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 flutter 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.

My poem, Byzantium Gardens is published in Stencils Magazine

I’m honored to have been a participant and a published poem with this magazine.  Enjoy your reading.

Byzantium’s Garden

As I look upon the changing season,
The variety of colors from umber’s rich
Brown, fertile soil, going into hiatus for reason
Of the cold, cooling the ground, coloring a stitch
Of amber, yellow, gold, yellowish green,
All turning into nutrients for a fallow lean

Land in need of Amaranth to renew
Its vigor to produce a wonderland
After hibernation in winter, a review
Of the upcoming Byzantium garland
Of a garden, waiting, waiting patiently
For the right circumstance to grow wildly

In a rush to present faery
Flowers, a rainbow of colored plants,
Heliotrope, lilies, roses, carnations, covertly
Awaiting the cooling spring springing, like cats,

Into view grabbing your attention
By tuning the scene into an idyllic
Creation, where reverence to beautification

Is necessary for the purification
Of a heart filled with desperation

To be awakened into the translucence
Of a world enveloped in nacre opulence.

An opulence filled with Faith’s gratification.

Certificate of Distinction for poems about Valentine

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  The prompts were about cultural symbols of love given daily for 1 week. Below is 1 of those:

I PROMISE
Acrostic

I’m hardwired to nurture,

Promising to love you in sickness, health, and
Respect who you are without changing
Out your ethics, character, that
Melts my heart as your soft compassion
Internalized in our love, never to
Separate, except when it overflows to
Empower our kids in their lives.
