Gold Certificate for my poem: Portait of Regret

Portait of Regret

Pastels enrobe her, twilight presses her,
As fiery hues caress her face and hands,
As she holds a pink rose to her nose, smells
Its fragrant aroma, as she turns away for fear

And regret grip her aching heart,
As regret, twists her emotions,
Rendering her vulnerability flagrant
And easily susceptible to sensations

Running deep into a heart full
Of compassion, empathy that’s taken
Advantage of, for her convictions cull
People into rightful categories that blacken

Her illusions in kin, friends, and humanity’s
Ability to stand together against
Violence, aggression, destruction, and their powers’
Of being judge and jury to who’s allowed to lives.

Certificate of Excellence/ Valentine Special: Betrayal, My Love

Betrayal

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain. ….

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand. ….

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms, including Amazon.com. It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023.

Greetings, Life

Hello life!

What have you seen?
How have you been?
Has time, in its transience, kept you keen?

Have you asked it its reason for being?
Have you asked destiny why it’s fleeing?
Have you asked faith why it’s redeeming?

Life, I wish you could respond,
My questions are many and correspond
To all that happens that only seems morbid.

News and social media, all expound on
All that is negative: violence, death, con,
Racism, segregation, depravity, and poison.

All that pessimism holds no importance
To our health and emotional stability, whose significance
Vis a vis a world that’s dominated by impudence.

Alter, change, deviate from all that’s the same,
Be ‘you’, unique, strong, and don’t play their game,
Play yours, turn it into a burning flame.

Writing poetry

Your Muse is either music (DavidArnold, Who YouReally Are, & Metamorphosis), society, you, life, relationships, dicord, or anything really. You add your words, on paper, and you get this:

Notice please: crossed out parts, lines that are supposed to an m, and personal note at the top (Kafka). Love writing!
