6th place for my poem, The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In a uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows, and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit on wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life’s bliss rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the seasons blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe.

Diploma for my poem,  Her Aromatic Windowseat

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Her Aromatic Windowseat

She looks out of her window
Where the darkness covers the world
Beyond her room filled with pink roses, in low
Vases, littered on her windowsill, not a coward,

She watches the storm brew from within,
Safe in her harbor, a haven of scents adorn
Her with mystique, incomparable to the crow who built-in
Its home outside her window in a flow of corn

Ears reaching up to the sky, pleading,
Pleading for rain to steep the soil with
Life giving water, rejuvenating, healing,
Giving abundance where famine takes away breath

Of life on a scorching summer day.
She watches, lightning flutters in brilliant Light
As thunder booms its might, scaring those in play
With extenuating fright whose plight

Will drown out their fears replacing
Them with a pinhole of hope shining
Through the darkest raven blackness flying
Into the sky with optimism sparking

A deluge of creativity unbound by earthy
Trifles that bog the soul into a rut of endless routine.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Silence’s Curator

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Silence’s Curator

The green sprouts standing like sentinels
Protecting the beauty of nature’s quiet
Harmony that pulls its nutrient
Silently from the earth to nourish the bells

Of flowers dangling haphazardly
On long stems, sending their scent
Into the air attracting bees,  birds, that lent
Their efforts to pollinate nature’s beautifully

Synced ecosystem in a paltry effort
To beautify more fully a world
Needing its slow pace to reflect, to write a word
On the journey of life’s ups, downs, twist

That have you spinning in place
Like a top without a head ruling
Its grace with patience of flowing
Oceans whose quiet but all elegance.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Sunset Shoreline

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sunset Shoreline

Many warm, sunny days live
Live, happily in my memory bright,
Bright In the caressing rays of sunset,
Sunset as I ran with my GSD along,
Along the shoreline playing tag,
Tag each other and wrestle,
Wrestle in the wet sand,
Sand whose tiny molecules hide,
Hide everywhere in discomfort,  memory,
Memory of laughs, games,
Games that keep me on my toes,
Toes that leave footprints,
Footprints in the sand , erased,
Erased with the waves kissing,
Kissing the sand gently cradling,
Cradling its billions of grains,
Grains of sand shining in the dying,
Dying light as memory turns dark,
Dark with the night filled with lustrous,
Lustrous lucent quality,  wondrous,
Wondrous to gaze at its resplendent,
Resplendent glory that lives like a star,
Star in your memory bank, always sublime.

Diploma for my poem, Therapeutic

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Therapeutic

The seascape, verdant in color,
Coalesces green and blue hues in favor
Of reds, purples, and yellows of sunsets, brighter.

The water flows in cadence with my heart,
A beat that travels within the water’s part.
I fling myself within it, swimming at my leisure; start.

Enjoying the feel of the silky water
As it envelopes my body with heat, that’s better
Than being alone as I sweep away tears: left for later.

They would stain my paper and ink,
Telling me it was time for a break
From life’s realities that weigh me to the brink.

At the sea, the smells, painted sky,
The sounds of crashing waves hitting the shore by
The second are therapy for a broken soul to fly.

Accolade for my poem, Addiction

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

Addiction

I’m  an addict
And I know it!

I revere two of the three Cs:
Coffee,  candy,  and cigarettes.

I love my coffee alone with my contemplation
Of life, likes, posts, news, like a great commotion,

Flitting from one to the next trying to see
What’s best before I rest to be free.

Posts galore and replies of mine
Make my day, as the taste of Coffee

Feels like a sinful pleasure.
With my dark drink, I bite into chocolate,

And drift into a coma at heaven’s gate.
I savor the sweetness along the strength

Of body of the coffee and its bitterness.

Life with the morning rituals
Cake, candy, chocolate, coffee and sweets

Is like life without a hero like Ferrero,
Or Cadbury, Mars, KitKat,  and Aero!

Raising the bar in a day filled
With noise, poised to litter the mind

With fear, worry, and being drear!
So my habitual start is set in stone:

Coffee, contemplation, quiet that have
A lead to social media, news, where I refuse

To succumb to its dadarkness
That needs to twist your morning addictions

Into a depressive, foggy darkness.
Let your coffee’s wisdom fill
Your empty cup with hope that will

Reject solidifying into despair,
But reaches in your depths to repair.

Award of Appreciation for my poem: Meditation or Prayer

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

Meditation or Prayer

There seems to be a misunderstanding
On the similarities and differences
Between prayer and meditating.

They both require absolute focus,
Whether it be breathing or reciting
A prayer. Concentration is rigorous.

As you meditate, you listen to calm
Music, breathe, and exhale making
A reverberating sound that’s a balm,

On your frayed nerves, that need
You to pause, listen to your body and soul
As you expell all negativity in a languid

And unhurried fashion that releases
Your pent-up stress, relieving the pressure
That accumulates before meditions.

As for prayer, your focus is stronger,
As one needs to remember precise
Wording that are varied iterations

Of verses, hymns, or paragraphs
That stress the existence of GOD,
His infinite power, creator, and blessings

HE’s bestowed upon humanity
That they’re gratified for and connect
With HIM through HIS words that unfailingly

Build a serene halcyon of peace
That centers in your heart
And spreads into mind, limbs, and your essence.

As you repeat the words,
The vibrations from your pronunciations
Create a divine calm that reduces stresses.

Achieve your peace your way, pray, meditate!

Honored to be a part of this group, Deemflum Falls

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

Deemflum Falls

In the icy winter frost, the visit
To Niagara Falls is a balm on a troubled
Soul whose daily anxieties transform into mist
That continually rise above the falls, unmoved
By the chaotic madness of a world
Filled with death, murder, violence,
And destruction that require you to hold
Onto your sanity by turning to the deemflum face

Of letting your worries evaporate,
Like the misty fog, into skies so blue,
They pierce into a heart rarely in sync with fate
As the cacophony of splashing sheets of true

Blue raise your spirit into a haven
Of quietude balanced by the icy
Crunch of frozen shelves shedding cotton
Balls through the air like rainy

Pellets that strike a balance
Between the reality and what’s imaginary.
