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.

Wintery Hope


A new chapter begins in a flurry
Of white flowy snow, soft as wool, pearly
Shine giving us fleeting hope that’ll soar
In flight forever fighting the depressor
For dominion over the fealty for life
That’ll keep our flighty hearts young with fire.

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

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.
