4th place for my poem, ode to Josephine Gomez

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.  A tribute to a multitalented woman.

Josephine Gomez

A Tsunami like no other has swept
Civilization’s imprint on land in waves that crept
At impossible heights, pounding
Into cities, ravaging

All within its reach, a name,
Gomez, Josephine stands like a flame
For truth, honesty, equality never
Letting criticism stall her voice fly forever

Into the minds of those whose
Open minds let it seep in, smolder as trends.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Fear of Judgement

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Fear of Judgement

I’ve written you so many letters,
Letters that have gathered dust,
Dust in their crammed drawer,
Drawer that holds my secrets, a protector,
Protector against prying eyes,
Eyes whose judgements is impolite,
Impolite, demeaning comments,
Comments that devastate one’s self- esteem,
Esteem you wish to share,
Share its fruitful bliss, yet,
Yet, you fear a negative reaction,
Reaction that leaves you bare,
Bare to vulnerability of being offensive,
Offensive by stating the truth,
Truth that breaks Hearts,
Hearts that need protection,
Protection from those nearest who,
Who with a word demolish what you’ve,
You’ve build with a measly word.

Certificate Award for my acrostic poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

COURAGE

Courage is defined by the press vest that
Outlived its owners, journalists speaking
Under extenuating circumstances of flying bombs
Retreating into cover, returning, knowing the danger
Amputating their fears with each Blast of their reports
Governing the truth that has been in a abyss
Encouraged to see the light with their COURAGE.
