Diploma for my poem, HE Holds Hearts

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

HE Holds Hearts

Our bleeding, broken hearts of clay
And blood bleed profusely in a cup
Overflowing with torments of war that sup
On hope’s depression that hangs in a bay

Turned blood red in a husk of hay,
Dried up hope that can’t stay alive
In a world that seems to have forgotten to strive
For peace, for their compassion is blown astray.

HIS palms safeguard the pieces of hearts
Pulverized by visions of deadly murder
On screens that bring screams of mother,
Father, children in horrific suspension as parts

Are blown to smithereens and only identifying
Thing is the ink on limbs carrying names
Of children in black, that gets erased as flames
From explosions erode any ink stains remaining

On skin that deliquesces from being scorched
By burning flames that flutter over
Corpses, gas that dematerialize any cover
With its combustible matter, a deflagrated

Hideous serpent that swallows everything
In its path and ignites into a colorful, reddish blaze
That only receeds upon engulfing the craze
Of all that is in its path, turning it to a Phoenix rising from ash.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Twilight’s Darkened Light

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Twilight’s Darkened Light

The night’s fading darkness
Is illuminated by filaments that glimmers
With piercing reddish hues
Into a horizon of fading darkened blues.

With each touch of brilliant, glinting light
The scenery is transformed,  bright
As a white pigeon in heightened flight,
Soaring, like Icarus, too near the sun’s slight

Heat that tenderly caresses its feathery
Wings across all living things, bravely
Broaching the new day optimistically,
Knowing that man’s destruction will invariably

Alter the breathtaking beauty of sunrise,
Twisting its vibrancy into shades
Of tenebrous grey, colorless, and lifeless,
As everything becomes hopeless.

Let each new day be your oath
To be stronger than the sun’s breadth,
As you emulate its depth
Of strength, that reigns above all in stealth.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,

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

Important Insignificance

The fox enveigled the cheese from the raven,
The child wheedles the cookies from parent,
The dog raises his puppy eyes and melts your heart.

The birds twitter and flutter coaxing attention,
The flower shyly moves its petals to receive
Its caresses from the sun’s rays: nutrition!

The man wads his wallet to empress,
While the woman wears her war paint as not to depress;
The elderly lament their youth, and try to cajole

Their kin into longer and more frequent visits.
While the individual struggles to beguile themselves
Into believing they’re valued more than they are!

Ironically,  they lack the vision to see their importance,
That drives jealousy in others in constant
Turmoil with themselves,  for those lack your presence!

Ocean’s Lament, my poem Published in ILA magazine

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

Ocean’s Cry

Oh you blue body of life,
Your azure, royal blue, turquoise, teal,
Color my life in blues, uplifting strife
From the midst of man’s fall. Real,

Real in his prolific dumping of garbage
In its depths, insouciant of consequences
On marine life, that’s slowly disappearing into a cage
Of fishing nets, plastic bags, oil spills, defaces

Defaces reefs, shores, schools of fish,
Extinguishing crustacean habitats,
Underwater algae beds where fish,
Multicolored of varying shapes and sizes,

Sizes that help propel the flourishing
Ecosystems beneath man’s watchful
Eye who’s still looking for expanding,
Conquering territories for boastful,

Boastful insecurities that need
To be bolstered by their flashy vanity,
Showing off their possessions, a creed
Of avarice, capitalism, and duplicity.

Duplicity in dealing justly, meticulously
Working in protecting assets’ vanishing
Existence, as man only knows how to fully
Siphon resources without a care of destroying,

Destroying access to them in a furor
Of greed that’s only surpassed by
Pride’s cataclysmic need to conquer
The unknown by debasing it as simple opposition that’s binary.

My sincere appreciation for the honor bestowed on my writing.  Thank you administrators.

Hallowed Dialogue

The lion whisperer bends gently
Towards the enormous lion
Caressing his whiskers, quietly,
Softly moving slowly in a run on

Calm strokes as he murmurs
In a singsong voice, base
Undertones that grasp the lion’s roars
Incorporating them into a sotto pause

…

Honoring their Creator, believing
In a melding of minds that’s kind.

As they revere GOD’S gifts
They share a hallowed discussion
Of the importance that lifts
Their souls together into heaven’s transformation.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Hunger to Survive

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

Hunger to Survive

The lion lays quietly atop an overhanging hill.
He waits, watches in the vain fervor that his prey
Will come to him in deadly night like a diet pill
That will stop his hunger and permit his teeth to stay
Sharp, glistening white, creating a shiver of fear
Of their ferocity and ability to tear apart an arm,
Or important extremities that flash their spear
Of speed trying to outrun the King.

The atmosphere of fear is so authentic
That I can feel the lion’s eyes shifting silently,
Watching guardedly, waiting patiently to pounce happily
On his unsuspecting prey.  His jaws are cave like
In their imposing strength and force of bite.

Never fear the lion, for you know he attacks
To survive, not for pleasure.
Fear those who appear like sheep, but are
More serpent or fox, for their poisons
Attack the soul and destroy lives as if doing you favors.

Bronze Certificate of Achievement,  poem: Nature’s Rejuvenation

I’d like to thank the administrators for the honor they’ve bestowed on my poetry.

Nature’s Rejuvenation

The wonder of the sea as it cleanses
Itself with waves frothed in peaks
Of brilliant white, flagging the onlookers

To note its brilliance as it hits the shore
With great abundance of fish, sea urchins’ core,
Crustaceans who never bore,

All vie to survive in an ecosystem
Whose balance is fragile but come
Forward to purify an environment is lame

As it’s bombarded in garbage,
Toxins that destroy the balance, in an age
Where every resource and commodity rage

For its preservation for survival
Of humanity is vital,
But, Man’s corporal life hung in destruction of the mystical.

Bronze Certificate

Thank you, Marie Harris, for the honor! The picture prompts you produce are always amazing!

Winter’s Hold

A quater of the full moon
Is covered by blue clouds,
Looking like Swiss cheeses
Whose borders are tree branches,
Naked from any adornments.

As the other tree’s branches rise
Higher, they touch the smoke
Coming out of chimney’s poke,
That reaches into the sky, a supplication stroke,
To an unending, breathtaking look

Generating a reverence for the real,
Imposing nature of winter’s bold
Winter scenery that takes a hold
Over you, as wonder as beauty’s cold
Reverence stretches into the raven sky taking in the fold.

As the branches hug the moon,
So does nature embrace man’s vicarious
Need to expand into its territory, vivacious
In his propagation, uncaring of his malicious
Effect on nature’s cycle that’s on the way to decimation.

Double Bronze certificate!

Wohooooo!

Room of Bloom

The ancient mansion stood majestically
On a hill, reigning supreme over its property.
Its white washed Roman columns
Portentous of a long gone Era of prosperties,
Where everything was grandiosely fashioned.

I walk up to its opulent two door gate, bold,
Using the lionhead brass knocker, collide
History with modernity that interact without
Affecting one another, but beauties attract
Their audience, regardless of their epoch.

Traversing into a world of Babylonian
Elegance painted in a rainbow of augustian
Splendor dotted by verdant dendritic
Filled foliage attracting visions of historic
Opulence, whose loss is catastrophic in nature.

Man’s love of wealth and ownership
Of all that’s esthetically vibrant will flip
His survival to death, caused by his avarice,
Omnipotent in its idolatry of self-importance,
That’s thoughtless in its vanity and egotism.
