Award of Excellence for my poem, Jeweled Darkness

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Jeweled Darkness

Good and evil struggle to outshine
One another, while evil seems
To be winning as it destroys families,
Creates dissertation, addictions that fine

The unity of community for egotism
Reigns superior in darkness
While light’s haven needs fullness
Of discipline imposes on catechism

To succeed at goals that engender
Hope, laughter, lightness of soul
For those with compassionate tool
Of love with oppress evil’s darker,

Fear that’s entrenched in subconscious
Culture that reminds one of their lower
Status in order to stay as the controller
While the victim falls if not for the courageous.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Wishing for Death

Wishing for Death

As you age, wisdom flits in moments,
Unexpected as they happen quietly,
Without fanfare, they turn disappointments,
Successes into an arduous world where honesty

Equality, and values of empathy
Have flown the coop and landed on depravity,
Turning goodness to a selfish policy
That rots humanity from within, And honestly

Watching the evaporating humanity
Drive a sword into our hope for the future
Of society that’s sold its soul carelessly
To the highest bidder for avarice is a prayer

That never lets up, while the joy
Of Community’s standing together
Has rusted shut the chains of hope in a ploy
To resuscitate ethics’ splendor.

This disillusionment makes me wish
For death earlier so as not To watch
Decadence become their sole purpose, a brush
And it’s a contagion that sucks the soul into a hatch.

Accolade for my poem: Clipity-Clop

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

Clipity- Clop

Itty bitty feet run around
In a clamor of clip-clops
That resonate in echoes that abound
In a round of clapping shrieking pops

That reverberate with laughter
That lightens the heart of burdens
And a heaviness that cower
When faced with the merry melody of laughter.

Let your Itty bitty feet lead,
Lead you into mischief and solve
Your way out of problems that feed
Your will to be cheery when faced by laws above

Of society that set limitations, in isolation,
For some, while others run amuck.
Let your glee flee the deadened quiet of conventions
By proving your worth with mirth that gets you unstuck.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: REJECT

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

REJECT


Acrostic

R ejected again! For what gain?
E mpathy’s nonexistent as you wade,
J ump through hoops to integrate, but
E very action is met in rejection of
C arefully spoken words, so as not
T o hurt others. Alas! The effects are traumatizing.

Poems, including mine, chosen for accolades, by Invisible Poets for the 📸 prompt

Vintage Champion

Breakfast is the most important meal,
Meal, so, yes, daily coffee is a must,
Must have my routine lined up into a dot,
Dot of care and reverence for health,
Health vital to survival as coffee,
Coffee is my best friend to lend,
Lend a hand in preparing a champion’s,
Champion’s nutrients in a vintage,
Vintage kitchen, where Lucy’s prancing,
Prancing elegantly from station to,
Station to gather all ingredients for,
For a nutritious meal, giving you fuel,
Fuel to attain success in your day,
Day of conflict, within and without,
Without flaying under the pressure,
Pressure of navigating social endeavors,
Endeavors that need a will of steel,
Steel, like your strength, unlimited,
Unlimited by the dire press of a lack,
Lack of self-confidence that brings,
Brings you down into the depths,
Depths of the darkened abyss, a cave,
Cave of knotted bliss of doubt.

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.
