Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Child Within

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Child Within

The world is in despair,
What a great pair
My dog and I fair
As we jump, hop with flair.

Yes, chaos reigns,
But the soul of the child remains
My best defense as it stains
The world In pains.

So I posture my inner Child
Whose laughter is a great ride,
Whose love has no pride,
Whose enjoyment is never a grind.

Live like that child in simplicity,
Don’t overthink the atrocity,
Don’t stress the depravity,
Do live in harmony.

Pen and paper

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

I’d be writing with pen and paper in order to express my poetry.  However,  I’d need to use a dictionary in order to spell check, which would delay the completed work, as my spelling is terrible,  and I rely heavily on spellchecker. However,  it does have a drawback,  and that it usually uses the most commonly used words, while I might need a similarly spelled word with a completely different meaning: quite vs quiet, calm vs qualm, ect….

I do, however, love to doodle as I write, and that isn’t possible on the computer,  at least I’m not proficient enough to do so! 😉

Plus, without the computer, I would always fall behind on the deadlines to poetry contests, as I have a tendency to leave them to the last minute, and using those applications or websites do have a swift submission,  without delay, except in case of electrical outages!

Unfold

Life has many folds, twists, turns, and abysses,

We try to unfold and straighten the creases,

But it’s a delicate job, even hazardous, as The folds are hidden and need to become clear,

Straight, and easily seen, analyzed, and far

From misunderstandings and misgivings.

Is it a thing to need unfolding?

The simple answer is: ‘Yes, it absolutely needs doing!’

In this world, where there so many possibilities

For problems to unfurl, it is imperative to realize

That clarity in speech and actions aren’t always

Perceived as they are, but rather given a political,

Even social agitprops that have tendencies

To insite people into violent and intolerant behavioral

Activities, that help increase gaslighting’s imposing

Ideologies. They incur great wrath, aggressing

Against others’ rights, stripping them of dignity,

Pride, selfworth, even their humanity.

As humans, we need to untangle our ingrained

Stereotypes by humanizing each other, and accept

The difference the same way we accept

That siblings differ, though they come from

The same set of parents, gene pool, and environment.
