Diploma Certificate for my poem, Pose

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

Pose?

To pose or not to pose?
That’s the question on this day of non-repose.
She stands, elegant,  regal,
Smiling into his chocolaty eyes, fall,
Falling into his soothing pool of love.

The depth of emotions that hiss
And run deeper than any abyss,
This moment in time will never come
Back again, for its novelty’ll dim
But never die in the pyre of time,

It’ll grow and flow into their
Joint lives of adoration as their
Tears of joy and sadness blend
Into sysmic waves that thrashed
Many a couple, but Not them!

Time will try to siphon their
Joint time into darkness, but their care
Will stomp on time’s vain
Attempt to suck out the rain
Turning it into a melodic refrain.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,

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

Wishes

As the countdown to 2025 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!

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Love’s Masks

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

Love’s Masks

Share your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals,
That power your imagination and hails
Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails
You have to choose who needs some derails.

Today, we hide behind our likes,
Our social media personae that drives
Our self-esteem into the grounds
If it’s not up to par with your peers.

Why do we hide?
Is intimacy such a bad ride,
That you need masks to keep all inside?

Or do you soar in flight
Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite
Out of the ball, then turn it into a free for all?

Accolade for my poem: Watering Hole

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

Watering hole

The old Watering Hole
Where gunslingers role
The dice and drink
Never thinking they’d reached the brink

Of their control
When anger isn’t the goal
But alcohol decreases
Self-control and abuses

Take place in every space,
The bar, card table, lace
Covered curtains that blind
The customer who’ll find

That life is a Watering Hole
Where drama, upheaval,
Comedy and entertainment
All coalesce in one place, content

That life keeps changing
With the times, flying
When it’s all fun and crawling
When help is needed for not bawling.

My poem: Google’s Child: AI,is published at Ray Whitaker blog

Thank you, Ray, for including my poem in your blog.

Google’s Child: AI

Mr. & Mrs. Google:”What have you done?”
We’ve had a child: AI.
What does it do?
It copies people’s work without stricture.
What do you mean?
I mean, ask for a Monet,
And it’ll create a copy of his style
And posit it as a new and improved Monet.

….

Analysis, conclusion,  and a proven hypothesis!
How easy is that?
Uhhhhhhhhhh
Fake
Fake
Fake
No originality
No reality
No imagination
No compassion
No humanity
No hope

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

Sacred Light

The bare tree stands alone,
Alone, with its empty branches,
Branches reaching up, up into the sky,
Sky in supplication’s gratitude,
Gratitude that a sliver of light,
Light lights up the road in white,
White snow blanketing the roads,
Roads of life filled with their twists,
Twists, turns, and upheavals,
Upheavals testing your fortitude,
Fortitude in your strength to stand,
Stand alone, facing ice, gales, storms,
Storms that tempt you to give up,
Give up the faithful fight,
Fight in knowing that to survive,
Survive is a sacred right,
Right of passage that’ll bite,
Bite into your faith to self-destruct,
Destruct under social pressure,
Pressure that requires nothing,
Nothing except following your desires,
Desires that lead you astray,
Astray from the path of faith,
Faith lighting your darkest,
Darkest hour with a sparkle,
Sparkle that doesn’t fade.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Feast’s Unity

Feast’s Unity

Crave the jubilation of feasting!
Every religious ceremony that binds
lonely souls into a community
even if they are racially, culturally different,
but, all enemity is set aside when celebrating the
revival of humanity’s compassionate understanding.
arrows from Cupid’s bow hits its
target and transforms aggression
into love, friendship, jubilation,
owning that positivity, propagating it, and
never letting pessimism or negativity
spring into the forefront without a care,

And only those ungenerous with their humanity
forgo gatherings that uplift the soul.

jumping into the fray, with all the
overgrown children’s merriment
Yields a time filled with astounding wonder.

Certificate of Excellence  for my poem: Wish for Peace

Thank you,  administrators,  for the honor and your hard work.  It was also published last spring in Petal Projections magazine issue 8.

Wish for Peace

The fragile beauty of the dandelion
In my hand whose grip on land
Dares you to eradicate its presence in Zion
As it spreads through the wish for peace to lend

A hand to those in need of a blend
Of peace in their days of suffering
Without end.
Wish for peace for them to send

Their children to schools
With filled bellies of fresh food
Sprinkled with life giving water that drools
In honor of a wish for peace that stood

On the doorstep waiting, waiting
Patiently for humanity’s response
To help save those whose beliefs, never straying,
Empowers their wish for peace

For a new generation without
The need to revisit the trauma of today’s
Dire escalations of genocides in a bout
Of cataclysmic fear whose only wish is for peace.
