Award of Appreciation for my poem: Woman Defined

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

Woman Defined

Courage thy name is Woman!
You’ve shown us your resilience
In the face of adversity that can
Drive strong men to their knees in case
Their worries overwhelm their ferocity,
Which is tempered by Her steadfastness
And confidence in Her ability
To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty
That’s never ending in its compassion.

Her armor, mask is that of love.
Her empathy lifts Her up.
Her education is Her weapon, a dove,
White, for its peaceful cup.
She’s endured degradation, oppression,
Slavery and desperation beyond
Caution, She moves into dominion
With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.

Bond of her heart that instigates
The need for freedoms.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem:

May’s Matron

March into view
Trying to review
The occurrences of the year’s cue.

A mom’s rejuvenating love
Pushes you to believe
That tomorrow will relieve
Your anxiety and turn it positive.

Her influence is a font of information,
With wisdom conquering the defamation
Of news, knowledge, and experimentation
That are the backbone of socialization.

As spring springs in May,
Mothers recharge their Ray
Of sunshine that illuminates the Flay
Of your strengths, but with her you’ll Prevail.

A day in a year is not enough
To the importance of her presence that’s tough
To replace, since her nature’s nurturing will laugh
At the presence of any that are demeaning to her kiddo.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Love’s Poetry

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work and mine! Being 12 of 26 poets honored is a great impetuous to write more.

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin

Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws

Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook

Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem: Staying Power

Staying Power

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration
Of words in rhyme and rhythm?
A world of poetic devices, accommodation
Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?

What’s a love story
If not one that has a start,
Climax, and end that’s happy or gory?
Where pink tinted glasses reflect

The author and audience’s
Need to escape life’s duties, stresses
That place tremendous pressures
On couples needing one anothers happiness

Without needing to compromise
Or putting in the hard work required.
‘What’s love?’, in that case?
That’s the staying power of being loved,

Loved for yourself,
Loved for your strengths, weaknesses,
Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf,
As your greatest power shines in smiles

That never dim while facing despair.

Award of Appreciation for my poem

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

Spontaneous Flight

How do you spread your
Wings to let love’s happiness in and pour?
How does peace get a slice
When stress has a price?
How do you keep your purity
Alive when faced with depravity?

They all come easily when faith,
Spirituality have a strong breath
That lightens a load in stealth,
Streaming a warm breeze
Into a leaden heart, a squeeze
Of the slithers of sneaky suppression
Of dark whispers causing depression.

Let the light of love, purity,
Peace and joy spread their security
In a balm of comfort and spontaneity.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Pose

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

Pose?

To pose or not to pose?
That’s the question on this day of non-repose.
She stands, elegant,  regal,
Smiling into his chocolaty eyes, fall,
Falling into his soothing pool of love.

The depth of emotions that hiss
And run deeper than any abyss,
This moment in time will never come
Back again, for its novelty’ll dim
But never die in the pyre of time,

It’ll grow and flow into their
Joint lives of adoration as their
Tears of joy and sadness blend
Into sysmic waves that thrashed
Many a couple, but Not them!

Time will try to siphon their
Joint time into darkness, but their care
Will stomp on time’s vain
Attempt to suck out the rain
Turning it into a melodic refrain.

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

Sacred Light

The bare tree stands alone,
Alone, with its empty branches,
Branches reaching up, up into the sky,
Sky in supplication’s gratitude,
Gratitude that a sliver of light,
Light lights up the road in white,
White snow blanketing the roads,
Roads of life filled with their twists,
Twists, turns, and upheavals,
Upheavals testing your fortitude,
Fortitude in your strength to stand,
Stand alone, facing ice, gales, storms,
Storms that tempt you to give up,
Give up the faithful fight,
Fight in knowing that to survive,
Survive is a sacred right,
Right of passage that’ll bite,
Bite into your faith to self-destruct,
Destruct under social pressure,
Pressure that requires nothing,
Nothing except following your desires,
Desires that lead you astray,
Astray from the path of faith,
Faith lighting your darkest,
Darkest hour with a sparkle,
Sparkle that doesn’t fade.

Accolade for my poem,  Lone Leaf Wonderment

Lone Leaf Wonderment

As a lone yellowed leaf, I remain,
Hanging precariously onto the branch,
Looking onto the ground, where my vain
Friends have all fallen while greenish, now, out of reach,

They lay on the fallow earth
Blanketing it with their dried crunch,
As passerby ignore their presence ignoring the cloth
That beautified nature, as they stomp them in a bunch.

Lonely, alone, my tears fall unnoticed
As I try to mourn all I’ve lost:
Friends whose radiance has died,
Family whose love has extinguished and thrust

Me, alone, in an unforgiving world,
Where what once was is easily forgotten,
While all those empty voices rise in a cold
Empty entourage who’s lost compassion and been

Swamped with the material world,
Living in solitary confinement,
On a schedule that bind
More then prison bars in an accoutrement

To integration in a society, powerless
To make a change in their community
As technology and self-isolation progress
Towards being captivated by superficiality

Of surviving rather than living
In faith, hope, their power and force,
Naturally protect believers in believing
In the existence of hope and communal peace.

Certificate of Outstanding for my poem, Sea’s Sunset

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

Sea’s Sunset

The clouds climb high, like mountains
In the sky, some are smaller and stains
The sky, like a painter, with red, pink, blue,
Orange that coalesce Into a darkened view

Of immeasurable beauty of the setting sun
Burning the sky’s clouds with its breath that’ll run
Over the setting sun with a scenic beauty
Unparalleled by any ‘Man’, for the creator, wisely

Intensifies the pull to nature
So that it increases our faith’s cure
For depression, stress, anxiety
That are alleviated by streaky

Waves that pummel the shore
With a power whose core
Is just three atoms, but their strength
Comes from their unity of breath

That lives for all to enjoy
If only you take the time not to be coy
In appreciation of the majesty that is
All around you, and found within the peaks

Of waves, white foamy appearance,
But feel and taste salty which grace
The sand with an abundance of plentifulness
That eases the pangs of hunger without avarice.
