Review for my double acrostic poem, BELLY LAUGHS POP

Thank you both for your critique. Your support is highly appreciated.

BELLY LAUGHS POP
(Double Accrostic)

Bellow, bleat, blather, blow, bloB,
Every laugh’s absurdity is in somE
Lanky’s lair making him squirm and waiL
Laughing while his belly will lolL …
Yelling, chortling, snickers all gigglY.

Lively tunes rhythmically lulL
As you take a breath and rise, A
Universal communication in perdU
Glorying in its transience that belonG
Here to help you revere each laugH
Simply to make you feel younger, and haS

Princely returns, for you to droP
Over reality into a world where chortling’s toO
Powerful to be beat by a slumP.

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.

3rd Place Diploma Certificate for my poem,

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

Time

Nothing lasts forever except time,
Time that rhymes with grime,
Grime that distorts our beauty,
Beauty that’s transient,  never lasts in a bevy
Bevy of buzzing bees whose sting
Sting is deadlier than any bombing,
Bombing of others to assert power,
Power that leads to atrocities of murder.
Murder or death will take us,
Us too quickly, for time flies,
Flies away As you stake,
Stake a name in this world,
World that demands your poemagranite blood,
Blod, sweat, and money,
Money to live honorably, careening,
Careening swiftly in society,
Society that binds your values,
Values you live by to survive,
Survive the war of fleeting life.
Life that makes You dependent
Dependent on others, loss of youthful,
Youthful vigor as you become a shadow,
Shadow of who you were, dynamic,
Dynamic with every step now shadowed
Shadowed by limitations of time,
Time whose shadow is darker
Darker than life’s cheer,
Cheer that demands optimism for
For a life lived in light against shadow of time.

Award of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you, Krishna Walikar,  for the honor and your hard work.

Problems’ Peace

Problems, Problems galore gyrating
To a beat only they perceive, thumping
Blood into vessels that can’t cope with ease
As anxiety and worry are a great tease.

Running is a breeze as playing
The ostrich is quite frankly abetting
The delay of facing what you fear,
The problem that has you sleepless, but you revere

Your lack of confrontation that hurts,
You think it would be too harsh and hurts
Others, in reality, the pain is transient
When the logical mind realizes its penchant

For hiding from problems only
Delays the enviable explosion that rarely
Comes without detrimental effects
That affect the resolution of the pests,

That carry within them the ability
To destroy from within peace’s fragility.

Cycle of Time, Silver Certificate of excellence

Cycle of Time

Sands of time start with a babe’s
Conception of sperm and ovules,
Its development takes time;
Birth is a necessary hardship for the crime
Of having a babe to nurture and instill
Ethics, beliefs that take root
And can’t be uprooted by a boot.
Into adulthood, it grows and will fill

The shoes that were too large,
But now, too tight as it’s surpassed its cage,
Soared to become a leader, humane
In treatment of others and transcend the bane
Of chaotic filled desires that blinds
Your progress. In time, you’ll regress
Into infancy’s needs while powerless to halt the demise
Of what you’ve forged, ending up loose sands.
