Tangible – Poetry for Change

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Hidden Garden

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Hidden Garden

‘In the garden where secrets grow,
Colors dance in a vibrant show’
As secrets grow in each blossom
Where rainbowed hues bloom

In varieties that astound the eye
Hidden from the sight of those who fly
By seeing only tangible beauty, while
This garden can only be perceived with the guile

Of childhood’s ingenuity that discerns
Patterns unseen by those whose senses
Have dulled with time. So, the child finds
The key that opens a doorway to gardens

Of Eden where the flytrap behaves
Like a pet, while the Cobra Lily heaves
Bubbles filled with rainbows that strive
To seep into the world with endless hope to give

The Death Camasa flair of colored scents
Dazzle the olfactory glands in a bid to circumventing
Its natural toxicity, for the child only sees beauty
While adults fear the unknown blindly.

First Place for a collaborative poem,

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work. Justice Kingsley, it was great working with you.

Building Bridges of Hope

Dusty roads and crowded streets,
Echo dreams with weary beats.
Hands once torn by toil and pain,
Now reach across the loss and strain.

Through power cuts and skies of grey,
Hope still finds a way to stay.
A hawker’s smile, a neighbor’s cheer,
Soft whispers drown the weight of fear.

No bridge too weak, no dream too small,
Together, we can rise from all.
With grit and love, we pave the way,
For brighter nights and fairer days.

Building a physical bridge
Is easy while bridging Stereotypes
Requires eons of activism in an age
Where using social media as capes

For their unruly behaviors
Spreading hate instead of compassion,
Understanding that colors
Your actions into the starvation

Of the soul’s need to integrate
As society breaks those bonds
In a bid to better control the story of hate,
To the aim of breaking bonds that holds.
