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.

Award of Excellence for my acrostic poem: IDIOSYNCRACY

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

IDIOSYNCRACY

I diotic habits reveal your character
D ive into your idiosyncrasies, unique
I n their ability to convey your thoughts
O ver ideologies, news, politics,
S ystems of economy, integration,
Y ule tidings of compassion, empathy,
N ever ending supply of understanding
C aring for others is our new idiosyncrasy
R evealing our humanity is still
A live and kicking, simple
C are of knowing yourself as human, imperfect
Y et still childish enough to laugh at yourself.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Sky, Soil, GOD

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

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for your joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Also innately aware of your presence’s jubilations,

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming
Our core into being compassionately humane.

Certificate of Excellence for poem:

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

Short

Short; I’ve learned that life is too short,
What are the necessities of such a sport?

Live, live, little by little,  enjoy it all,
Your childhood,  youth, adulthood,  cycled circle

Of flaws that turn into strengths
That raise you up to a pinnacle of breaths

That feel uniquely important for you not to fall.
The abyss below can be a starkly black ball,

Or a bright sunny day filled with fun and play.
Enjoy the rainbows that come after a rainy day.

Those days are infrequent,  transient,
And easily missed if you’re mired in your own dejected

Despair, whose darkness can’t be pierced
By the frivolity, fun, smiles, laughter of  living and dead.

Don’t,  don’t let that despair put you down,
Scare it away with your strength of will!

Accolade for my poem,  Festive City

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

Festive City

Painted roofs
On a cold day, running like hoofs,
Their brilliant shine,
It’s just fine
Surrounded by pine
Covered in blinking lights
Green, red, blue, whites
That twinkle at nights
Giving rise to hope
For a future where you don’t mope,
Fall into depression
Caused by holiday celebration
That cost a liver, kidney,
That you can’t live without the key
Of life, for cheer revokes
Loneliness, sadness that provokes
Moodiness, violent cakes
Falling apart As you built a  life that makes
You proud of your veneer
That never touches ethics that peer
Within, making you stronger
For your life is lighter
As most stress is caused
By gossip’s ear, whose vanity paused
To try and emulate what others had.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem

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

Deafening Silence

The scariest sound is that of a silenced time
In nature, while you’re in the midst
Of a storm, the eye is ‘calm before the storm’


To the strident cacophony of howling winds that feast


Although the event’s transient accoutrements
Leave a world in chaos as it dissipates over land.
The wreckage of homes and possessions aren’t contents

….

Lives scattered into the sands of time as they bust
Through their raucous imprisonment with cheer
And optimism that has no end but in a bright burst.

Let your home be centered around you,
Making it transportable and new, as you
Enjoy its flimsy, distraught center in a cue.
