Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,

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

Important Insignificance

The fox enveigled the cheese from the raven,
The child wheedles the cookies from parent,
The dog raises his puppy eyes and melts your heart.

The birds twitter and flutter coaxing attention,
The flower shyly moves its petals to receive
Its caresses from the sun’s rays: nutrition!

The man wads his wallet to empress,
While the woman wears her war paint as not to depress;
The elderly lament their youth, and try to cajole

Their kin into longer and more frequent visits.
While the individual struggles to beguile themselves
Into believing they’re valued more than they are!

Ironically,  they lack the vision to see their importance,
That drives jealousy in others in constant
Turmoil with themselves,  for those lack your presence!

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Reflection or Refraction

Reflection’s  Refraction?

Mirror,  mirror, ‘Who am I looking at?’
Is that face, mouth, nose, all mine?
Mirror, what do you see when you look at
Me? Is it just my beauty and thine?

Have I no substance in your mind?
Haven’t you born witness to the depth
I hide behind the broken smile that’ll find
A hidden maze to secrete screctets in a breath
That creates a brume on your shiny
Expanse? Does it fog my reflection
Of a life lived, enjoyed, even chose empathy
For the plight of others under destruction?

As the image is reflected back at me,
I wonder on the choices I made,
The trajectory I took, is what has come
To be a reflection or refraction of things that fade?

Award of Excellence for my poem,

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

Man’s Rejuvenation

The garden begins beautifying bloom
As the birds start tweeting harmony’s tune
Waking all nature from its dormant time
Into a rainbow of brightness In June
That destroyed depression as nature’s
Beauty envelopes symphony’s prayers
Lifting soul from morass of stagnation.

Its simple beauty reigns supreme over
All that man turns complex When it’s simple
Pleasures around are enjoyed better
When all is shared with loved ones, whose ample
Support surrounds us in a balm of peace
As contemplation of beauty helps fleece
Negative into positivity.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Best Friend

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

Best Friend

Her shiny mahogany violin
Lays gently under her chin
As she strums lyrics of a magical
Build,  pleasing the listener in a sparkle

Of harmonious sounds transporting
Her into a veiled world, rosy, blessing
Its concordance in a cacophony
Of rhythms rumbling, hurtling freely,

Soaring into the sky, leaving stress
Behind a locked door that’ll impress
Those who wish the reality rather
Then the dreamy world of a conqueror.

She strums her harmonious melody,
Alone, in a forest filled with astoundingly
Cohesive creatures within nature’s
Bounty that she serenades with music’s layers

Of joy filled cries in reply to strumming
Violin notes flung into the breeze, melding
Soundlessly within the whistling
Air that rustles the leaves’ dancing.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Rebuild Her Vision

Rebuild Her Vision

In her mind’s eye, she sees the new,
New city built on the ashes, rubble,
Rubble and destruction of war,
War that took away family,
Family whose lives were taken,
Taken violently in bombs,
Bombs whose yield was astounding,
Astounding even objective observers,
Observers of world’s humanity,
Humanity whose humane compassion,
Compassion never fails to rise,
Rise in younger generations,
Generations whose conscience,
Conscience in battling against oppression,
Oppression of the Indigenous,
Indigenous populations for material,
Material resources that rebuild,
Rebuild what was destroyed,
Destroyed cities become futuristic,
Futuristic, symmetric, organized,
Organized to represent power,
Power of Faith’s survival,
Survival among death’s door,
Door that opens into a brilliant,
Brilliant future, where equality,
Equality, wisdom, harmony,
Harmony of races, understanding,
Understanding that unity,
Unity is forged in steel,
Steel that has a feel,
Feel for needs of families,
Families whose support, love,
Love and ambition is a construct,
Construct of a world of utopian,
Utopian haven on earth’s astounding,
Astounding beauty that enraptures,
Enraptures our imagination into,
Into creating our heavenly vision.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Remorseful Actions

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

Remorseful Actions

As the guilt presses down on my heart,
I look into the sky towards your hut,
Where your gardens prosper,
And delicacies abound, but never shatter

Your serenity that enrobes contrition
With a balm of faith leading to absolution
For actions that might have created
A snow ball of reactions that fenced

Calamities in your midst,  propelling
You into regretful actions causing
Others pain while striving not to fall
Apart while the pressure turns into a ball

Of explosive events
That need you to barter millions of cents
For your soul in penitence
For actions coming out of ignorance.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Rainbow of Rain

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

Rainbow of Rain

Rainbowed love starts
In red hot passions
To orange hearts expanding,
To yellow glow brightening
The green of acceptance, change,
And growth whose prosperity
Turns into liquid blues,
Those of summer skies
Filled with potential of rains
That alter fallow lands
Into plentiful harvests.
The same as love’s abilities
To change others from singles
To a unit that expands
With the colors of rainbows
That are always varied,
Exiting changes that carried
Your worries under two mind
Supporting one another in a find
Filled well of love that carries
Change like loving swaddles
Embraced in four arms of loves.
The journey begins with a meeting,
Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting,
But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating
All your hopes, then, them entwining
Like the purple wisteria, two souls
Becoming one, growing a family that cools
Their stresses, soothes their anger,
As their flow is like the ocean water,
At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls
That end in making up sessions, falls,
Never, for they’re committed
To one another, wedded.

Diploma for my poem: Ramadan Goodbye

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

Ramadan Goodbye

As the last prayers of the night end,
Tears rain down on the ground
Turning into a pond,

A pond filled with sorrow as fasting
Ends, our togetherness stuttering,
Our veneration For HIM unending.

Though the days for repentance
Will return in another year, I hope my lance
Of piety, strength in faith will take a stance

In the forefront of my life
Never leaving my side to be rife
With uncertainty that leads to strife.

Oh ye days of Quranic revelation
Come back swiftly with permission
To stay longer in our hearts as compassion,

Veneration and humbleness stay
Enslaved within our hearts to pray
For your return and never be gray.

Accolade for my poem: Fallen Net

Fallen Net

As twilight lightens into dawn,
Colors slowly seep into the sky and fawn
Over every structure, forest, ocean, mountain,
People fishing to feed their bairn

They throw the net, gracefully,
Casting a shine in the shimmering sky,
A splash as it hits the water,
A slither as it sinks to catch a proper

Marine fare, made ready for market,
With great care, they pull their catch with a picket
That’ll avert great loss of material gain
As their aim is survival in faith without pain

Of depravity of a soul lost
Into succumbing to deviation that cost
Their conscious to weep tears of blood
As it dissipates into the fog without a prod.

So, the simple fishermen score
What they need, send a prayer with a core
Of gratitude for the plentifulness provided
By the sea, faith, and appreciation, never horded,

But revered for the giving hands
Supporting their plight without binding bands.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Time

Time

Nothing lasts forever except time,
Time that rhymes with grime,
Grime that distorts our beauty,
Beauty that’s transient,  never lasts in bevy
Bevy of buzzing bees whose sting
Sting is deadlier than any bombing,
Bombing of others to assert power,
Power that leads to atrocities of murder.
Murder or death will take us,
Us too quickly, for time flies,
Flies away As you stake,
Stake a name in this world,
World that demands your blood,
Blod, sweat, and money,
Money to live honorably, careening,
Careening swiftly in society,
Society that binds your values,
Values you live by to survive,
Survive the war of fleeting life.
