Accolade for my poem,  Button Moulder

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

Button Moulder

Button molds are varied in colors,
Shapes, sizes, materials that alters
The appearance of our clothing
Making us better looking.

As the button moulder statue made
From shoulders, one arm folded, never faded,
Enormous binoculars for gazing
At life’s beauty through peering

From the button’s eye, never veiled
By social screens of a fast-paced
Life filled with the ultra superficial
That tends towards the unforgiveable

That’s filled with violence of blood,
Addiction that lives in your blood,
Actions that turn a child into an orphan,
Stomping on other’s rights to be open,

Open to immorality that needs
To destruction of family unity that breeds
Bonds of compassion, empathy, forgiveness
That our superficiality doesn’t harness

The power of discipline,  strength of will,
Faith and belief in yourself that’ll never fall
For if society embued us with that, then
Rebellion would ensue as a ban for politics with pen.

Accolade for my poem: Demon

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work. Mostly, I’d like to thank you for the uplifting critique of my writing.

Demons, to me, are the ones within that need to be silenced as they they represent negativity.  Having the will to overcome its sussurations is harder than achieving any goal needing a particular skill or talent.

Have fun dissing these demons and throwing them into a locked chest, never able to surface again.

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 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.

One of the participants getting mentioned for my poetry

Below was the picture prompt for the contest: a noble ostrish. Below is an exert of the poem:

The Perfect Politician

Regal, nose up in the air,
Well dressed, in darkened color,
Portraying his evil soul that bore
His progeny and a history of colonial flair,

In which he poses for paintings
Not pictures, wears a ruff
Underlined with piqué lace on neck and cuff,
A velour jacket with extra ruffled sleeves

In a pint to show he has an ancestry
That’s as old as time, while, his beady
Eyes, pointy nose, extra long neck, crow a lively
Tune for a more modern age, where money

…

Is accumulated in his neck,
Will only let him see his long nose, forever
In the throws of making more money to close

The gap between fortunes on the
Elitist echelon of power hungry
Politicians whose small minds carry
Life of thousands in abject poverty who can’t breathe.

A ll encompassing strength to ward of

A varice for aquiring infinite power, killing
P eople over the parapet, a symbol of their

T heir own fears through mayhem’s murder.

Double Gold Certificate

I’m flabbergasted by the honor of this certificate for my poem: Athena, based on a picture prompt.

Athena

Her resplendent beauty gleams
In the raven sky, her star shines
Brighter with her golden armor, protective
Of her vulnerabilities, as she needs to survive.
Its glow is there to strive
To outlast the unbeliever who stirs the hive.

Her might glistens and reverberates
Throughout her vicinity, vindictive as it propels
Instability, division, dissention, and war!
Booming war cries echo their strengths, none bar
Her entry, as she subjugates those weaker
Through fear and magic of her glittery armor.

Those whose insolence is hidden behind their
Camouflage of piety, are two, three faced, where
They keep their dissonance locked,
So their perfidy is unexpected,
And the humbleness nothing but beguiled
Discourse that pleases the open hearted.

Beware of those wearing lambskin,
But are in reality cutthroats whose noggin
Is an empty shell that requires
It to be filled by others to act out wars.

Twilight’s Darkened Light

The night’s fading darkness
Is illuminated by filaments that glimmers
With piercing reddish hues
Into a horizon of fading darkened blues.

With each touch of brilliant light
The scenery is transformed,  bright
As a white pigeon in heightened flight,
Soaring, like Icarus, too near the sun’s slight

Heat that tenderly caresses its feathery
Wings across all living things, bravely
Broaching the new day optimistically,
Knowing that man’s destruction will invariably

Alter the breathtaking beauty of sunrise,
Twisting its vibrancy into shades
Of grey, colorless, and lifeless,
As everything becomes hopeless.

Let each new day be your oath
To be stronger than the sun’s breadth,
As you emulate its depth
Of strength that reigns above all stealth.

Death of a Monarch

Almost a century of life, for her,
Seven decades as a ruler,
Having lived through upheavals,
Political and economic battles,

She was renowned for her strength
As a woman in a man’s earth,
Running the world from her
Ivory tower as a great power.

All she does is well documented
By history, media, family, that’s reported
With an eye for scandal,
And everything that’s amoral.

With her death comes younger blood,
Is it better, I wonder? They flood
Their position with new vision
That takes time, patience, and revision.

What will they bring to the table,
That’s enlightening and favorable
For the people?
