Diploma Certificate for my poem, Faerie Princess

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

Faery Princess

The golden headed faery adorned
By her ringlets and curls, Winged
Transparent wings on her back held
Her aloft in her gauzy white gowned

Embroidered with multicolored flowers,
From hem to chest, she glows With powers
That flow through hands holding spheres
Shimmering with imagination’s beautifiers

That blaze, like lightning, into the soul
Filling them with an innate clamor for the hole
Of creativity, ideation to bloom full
Of inspiration, hard work that will dole

Out satisfaction in work done
To achieve their visions that none
Can attain without discipline,
Hard work, faith, and a will of stone.

Accolade for my poem: Speedy Skateboard

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

Speedy Skateboard

In his jeans, tee, and baseball cap,
He skates around the city freely,
Going down streets, stairs, jumping fearlessly
Over obstacles, people, pets that hop

Through hoops and loops
Trying to survive a world of violence
That imposes the rule of the jungle, a case
For survival of the fittest, fastest pops

That skitter arrogantly on wheels
Of steel and rubber, faithfully turning,
Eating distances without reading,
As books aren’t what he needs to learn, but feels

That he has to engage in conversation
With neighbors, peers, around parks
Streets, compounds of cement peaks
As he streaks past couples, whose compassion

Lend others a hand when needed,
The elderly who need but a smile,
The children needing games that file
The pressure into a pile of garbage, led

By imagination’s growth through
Piously making use of its power
To creatively solve problem, never cower
As they speed through life in a cue.

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.

Accolade for my poem,  Festive City

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

Festive City

Painted roofs
On a cold day, running like hoofs,
Their brilliant shine,
It’s just fine
Surrounded by pine
Covered in blinking lights
Green, red, blue, whites
That twinkle at nights
Giving rise to hope
For a future where you don’t mope,
Fall into depression
Caused by holiday celebration
That cost a liver, kidney,
That you can’t live without the key
Of life, for cheer revokes
Loneliness, sadness that provokes
Moodiness, violent cakes
Falling apart As you built a  life that makes
You proud of your veneer
That never touches ethics that peer
Within, making you stronger
For your life is lighter
As most stress is caused
By gossip’s ear, whose vanity paused
To try and emulate what others had.

My poem, Cathedral Lights,  honored by Invisible Poets

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

Cathedral Lights

As the night covered the sky in a blanket
Of black,  the sudden lights in the tower
Lit up, like a Christmas tree, fit for a fight,
The most important one: Faith, prayer,

And belief in the here after
Whose work takes place in living
A life of discipline, a strength barer
For it gives you power for knowing

When to listen, stay calm, or fight.
Looking upon those brilliant
Lights is a beacon of peace at the height
Of chaos, violence, and war that can’t

Be put out, but that Cathedral,
Its age, architecture, and what it
Stands for: peace, acceptance, a call
To self-respect by realizing that belief built

The Cathedral within with all its
Grandor, elegance, survival, and brilliance
That outshines any building whose parts
Are man-made, while its faith has an innate luminescence.

Invisible poets honoring my poem: Stairway of Goals

Stairway of Goals

As I start my trek into the woods,
I note the natural stairway leading
To a summit. With each step I take, my son prods
Me on with encouraging, motivating
Talk that never falls short of helping me
Uncover my hidden strengths, in time

To achieve each goal in a space
Where my comfort is of paramount
Importance,  but I still need the grace
And humbleness to accept advice, even as I mount
An internal war to grow outside my realm
Of family, friends, extending my wings in my palm

To reach out to those who’ve lost
So much, as they feel stunted, stagnant,
But, really, their strengths are epic needing to be emulated.

One of the participants getting mentioned for my poetry

Below was the picture prompt for the contest: a noble ostrish. Below is an exert of the poem:

The Perfect Politician

Regal, nose up in the air,
Well dressed, in darkened color,
Portraying his evil soul that bore
His progeny and a history of colonial flair,

In which he poses for paintings
Not pictures, wears a ruff
Underlined with piqué lace on neck and cuff,
A velour jacket with extra ruffled sleeves

In a pint to show he has an ancestry
That’s as old as time, while, his beady
Eyes, pointy nose, extra long neck, crow a lively
Tune for a more modern age, where money

…

Is accumulated in his neck,
Will only let him see his long nose, forever
In the throws of making more money to close

The gap between fortunes on the
Elitist echelon of power hungry
Politicians whose small minds carry
Life of thousands in abject poverty who can’t breathe.

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.
