Niagara Falls – Poetry for Change

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Winter Scape

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Winter Scape

The bare trees are adorned in white
Snow begging for the frost to go,
Take a deep breath and vapor will flow,
The deadly cold has frozen the lake in a fight

Against Niagara Falls’ powerful
Current vainly trying to escape
The icy sheets’ scrape, scratch in a leap
To continue on as a sheet, but, the full

Power of three lakes joining
Is never ending breaking of formed
Ice that disintegrated like glass, popped
Into the current, flop into floating

Unseen for the force the fall
Has broken it asunder, but it has only
Changed form into flowy watery
Water That crashes on rocks like a ball

Bouncing from its fall. The rainbow
Eclipses all the crystalline formations
With its arc of colors shining, agglomerations
Of beauty and hope brightening winter’s flow.

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.
