Diploma for my poem,  The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In a uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows, and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit on wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the seasons blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe.

Accolade for my poem,  Blue’s Castle

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Blue’s Castle

On a baby blue sky day, the castle
Enrobed in golden rays shining
Off arched windows, bright ball
Reflecting the lives, deaths that call

Out to the living, teaching wisdom
From history etched on walls,
There’s always a place and time
For all around to learn and come

To conclusions that help the living
Improve their plight by learning
From history’s lessons without any whispering
Of war or fight that has corpses lying

Out of sight. The whale statue adorning
The outer walls, inviting, spontaneous warning:
All to enter its domain, peering
Into a long gone era of traversing

Centuries of wisdom runs into
The Renaissance era of science
That delves into all that’s tangible, a foe
To faith that’s documented in books that grow

In importance, for the morals
Within are a blessing for the intelligent,
Who want to reduce their workload, calls
Out that learning from experience isn’t a falls.

Review for my double acrostic poem, BELLY LAUGHS POP

Thank you both for your critique. Your support is highly appreciated.

BELLY LAUGHS POP
(Double Accrostic)

Bellow, bleat, blather, blow, bloB,
Every laugh’s absurdity is in somE
Lanky’s lair making him squirm and waiL
Laughing while his belly will lolL …
Yelling, chortling, snickers all gigglY.

Lively tunes rhythmically lulL
As you take a breath and rise, A
Universal communication in perdU
Glorying in its transience that belonG
Here to help you revere each laugH
Simply to make you feel younger, and haS

Princely returns, for you to droP
Over reality into a world where chortling’s toO
Powerful to be beat by a slumP.

Certificate of Notable Submission for my poem, Mirror

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Mirror


Look into the mirror of a possible future
Where poverty is NONEXISTENT, and endless
Prospects for change and advancements race
Through imaginations running wild for a cure
To end poverty, sickness by becoming a doctor
Who heals not only the body but souls to the core.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Silence’s Curator

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Silence’s Curator

The green sprouts standing like sentinels
Protecting the beauty of nature’s quiet
Harmony that pulls its nutrient
Silently from the earth to nourish the bells

Of flowers dangling haphazardly
On long stems, sending their scent
Into the air attracting bees,  birds, that lent
Their efforts to pollinate nature’s beautifully

Synced ecosystem in a paltry effort
To beautify more fully a world
Needing its slow pace to reflect, to write a word
On the journey of life’s ups, downs, twist

That have you spinning in place
Like a top without a head ruling
Its grace with patience of flowing
Oceans whose quiet but all elegance.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Inspiration

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Inspiration

To love or not to love? That the question
For today’s generation used to instant
Gratification,  unknowing that love is ministration,
Balancing act of give and take, sacrifice but
Never disillusionments for both are on the same cut
Wavelength that harmonizes actions, reactions,
That are bent on separation, but their love is inspirations.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Smile

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Smile

A smile of kindness is all it takes to lift a soul
Up from feeling lonely, so smile
At the clerk, complement them
And listen to their reaction, a gem,

As their smile lights their eyes
And opens up a conversation of trivialities
That boost the soul, motivating
Them to simply enjoy the day while the sun’s shining.

It’s those simple acts of kindness
That distinguish our uniqueness
And humanity from those who’ve
Lost their compassion and empathy for love

Of their fellow ‘man’ in humanity.

Accolade for my poem,  Double Rainbow

Thank you for the accolade and your hard work.

Double Rainbow

Rainbows around the world have hope
Tethered to their appearance after storms
That hit unexpectedly, yet their shine comes
With brilliance as they obliterate upheavals, you cope

With daily routines that dull your cheer,
Yet, when a double rainbow appears,
Double the gifts simultaneously, become freer
As worries dissipate like vapor without fears

They might return for beauty casts
A shadow of splendor coated in a Golden
Sheen, a treasure of unparalleled pasts
That throw away their appreciation of being beholden

To beauty that revives our belief that
Life should be appreciated every moment
For it’s gone the next, or anxious despair  that
Coat your soul with a monstrous blight:

An evil trying to seep your wonder
Into depravity, an evil whose darkness
Places an endless abyss, never
Grace, within that devours turning you helpless.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Forgiving Love

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Forgiving Love

In computer language, when writing
Code the use of ‘if and only if’ is a representation
Of the double conditional of loving
And forgiving, for as you love, your adoration

Will inevitably permit you to forgive
For you give excuses for the mistake
Without even thinking twice,  for you have
Compassion, empathy for understanding that life is a cake

Sometimes, it’s sweet, fluffy,  delicious,
And others, flat, dry, inedible, unlivable.
So to forgive is to love, and to love’s a precious
Gift, you must forgive mistakes whose hurt is palpable.

Rest assured that when you apply
This motto, people will return it spontaneously
For life, Karma, is about give and take, happily
Sharing forgiveness and love is endlessly rewarding to both parties.

Featured on ILA Magazine visual art/ poetry feature, poem: Zippered Blood Red Lips

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Zippered Blood Red Lips

Free Speech, what a peach,
Red on one side, filled with blood,
Orange is getting ready to spill it on the beach,
Yellow glows to an attractive bond

Luring you in to speak and spill
Your life’s golden opinions
Only to be torn apart and grill
Your blue blood on a spit of confirmations

That your ideologies conform
Without opposition to ICE¹,
Or politically connected storm
Of people who can turn, in a thrice,

The ability to protest against
An imposed narrative that demands
People’s acceptance of it being a test
Of vindicating themselves for atrocities

Done in the name of ‘Being
GOD’S chosen people’ while
Everyone else’s opinion, crossing
Theirs is automatically treated vile

As a treacherous snake attacking
From any hidden point to use
Suprise as a ruse to killing
More and more babes, women, whose

Children, brothers, sisters, sires,
Have been decimated in honor
Of keeping Free Speech as peaches
That have red lips zipped in golden color.

‘A cage, no matter how beautiful,
Is still a cage’, and red lipped lips
Shiny in blood red rouge is blissful
In the knowledge that Free Speech becomes corpses.
