Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Mom, Habibti

Thank you,  administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  This poem is very close to my heart since it’s about mother’s and our fears.

Mom, Habibti

Mother, moma, mum, mama,
Who are you?
Are you just the giver of life?

Mom, madre, mami, mam, ma,
What would you do to protect your babe?
Legal or nefarious means?

Mother, oumi, mama, Haha, mà,
How do you love equally all your babe?
Do you prefer one over another? Why?

Mam, nanay, habibti, ema, mamma,
How do you empower all your babe?
Do you compare them and demean some?

Mami, mother, mom, love, Ema,
Love me for me!
Never send me away or leave me!

Mum, mother, maman, madre, Ema,
Don’t break my heart to leave,
Don’t break my heart and hate me!

Double Bronze & Certificate of Excellence: Her Gaze



Her head, slightly tilted up, looking
Into his beautiful chocalaty eyes
Swarming with love, passion, striving
To impart his longing to listen to her piano’s

Rendition of an Austrian waltz,
Stiring his passions for her innocence,
Compassion, and adaptability that’s the cause
Of his unfailing support for her patience,

That’s infallible in her haloed
Reverence for their rhythm and harmony
In a life filled with shared experiences, favored
With laughter ringing with a clarity

That resonates within the heart,
Making its flutter call out their names
When you feel their need for your part
Of a hug, kiss, even a game played that aims

To not only fill them with cheer for their
Peers, but also teaches morals
And ethics that help stabilize greater
Community unity that propels

The certainty that although life,
Tech, health fluctuate, our strength
Of belief in one another’s humanity’s care
For its perseverance in the face of adversity, at length

Will never drop its compassion,
Survival when faced with injustice, confusion.
