Verses of Soul present my poem: Lonely Bench,  with this certificate

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

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the park’s empty lane
That was filled with pattering feet, clench
Their hands together, riding, running, fain

The need to socialize, expanding
Energy, that seems boundless,
Enjoying the freedom of summer, fleeting,
As those moments become heartless

Dissipating into the waiting emptiness
Of autumn’s fiery colors blessedly
Oblivious that summer’s cheer
Has receded into the sky’s grey, charcoaly

Horizon, never to return the same
But better, if one appreciates their
Significance: nature’s hibernation came
With a time in spring, rejuvenation’s care

That dares to bloom again,
From a seeming emptiness that’ll
Gain depth, strength,  beauty that’ll train
The eye into its wondrous refrain.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Sky, Soil, GOD

Thank you,  administrators, for the accolade 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 your 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,
Also innately aware of your presence’s jubilations,

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

Certificate of Outstanding for my poem, Sea’s Sunset

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

Sea’s Sunset

The clouds climb high, like mountains
In the sky, some are smaller and stains
The sky, like a painter, with red, pink, blue,
Orange that coalesce Into a darkened view

Of immeasurable beauty of the setting sun
Burning the sky’s clouds with its breath that’ll run
Over the setting sun with a scenic beauty
Unparalleled by any ‘Man’, for the creator, wisely

Intensifies the pull to nature
So that it increases our faith’s cure
For depression, stress, anxiety
That are alleviated by streaky

Waves that pummel the shore
With a power whose core
Is just three atoms, but their strength
Comes from their unity of breath

That lives for all to enjoy
If only you take the time not to be coy
In appreciation of the majesty that is
All around you, and found within the peaks

Of waves, white foamy appearance,
But feel and taste salty which grace
The sand with an abundance of plentifulness
That eases the pangs of hunger without avarice.

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.

Notable Submission, 

PEOPLE
Acrostic

P eople of color, native whose vigor
E nlightened the colonizer on ways to
O verpower the climate, use nature’s gifts
P opulate using a balance of needs and protecting
L everaging knowledge, honesty, innocence,
E xcluding ethnic cleansing of a native’s peoples.

Certificate of Excellence,  poem: Deemflum Falls

Deemflum Falls

In the icy winter frost, the visit
To Niagara Falls is a balm on a troubled
Soul whose daily anxieties transform into mist
That continually rise above the falls, unmoved
By the chaotic madness of a world
Filled with death, murder, violence,
And destruction that require you to hold
Onto your sanity by turning to the deemflum face

Of letting your worries evaporate,
Like the misty fog, into skies so blue,
They pierce into a heart rarely in sync with fate
As the cacophony of splashing sheets of true

Blue raise your spirit into a haven
Of quietude balanced by the icy
Crunch of frozen shelves shedding cotton
Balls through the air like rainy

Pellets that strike a balance
Between the reality and what’s imaginary.

Double Diamon Certificate: Faery Wonderland

Faery  Wonderland

In a faery wonderland, she’ll stand,
Hands held together in veneration for land
Whose fantastical beauty astounds,
Its colors: rainbowed pastels in grands

Accumulated in clicks of reds, blue,
Pinks, greens, whose hues flew
Across the bay, scattered haphazardly
In a motley crew of geometrically

Arranged order that’s breathtaking
In their form, as they stand as sentries breaking
….


A story of struggle that united
The varied creatures to be one,
As they strive to keep their beauty in a shrine.

Double Gold certificate

The Imaginary Train

The antique train whose trim
Of burnished wood shone against
The moonlight perpetrating its glam
Exterior with inner luxury at the behest
Of imagination that couldn’t rest.

The marvels of crystal chandeliers
Hanging over dining areas stupefy
The onlooker with wealth that prospers
Through diamond necklaces dangling in hefty
Abundance with gold on skin that’s shiny.

My eyes stray to windows whose glare
Of the lover’s moon is framed
In a beauteous flame that’ll revere
The scene unfolding in a dreamed
Opulent night littered with star-studded

Light of glittery jewels that put
Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, to shame
As the light blinds your eyes and cut
The veil of imagination by rendering it lame
In the presence of nature’s magic, that’s aflame.

Let the train take you on its journey,
The journey of life that twists, turns,
Dips, and rises to all occasions with a flurry
Of activity that glories fighting pains,
Overcoming obstacles as small as grains.

Triple Gold Certificate for my poem: Heart Slept

Heart Slept

It’s a romantic night,
A roaring fire, bright,
Rain’s pitter patter, light,
Grey skies spilling tears of fright.

The roamtic violin’s dreamy tunes
Creates an ambiance of runes
That devine future’s fortunes
That explode in a boom of fumes.

Romance dies a tragic death,
People move on without a breath,
Devastation reigns in line with
The fumes of death traveling in stealth.

Romance’s death is felt
With all loss of hope that spelt:
Joy, compassion, fury, hate that left
An empty hole where the heart slept.
