Part of a great group of poets

Having found my poetic niche, I’ve found that even online friends feel closer to me than others. We’ve connected on a poetic, inspirational plane, where anything is made possible through our writing: peace, war, aggression, agreement, love, love’s demise, and so much more. I’m always astounded by the turn of the phrases, visuals, musicality, and fun available in each poet’s writing and vision of reality that affects them.

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms including Amazon.  It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023.

Certificate of Achievement,  acrostic poem: Soliloquy

SOLILOQUY

 
Soliloquy is the art of internal dialog
Omitting nothing of your thoughts,
Leaving your subconscious bare
In voicing your greatest wishes, fears,
Ingrained and developed, are all
Omnipotent over your actions, reactions,
Quitting is never the solutions,
Unraveling under pressure is useless,
Yet, falling is what we do best! Then, get up again.

Forgotten History: Old Souk: Gold and Clothing

I’ve lived in Tripoli, Lebanon, for 20 odd years and never visited the old Souks. Artisanal clothing of hijab, kaftan, and much more are available to choose from. The variety will please all possible tastes in fashion, from materials to folklore designs, representing the culture of the middle east. The rainbow of colors and materials will astound the onlooker with joy and appreciation for the embroidery.

On the other side of this market is the Gold Souk, where you can see the craftsmen working with the gold, turning it into luxurious pieces.

Poems, including mine, chosen for accolades, by Invisible Poets for the 📸 prompt

Vintage Champion

Breakfast is the most important meal,
Meal, so, yes, daily coffee is a must,
Must have my routine lined up into a dot,
Dot of care and reverence for health,
Health vital to survival as coffee,
Coffee is my best friend to lend,
Lend a hand in preparing a champion’s,
Champion’s nutrients in a vintage,
Vintage kitchen, where Lucy’s prancing,
Prancing elegantly from station to,
Station to gather all ingredients for,
For a nutritious meal, giving you fuel,
Fuel to attain success in your day,
Day of conflict, within and without,
Without flaying under the pressure,
Pressure of navigating social endeavors,
Endeavors that need a will of steel,
Steel, like your strength, unlimited,
Unlimited by the dire press of a lack,
Lack of self-confidence that brings,
Brings you down into the depths,
Depths of the darkened abyss, a cave,
Cave of knotted bliss of doubt.

Gold Certificate of Poetic Excellence: Satan’s Bride

Satan’s Bride

The bride of Satan, dressed in white lace,
Covered neck, arms, wrist, and breast,
But her ‘come hither’ looks abound on her face,
Where her Blue sultry eyes twinkle and rest

On her next victim, whose naivety
Dumps them on a crest of eternal
Damnation, as she pouts her way
Into susceptible hearts that are flug into a stall

Of manure adored rest filled with the plague
Of depression’s harbor, as she seduces
Without rest, all those having an affinity to renege
On a contract, signed in blood, that produces

Regret of lost souls, pride, arrogance
As they imbibe of her nectar, and believe
Her spiel sermon of drivel, convince
Victims with her extraordinary beauty to leave

Them panting, unthinking, as they sign
On the dotted line unthinking of their living line.

Award of Appreciation

Tear Drop

Are you as invisible as ‘a drop in the ocean’,
Or are you ‘the entire ocean in a drop’?
If you feel insignificant, worthless, nugatory,
Then you’re letting the world define
You in ways that are superficial that cop-
Out, hiding who you are in a flurry

Of dichotomy that examplefies the self
In opposition to the other, needing to change
To integrate in a society filled with bias.
Visualize your being as a water drop full
Of hope, life, discipline, ethics that charge
Into a blind world that needs visionaries

Who start by expanding themselves, encompassing oceans
Simply by staying true to their standards.
