Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Mom, Habibti

Thank you,  administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  This poem is very close to my heart since it’s about mother’s and our fears.

Mom, Habibti

Mother, moma, mum, mama,
Who are you?
Are you just the giver of life?

Mom, madre, mami, mam, ma,
What would you do to protect your babe?
Legal or nefarious means?

Mother, oumi, mama, Haha, mà,
How do you love equally all your babe?
Do you prefer one over another? Why?

Mam, nanay, habibti, ema, mamma,
How do you empower all your babe?
Do you compare them and demean some?

Mami, mother, mom, love, Ema,
Love me for me!
Never send me away or leave me!

Mum, mother, maman, madre, Ema,
Don’t break my heart to leave,
Don’t break my heart and hate me!

Happy Valentine 💝

Wishing everyone a happy day to love freely without hindrance.  Life without love becomes dreary and unlivable.

  I hope you enjoy my poem about this celebratory day of love, compassion,  understanding,  and being there For one another.

Sweet Bear

Teddy bear,  teddy bear,
Your honey colored fur is the softest
Velvet,  whose satiny sheen takes care
Of your compassionate heart
That’s all too aware of the hazards
That love has to overcome to stay
Strong in the face of peer pressures
That stung, like bee stings in play.

Certificate of Distinction for poems about Valentine

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  The prompts were about cultural symbols of love given daily for 1 week. Below is 1 of those:

I PROMISE
Acrostic

I’m hardwired to nurture,

Promising to love you in sickness, health, and
Respect who you are without changing
Out your ethics, character, that
Melts my heart as your soft compassion
Internalized in our love, never to
Separate, except when it overflows to
Empower our kids in their lives.

Certificate Diploma for my poem:

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.  It is highly appreciated.

Love’s Tune

Oh ye longing for life’s love
Hoping that holding hands
Heralds peace’s heavenly heaving hearts
Warming away the ice, waylaying the dove

Whose mighty hope in a world
That throws tantrums if the heart
Falls for its soul mate, whose burst
Of lava of emotions is a refrain that hold

A symphony of their making,
Dancing, singing to its tune,
At times frisky, bluesy, romantic, straining
To hear what’s unheard, love in a dune

That breezes alter and never
Croon in rhythm of trends that bloom
In antithesis to love’s truer
Form that never lets down the groom.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Love’s Poetry

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work and mine! Being 12 of 26 poets honored is a great impetuous to write more.

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin

Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws

Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook

Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem: Staying Power

Staying Power

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration
Of words in rhyme and rhythm?
A world of poetic devices, accommodation
Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?

What’s a love story
If not one that has a start,
Climax, and end that’s happy or gory?
Where pink tinted glasses reflect

The author and audience’s
Need to escape life’s duties, stresses
That place tremendous pressures
On couples needing one anothers happiness

Without needing to compromise
Or putting in the hard work required.
‘What’s love?’, in that case?
That’s the staying power of being loved,

Loved for yourself,
Loved for your strengths, weaknesses,
Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf,
As your greatest power shines in smiles

That never dim while facing despair.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Peace’s Breath

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Peace’s Breath

Round, round goes the world
In a merry-go-round filled
With laughter, life, violence,
Death in a grim cycle needing peace.

Peace for the young whose
Disrupted childhoods froze
With wars’ colonizing program
To alter countries’ cultures for a flame

Feasting on disintegration of families,
Cultures, languages, civilizations whose priorities
Are fostering longevity by strengthening
Community’s peaceful bonds, wishing,

Wishing for the propagation of unity
Against an army of aggression, violently
Expanding its reach into disharmony
Among land, people, conquerors, passionately

Striving to compensate murder
Rather than an orchestration that’ll ponder
The need to revitalize a willful strength
Embued with peace’s powerful breath.
