Certificate of Notable Submission for my poem, Listen Wisely

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

Listen Wisely

Studies have shown that loud
Talkers are those who have lower
Self-confidence, using their voice in a crowd
Implies they’re trying to overwhelm listener

With their high pitch, while imparting
Little wisdom with gossip galore.
Speak your mind, but do it without parading
How rudely, loudly you interrupt the core

Of the flow of conversation.
What’s best is speaking wisely only,
Listen, think, then offer your opinion
Quietly imposing self-respect, carefully,

So that hearing and processing
What’s being said becomes innate,
As you’re not showing off, rather, stating
Knowledge in an acceptable tone with great

Purpose of conveying advice
That can be helpful if used wisely,
Not thrown away because it’s a piece
Spoken softly in tune with minds’ frequency.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, 

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

Frozen Footprints

I swing around
My gazes abound
And stall. Frozen on the ground
By the footsteps that are never found.

Each step was an adventure, gone
And never seen, but remembered as one
Whose stature is alone
In memory and stone.

Adoration of all that’s long gone is futile,
For your recall is colored by a grapevine
Of emotions that are supple
And unmanageable.

Let it go!
Move on, throw
Caution to the wind, and blow
Away boundaries that limit your flow!

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Silent Angel

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

This poem is dedicated to my mother and all mothers of great character.

Silent Angel

Mother, mother, angel forever,
Whether on earth or in heaven,
You lead us into prayer,

Teaching us discipline, as without
It we’re just marauders, aimless,
Painfully self-conscious of falling in a bout

In the boxing ring of life. Your selflessness
Taught us compassion, empathy
That strengthen our humanity in less

Aggravating circumstances that bless
Us with your sweet prayers, heard
By GOD to empower us through hardness

Of disillusionments, disappointments
That lay heavily on our soft hearts,
Yet, my angel, you raise me from depressants

To brilliant smile that glitters
Blinding the observer into thinking
Your worries are absent glimmers.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Cowardly Conscience

Cowardly Conscience

When you have a guilty conscience
Your immediate reaction is
To superimpose your feelings, piece
By piece on the one you argues

With, for it feels natural to believe
Of others what you believe you
Would do yourself, logic will strive
To drown out your guilt, but it’s too

Entrenched to let go, so, imposing
It on those you argue with seems
Natural,  but cowardly, as you don’t
Permit their voice, opinions to stems

Into a conversation for you
Automatically assume you know,
When the reality is, you’re too
Egotistical to actually heed what others know.

Gold Award for my acrostic poem, MUNDANE

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

MUNDANE


Muddle through the mundane morass
Under the umbrella of life, ungrateful for the
Narcissist cycle of life that’s drainingly
Dramatic in daily routines, yet, once your
Ample gratitude kicks in, you
Note all you have that others don’t
Empowers you to push through the little things.

Accolade for my poem,  Energy

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

Energy

Everything gives off energy,
People give out vibes that are clingy
To their character, soul, and humbly
Vibrate at a frequency that’s seemly.
             Plants, shrubs, and trees are no different.
             Have you stood by vegetation not cement?
             Felt the energy emanating in a vent,
            Reaching out to reduce anxiety onto a splint?
As my tactile senses overtake me,
I feel energy all around me:
People, cars, trees, parks are tame
And engrossed in a game that’s not lame.
     As I touch a living plant, I feel
     Its need to enrobe me in its touch,
     Its simplicity and innocence that fill
     My fingertips with a current that’s a badge
                            Of honor, as not all have the same
                           Level of sensitivity to fall under
                           The wonderment of nature’s thrall, and name
                           Man as its destroyer without any rancor.
             The life force, energy, magnetic field
             Are all one and the same, as each
             Creature emanates a void that embraced
            Its emptiness by acknowledging its existence.

Gold Award for my poem,  Resurrection’s Miracles

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

Resurrect Miracles

In a world where faith dissipates,
Like fog in the fall skies, creates
Mammals, mountains, shapes that face
The world, haughty in the knowledge that grace

Is innate and humanity is stamped
In your DNA, but while sins have manned
A heavy toll on your dwindling compassion
It requires the miracle of resurrection

In a bid to elevate humanity from
Its downward spiral into depravity that come
With a heavy price, souls flaming in hell.
It’s time for a resuscitation of what fell,

Sinful souls suffering, I give
You a second chance to live
A just, compassionate life full
Of prayer, communion with GOD, never full of bull.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,

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

Betrayal’s Ease

Shattered! Shattered mirror on the wall,
Tell me the tale of this broken heart,
Heart that was given in good faith, fall
From its bubble of joy unbound, ’till It start

Seeing a change in behavior
From her once loving spouse.
It started with little things, later
Home arrivals, short temper, grouse

As though she hasn’t accomplished
Her duties: caring for kids, perfecting
The art of home management, all his favored
Dishes made, all’s organized, unspoiled

Respect for his need to rest
After a strenuous day of work,
Not unlike hers,  but does hers count?
You might ask. The answer is, it’s all work!

Then, she finds a jeweler’s receipt,
Waits several days to receive the gift,
But nothing comes of it except pain that leapt
Creating doubt, dishonor,  hurt, she feels like a thrift

For her only treasures from him now
Are the angels asleep as she worries
What’s next.  He comes home with undies
In his pant pocket. She recognizes

The brand, of course,  it’s not hers!
She decides to shelve her negative
Assumptions,  deciding to give another’s
Chance to either talk about it or walk away to live

Without her beauty, compassion, freshness,
Empathy that come in her brand of flair,
A flair that’s still attractive, needing caress
That’ll alleviate what presses the air

Out of chocking lungs that can’t breathe
From the devastating betrayal that doesn’t ease.
