Certificate of Excellence,  5th place for my poem: Wishes

Wishes

As the countdown to 2024 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2025 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.

I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish,  I wish…

Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective,  while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!

Accolade for my poem,  Fall Sunset

Fall Sunset


The flaming sun burnishes the sky
With reds and oranges
Spilling over tree tops
Like  a flame of life; let go and Fly!

Fly like the falling leaf strewn
Into an adventure to adorn
The grounds with its fragility
Rejuvenation and transiency.

As I walk in the fall streets
Littered with crunchy leaves,
Their stories resound in steps
As their strength comes back in springs

Relating of their journey
Into the soil, hibernating as a key
To Invigorate the ground with nutrients
That’ll help rekindle their growth into beauties.

New year, new Certificate of Appreciation, for my acrostic poem: SECULARISM

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work you helped start my year on the right footing!

SECULARISM

Severing the connection between religion’s
Endavor to dictate the rules for society has
Cut believers from implementing parts of their
Undeniable ties to GOD, as within them there’s a
Lawful balance between social, self, career,
And world that defines rights of each on a
Reality that is holistic and all encompassing,
Intensifying the need to think beyond the
Self, its needs, and elevate the needs of the
Many through rules that satisfy the many.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Birth of Jesus

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

Birth of Jesus

Mary had her contractions,
Under the palm tree’s shade
Where she wished for death’s havens
To take away her struggles.
She hears a voice, deep, as though
Coming from beneath
Telling her not to worry, her breath
Will give birth
To a prophet, Issa, Jesus,
Whose conception, miraculous,
Was thought adulterous,
But, he, Issa, spoke
A suckling babe,
Another miracle,
Telling believers to believe
In GOD and His word,
Bible, Quoran, Tora, to change the world
Into one that’s compassionate,
Forgiving, loving, giving, never late
In listening, understanding that fate
Is for the living to ensure
That it’s done through His
Teachings, forsaking sins
That blacken the soul, hearts
That need light to shine bright.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, international writer day

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

International Writer’s Day
Acrostic

Internet has facilitated global connections
Never stop the growth of  wrIters
That rend their hearts as    theIr words flow
Empowering the weak to
Remember their worth
Never succumbing to oppression’s
Timely propagation that    cleAves
Intimate family                   meMbers into
Open enemity, clearly ‘Dividing & Conquering’
Needlessly aggressive, destructive,
Avid in mercilessly taking resources And
Leaving nothing to the Indigenous peoples.

Write, revel, rebel, roast, rumble the gruesome
Reality of a world built on Materialism
Instead of unity of humanity       peeP
That lends compassion and     succOr that
Eventually works together against thE oppressor
Ruining the ecology,                 separaTing family,
Solidifying Darwin’s rules of supremacy

Dealing in strength that overpowers others
Amid illegal, inhumane practices that have
Yet to be punished.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: SANTA CLAUS, acrostic

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

SANTA CLAUS

Sunny Santa smiling funny
Another year of giving out honey
None really care about reality
To them you’re a balm of forgiveness
And forgetting troubles

Completely in
Love with compassion, empathy,
Altruism, knowing that sharing
Unfurls your beauty tenfold
Surrounding you with its peace.

Advocate of Peace

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

Peace’s Breath

Round, round goes the world
In a merry-go-round filled
With laughter, life, violence,
Death in a grim cycle needing peace.

Peace for the young whose
Disrupted childhoods froze
With wars’ colonizing program
To alter countries’ cultures for a flame

Feasting on disintegration of families,
Cultures, languages, civilizations whose priorities
Are fostering longevity by strengthening
Community’s peaceful bonds, wishing,

Wishing for the propagation of unity
Against an army of aggression, violently
Expanding its reach into disharmony
Among land, people, conquerors, passionately

Striving to compensate murder
Rather than an orchestration that’ll ponder
The need to revitalize a willful strength
Embued with peace’s powerful breath.

Accolade for my poem, Dreary Blues

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

Dreary Blues

Melancholy’s song echoes in my heart,
It stutters to a rhythm of a dying heart
Drumming slowly in the embrace
Of loss as it envelopes me at a pace
Slower than the most romantic dance,

As the blues trumpets its slow
Flow of a soulful beat, an emotional blow
Of the harmonica’s solo swing
Creates a canvas of loss in a painting
Whose sole focus is melancholy panting

A cycle of notes, whispering their
Stormy lyrics to connect to a layer
Of depth incomparable to any before,
As it serenades your bleeding core
To expunge your melancholy as a bore

Fully comprehending that you
Can’t let the sore of the echoed blue
Make you fall when your strength has
Been proven to be warrior like and as
I knew all along, living for his death in a low bass

That heralds putting it in its sepulcher,
Locking it and throwing away the key, as per
Commands of the living to celebrate in cheer
As loss is but another gain in sheer
Ability to adapt and overcome the drear.
