Award of Appreciation for my poem,

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

Bound Butterfly

Though her wrists be bound
Their elegance and movement do astound
Their delicate strength holds life
In its tiny yet powerful softness rife

With rules: social, gender, political
That bind her moves further and dell;
Arms bound In chains as a butterfly rises above,
A symbol of fragility,  metamorphosis, love,

Beauty that instigates the ability
To change, adapt into new environment, happily
Flitting through life knowing, knowing
Its beauty will soar from plain to crumbling

Mountains spreading knowledge,
Purity of heart,  its muse for an adage
That’ll live on after the butterfly ‘s death
And the bound woman, but their breath

Filled with hope flies, like a kite,
Spreading harmony, that’s always bright.

Accolade for my poem, Sky, Soil, God

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Innately aware of your presence’s jubilations

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming, like sunrise,
Our core into being compassionately humane.

Certificate for my acrostic poem,  INFIDELITY

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

#Acrostic double
INFIDELITY    

Infidelity, indiscretion,                                           betraYal
Never come without consequences                          buT
Friends, family, spouses have been doing so since CaIne
Irresponsibly murdered Abel for power’s                  pulL
Deriving a sense of satisfaction in                        decEption
Endeavoring to hide, unknowing that truth won’t abiDe
Letting go of deception without paying a toll            In
Infinite regret, guilt that bog you with the weight    oF
Testing your faith in those you believe                  woN’t
Yield to anything but truth and                                  faIthfulness.

Accolade for my Haiku poem, Harmony

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

Harmony

Spring breezes, cooling heat
Springing flowers, leaves, colors
Burgeoning  in life

Strive for harmony
Mingling man, nature, tech in
Cohesive unit

One  begs fortitude
Of the other’s imagined
Wonder of splendor

Accolade for my poem,  Red- Winged Blackbird

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

Red- Winged Blackbird


Walking through High Park in May,
Watching the sun shining, while my heart’s gray,
The birds flit around, soaring, twittering,
Singing their songs of love and grieving

As they reflect spring colors in the Red-
Winged Blackbird, male, whose beautified
The sky with his colorful presence
And song of harmony with nature’s opulence.

He skims on the lake, greeting the loving
Swans, whose necks form a heart holding
On to their peaceful punion. The blackbird
Opens his wings and the red, yellow winged

Flighs back to the cherry blossoms
Whose white, pink, flowers calms
The disheartened souls without a qualm
As it promotes serenity that’s a balm

As their delicate transience
Is a reminder that life flashes with a purpose
Of acquiring wisdom, family, money,
To live a life of harmony like a monkey.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Sunrise

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

Sunrise

Every day,  without fail, the sun rises
It shines its intangible Rays, like fingers
Caressing your skin, body and limbs.
Everyone of them ends in special memories,
As each day brings in new events.
Some times, those are sad and lonely,
Others are depressing and gravely
Affect your humor and oddities.
They can take you into a dark abyss
Of despair,  and return with cheers.
Inspire you to believe in one more sunrise,
That lifts you above the murky fogs,
Into clouds, of such pristine whites,
That their glare overpowers,
While your fogged windows, from your breaths
Show your anticipation forwards
To one more unbelievable sunrise,
That becomes your muse for life’s
Unending wonder, transience, and colors.
Rainbows of which come out after the rains,
Reminding those bogged down to rise
Rise to the challenge of beauty and lived lives.

Diploma for my poem, Sounds of War

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

Sounds of War

Drum, drum, drum,
Drum the stoned bun,
Turn it around and run.

Drum, drum, drum,
The hum of whizzing stones
Drop like bombs on bones.

Crunch, crunch, crunch,
Rush to flee debris from a thump
That hits the head, and you’re dead! No pomp!

Stomp, stomp, stomp,
On the stoned cement
Fallen from bombardment ..

Cave, cave, cave,
Under the hopelessly inhumane
Conditions of decayed bodies, pain …

Rotting, rotting, rotting
Away in the streets, floors underground
With walls, furniture burying you, never found …

Slowly,  slowly,  slowly,
Killing you with death around you,
Within you, captivating you in its horror’s view.

Boom, boom, boom,
The shaking, quaking resulting
In fear spreading like bird songs floating …

Wheezing, wheezing, wheezing,
Trying to breathe under the rubble
Is like being buried alive in moving sands in a cuddle.

I can’t tank the administrators for their hard work and for choosing my poetry for this honor.

Have any of you poets written so much that you lose the writing that gets honored? Well, I do, and it’s embarrassing, to say the least, but if I do find it, I’ll update the post!
