Certificate of Excellence and review of my poem, Peace of Mind

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

Peace of Mind

What do geography and belief
Have in common? You ask yourself.

Well in every area in the world
People’s faith manifests itself as an umbilical chord

That pulls you towards strengthening
Your innate belief wherever you’re living.

Nature that surrounds you there
Inspires your discipline in faith that you’re

Applying by using your tongue to appreciate
The GOD given gifts, by using senses to venerate

The creator’s ingenuity in the beauty
Of simple things in life that are sturdy

In creating a depth of faith that’s
Indestructible for it, your spirit permeates.

The geography of faith is internalized
For it exists within and without, hard

To dislodge their meeting in a space
Whether vast or confined in your mind’s peace.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Faerie Princess

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

Faery Princess

The golden headed faery adorned
By her ringlets and curls, Winged
Transparent wings on her back held
Her aloft in her gauzy white gowned

Embroidered with multicolored flowers,
From hem to chest, she glows With powers
That flow through hands holding spheres
Shimmering with imagination’s beautifiers

That blaze, like lightning, into the soul
Filling them with an innate clamor for the hole
Of creativity, ideation to bloom full
Of inspiration, hard work that will dole

Out satisfaction in work done
To achieve their visions that none
Can attain without discipline,
Hard work, faith, and a will of stone.

Accolade for my poem,  Swimmer’s Regret

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Swimmer’s Regret

Art has many forms that astound,
Paintings in oils, acrylic,  water colors,
Poetry, imagery, similes, metaphors,
Sculptures of: wood, metal, ice, garbaged

Items repurposed into beauty that dumbfound
The beholder, listener, audience,
Whose aim is to be moved by peace
That’s striking In its presence to abound

In frames Of a sea cradling a swimmer,
Embracing his every stroke with power
To be driven to complete the competition as per
The rules, self-imposed, to strive for better

Health, wealth, status, and self-acceptance
That doing your best to achieve
Your goal is a noble undertaking to live
Without Regret of passed opportunities and brace

For the turbulence of life, mirrored
By nature’s squals, tornadoes, quakes
That compel fear to rise, never breaks
The mold except for those whose faith is grounded.

So the swimmer cuddles through
The cresting waves, never deterred
By the onslaught,  pushes toward
His goal letting life sink into pores that flew

Into the stratosphere, accepting
The warmth of the ocean as it entwines
Life’s struggles with joy that rhymes, like vines,
With belief’s empowering structure of believing.

Certificate of Notable Submission for my poem, Listen Wisely

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

Listen Wisely

Studies have shown that loud
Talkers are those who have lower
Self-confidence, using their voice in a crowd
Implies they’re trying to overwhelm listener

With their high pitch, while imparting
Little wisdom with gossip galore.
Speak your mind, but do it without parading
How rudely, loudly you interrupt the core

Of the flow of conversation.
What’s best is speaking wisely only,
Listen, think, then offer your opinion
Quietly imposing self-respect, carefully,

So that hearing and processing
What’s being said becomes innate,
As you’re not showing off, rather, stating
Knowledge in an acceptable tone with great

Purpose of conveying advice
That can be helpful if used wisely,
Not thrown away because it’s a piece
Spoken softly in tune with minds’ frequency.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, 

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

Frozen Footprints

I swing around
My gazes abound
And stall. Frozen on the ground
By the footsteps that are never found.

Each step was an adventure, gone
And never seen, but remembered as one
Whose stature is alone
In memory and stone.

Adoration of all that’s long gone is futile,
For your recall is colored by a grapevine
Of emotions that are supple
And unmanageable.

Let it go!
Move on, throw
Caution to the wind, and blow
Away boundaries that limit your flow!

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Silent Angel

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

This poem is dedicated to my mother and all mothers of great character.

Silent Angel

Mother, mother, angel forever,
Whether on earth or in heaven,
You lead us into prayer,

Teaching us discipline, as without
It we’re just marauders, aimless,
Painfully self-conscious of falling in a bout

In the boxing ring of life. Your selflessness
Taught us compassion, empathy
That strengthen our humanity in less

Aggravating circumstances that bless
Us with your sweet prayers, heard
By GOD to empower us through hardness

Of disillusionments, disappointments
That lay heavily on our soft hearts,
Yet, my angel, you raise me from depressants

To brilliant smile that glitters
Blinding the observer into thinking
Your worries are absent glimmers.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Cowardly Conscience

Cowardly Conscience

When you have a guilty conscience
Your immediate reaction is
To superimpose your feelings, piece
By piece on the one you argues

With, for it feels natural to believe
Of others what you believe you
Would do yourself, logic will strive
To drown out your guilt, but it’s too

Entrenched to let go, so, imposing
It on those you argue with seems
Natural,  but cowardly, as you don’t
Permit their voice, opinions to stems

Into a conversation for you
Automatically assume you know,
When the reality is, you’re too
Egotistical to actually heed what others know.

Gold Award for my acrostic poem, MUNDANE

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work required.

MUNDANE


Muddle through the mundane morass
Under the umbrella of life, ungrateful for the
Narcissist cycle of life that’s drainingly
Dramatic in daily routines, yet, once your
Ample gratitude kicks in, you
Note all you have that others don’t
Empowers you to push through the little things.
