Accolade for my poem,  Children’s Hunger

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

Children’s Hunger

Famine, hunger in such young eyes
Makes your heart flutter and cries
Out for the injustice of their plight
Where food is scarce and working is a fight

Among brothers, sisters, kin to survive,
Survive with enough only to strive
The next day, another forage, another clash,
To sustain an entire family in a brush

….

Children growing old before their time in fine

Slithers of hope that shine
Through black clouds of hopeless brine,
Brine of depression’s hold that flogs
The will to survive another empty stomach that bogs

Their thinking process to when’s

…..

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: RAINDROPS

RAINDROPS

Acrostic

R eveling in November rain, running, skipping
A way, trying to outrun the wet tears of pain.
I nvite a friend to reduce loneliness that
N ever ends with the sky filled with grey.
D elve into your tears of pain,
R equest an extension to get rid of the agony and
O utmaneuver its hold by
P ressing the raindrop on your face, feelings
S welling your heart in absolute sincerity.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: REJECT

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

REJECT


Acrostic

R ejected again! For what gain?
E mpathy’s nonexistent as you wade,
J ump through hoops to integrate, but
E very action is met in rejection of
C arefully spoken words, so as not
T o hurt others. Alas! The effects are traumatizing.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Fiery Fall

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

Fiery Fall

Colors of fiery fall feed your
Feelings of fierce freedom
Flowing with the blowing,
Air around all aflurry,
In its need to breathe in
The sweetest air keeping you alive.

I let the fleeting breeze
Run up my sleeve, it
Sneaks up my armpit,
As easily as you please,
Surges through me, lifting,
Roaming around, finding pause
To circle, freely, around my breast,
Neck, and head. Stealth is best,
As I fly where the wind will rest.

As the sweeping air embraces
Me with its wonders,
I steal a peek, and my heart stutters,
At the fire leaping from the leaves,
Whose colors turn from yellow,
Burnished greens, rust, blood red,
Burgundy, all flit around my head
Leaping from tree top
To tree top, to bush, to flower,
To weed, to soil, nourishing
All with its slow hover
That steals your breath in awe
At the splendor of the fleeting fall critter.

Certificate of Apreciation for poem: Ordinary Man

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

Ordinary Man

Famous fallen heroes are fighters,
Soldiers,  warriors who’ve fought
For home, community, country and brought
Pride into hearts of family and trooper,

But the unsung heroes are those
Who fight without the need for accolades
That instill an extrinsic need that hides
Their true purpose: fame that’s close

To worship, while the ordinary man
…

…


Laws created to keep the world Civilizing
And lauding humanity’s restraint put in a guild

Cage, like an exotic animal, seen
But never heard, in a prison where bars
Isolate him, with his PTSD, like any warriors,
Who’ve delt in monstrous murder, that’s keen.

Review of my poem: A Year of Death

I’m flabbergasted by such depth of understanding of my work and the fact that Ida, the reviewer, goes on to point out her favorite verses and strengths of my poem just makes me happy that my writing is reaching my target audience.  I’m always happy to have my work analyzed, as it shows the amount of work and thought that goes into each poem. I will post the poem soon.

The poem is a reflection on the 1 year war on G@z@, some events that I couldn’t forget because they show the needless death of innocent children.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: FUTURE double acrostic

FUTURE
Double acrostic

Formal learning features a positive futurE
Until you realize that the old tale, propeR
Turned your opinion forever. The cost is sUrrender,
Undeserving of a prosperous encounter, sTarting
Relatively early, when you awaken to the misUndersding
Eternally imposing its indoctrination while the Future is about open-mindedness.

Award of Appreciation for my poem: Revolution of Change

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade. Your hard work is highly appreciated.

Revolution of Change

Colonialism’s Ideology is based on change,
Change the ‘other’ because they’re different,
Different in language, culture, morals, beliefs,
Beliefs that spark imaginations’ Revolution,
Revolution that asserts the need to exist,
Exist in autonomy, exist freely, exist happily,
Happily maturing into adulthood,
Adulthood knowing that learning is constant,
… …


Please the dominant who seems to succeed,
Succeed in seeping into your mind,
Mind, and replacing its values with rot,
Rot that decays social values, Families,
Families are broken asunder, and the backbone
Backbone of society falls into rubble.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem: Humanitarian Aid

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade.  Your work is highly appreciated.

Humanitarian Aid

How’s philanthropy helping the down-trodden?
Charities galore, making money, beholden
To the filthy rich, who part cautiously,
With their material goods, heavenly,

Is their allocation as they help the needy,
Whose prayers for the givers are done loudly
In order for all to hear of their philanthropic
Activities, that are only a drop in the oceanic

Depths of need and devastation that exists
In a world where humanity’s enslaved and persists
In demanding accolades for what should be
An ethical and humane gesture to help people

In need of a helping hand here and there,
Preferably, a job that’ll give enough to prepare
For the task of supporting their family
In a bid to never fall under the miserly

Capitalist whose only thought
Is to where he can squeeze, what was taught,
The best buck at the expense of those
Who need it most, but will give it without pause

As their pride in their abilities
Shines in the eyes of families.
