Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Sunset Shoreline

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sunset Shoreline

Many warm, sunny days live
Live, happily in my memory bright,
Bright In the caressing rays of sunset,
Sunset as I ran with my GSD along,
Along the shoreline playing tag,
Tag each other and wrestle,
Wrestle in the wet sand,
Sand whose tiny molecules hide,
Hide everywhere in discomfort,  memory,
Memory of laughs, games,
Games that keep me on my toes,
Toes that leave footprints,
Footprints in the sand , erased,
Erased with the waves kissing,
Kissing the sand gently cradling,
Cradling its billions of grains,
Grains of sand shining in the dying,
Dying light as memory turns dark,
Dark with the night filled with lustrous,
Lustrous lucent quality,  wondrous,
Wondrous to gaze at its resplendent,
Resplendent glory that lives like a star,
Star in your memory bank, always sublime.

Accolade and review of my poem,  Poet or AI

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Poet or AI

Staring at the blank page,
I wonder which words will
Walk in the journal in the age
Of fake people, news, expectations that kill

The soul of creativity replaced,
Replaced by AI, that seems to insist
It will take over ingenuity, graced
By humanity’s wondrous spirit whose gist

Is made of light, dark, and grey.
The rainbow of emotions need to be felt
To be expressed and comparing a bay
To a hidden pearl isn’t the pelt

Or part of the its arsenal
Of diversity that enriches
The text with culturally metaphorical
Language that hatches

Between the lines for greater
Depth of meaning and comparing
The incomparable becoming the promoter
Of the noblest of muse to people setting

Precedents and going farther
In delving into the unknown
Sphere of linguistic wonder
That requires a mind of its own.

I am the poet whose imagination
Will eternally spell creation.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Nepotism’s Destruction

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Nepotism’s Destruction

The poisoned apple can snuff a life
Without a qualm, either slowly or fast,
It still kills without remorse, as strife,
Stress, and negativity are all a test

To be overcome or death is not rest,
It creates gossip’s unrest in negativity,
Whose a pest greater than any disease that’ll crest
And fall as nature accommodates its biology

To fight Its contagion. Yet, it’s still
Easily deposed if positivity takes hold,
Rises to the fore, a brilliant grace of will
That’s unincumbered by all that’s depressed

Into a well of darkness that’s hell
When faith, Belief, and optimism
Are the test that help you ring the bell
That destoys negativity’s Nepotism.

Certificate of Notable Submission for my poem, Untitled

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Look into the mirror of a possible future
Where poverty is NONEXISTENT, and endless
Prospects for change and advancements race
Through imaginations running wild for a cure
To end poverty, sickness by becoming a doctor
Who heals not only the body but souls to the core.

Review and accolade for my poem, My Love

Every time I receive a review,  I feel like a lottery winner. It’s empowering and highly  inspiring.  Thank you, guys, for your comments.

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.
As my shadow sits on the bench, alone,
My eyes mist like dew drops covering
The wet grass, as memories flood, gone,
The world has taken this love and kept living.

Award of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Forgiving Love

In computer language, when writing
Code the use of ‘if and only if’ is a representation
Of the double conditional of loving
And forgiving, for as you love, your adoration

Will inevitably permit you to forgive
For you give excuses for the mistake
Without even thinking twice,  for you have
Compassion, empathy for understanding that life is a cake

Sometimes it’s sweet, fluffy,  delicious,
And others, flat, dry, inedible, unlivable.
So to forgive is to love, and to love’s precious
Gift you must forgive mistakes whose hurt is palpable.

Rest assured that when you apply
This motto, people will return it spontaneously
For life, Karma, is about give and take, happily
Sharing forgiveness and love is endlessly rewarding to both parties.

Review of my Poem, Poetry or AI

I’m flabbergasted by the reviews and comments on this particular poem, as the day before I wrote it, my daughter mentioned that my role as a poet will become obsolete soon with the development of AI. My answer was my poem:

Poet or AI

Staring at the blank page,
I wonder which words will
Walk in the journal in the age
Of fake people, news, expectations that kill

The soul of creativity replaced,
Replaced by AI, that seems to insist
It will take over ingenuity, graced
By humanity’s wondrous spirit whose gist

Is made of light, dark, and grey.
The rainbow of emotions need to be felt
To be expressed, and comparing a bay
To a hidden pearl isn’t the pelt

Or part of the its arsenal
Of diversity that enriches
The text with culturally metaphorical
Language that hatches

Between the lines for greater
Depth of meaning and comparing
The incomparable becoming the promoter
Of the noblest of muse to people setting

Precedents and going farther
In delving into the unknown
Sphere of linguistic wonder
That requires a mind of its own.

I am the poet, whose imagination
Will eternally spell creation.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Wishing for Death

Wishing for Death

As you age, wisdom flits in moments,
Unexpected as they happen quietly,
Without fanfare, they turn disappointments,
Successes into an arduous world where honesty

Equality, and values of empathy
Have flown the coop and landed on depravity,
Turning goodness to a selfish policy
That rots humanity from within, And honestly

Watching the evaporating humanity
Drive a sword into our hope for the future
Of society that’s sold its soul carelessly
To the highest bidder for avarice is a prayer

That never lets up, while the joy
Of Community’s standing together
Has rusted shut the chains of hope in a ploy
To resuscitate ethics’ splendor.

This disillusionment makes me wish
For death earlier so as not To watch
Decadence become their sole purpose, a brush
And it’s a contagion that sucks the soul into a hatch.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Shipwrecked Dreamer

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Shipwreck Dreamer

Dreamer, dream me a world,
World where shipwrecks don’t stand,
Stand a chance of occurring simply,
Simply because injustice doesn’t,
Doesn’t exist in its vocabulary,
Vocabulary of those who put aside,
Aside hate, prejudices, racism,
Racism that lends a hand ,
Hand to segregation, violence,
Violence based on ignorance,
Ignorance of factual reality,
Reality that’s not AI generated,
Generated to create dissention,
Dissention that makes people easier,
Easier to control in smaller groups,
Groups Whose unity is divided,
Divided so they’re sold a storyline,
Storyline they want promoted,
Promoted to make them victims,
Victims whose reality is they are,
They Are the aggressors in lamb’s skin,
Skin that’s white passing,
Passing the test of integration,
Integration into the Elitists’ circle,
Circle that turns the wheel back,
Back on sender, by destroying,
Destroying the oppressor.
