Accolade for my poem,  Royal Bengal Tiger

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Royal Bengal Tiger

The Royal Bengal tiger lazes
On the tree branch, his spotted coat frizzes
In the heat, while his tail dangles
In time with the grandfather clock, never tangles

As it moves in the air, swatting
Flies, while his eyes revere the butterflies flying,
Their blue wings flapping, unafraid
Of the predator whose paw is laid

Circling over the branch, lazily
Waiting for real prey to materialize fully
Before he engages in a chase
To be what his nature dictates, carnivor, not haste,

Patience is his forte for he waits
Patiently, no excessive movements
To give himself away, until, patience
Is rewarded and prey has no prayer in face

Of such a creature,  elegant,  powerful,
Yet he only hunts to survive, not fun, but full
Of honor, as he doesn’t exterminate friend
Or family for the hunger for power’s a fiend.

Review for my poem, Patient Timeful Warriors

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Thats a Dang! Dear poet. Great circular trains of thought… The warrior as an antagonist alongside time and patience is intriguing, intelligent and strangely obvious and not immediately obvious at the same time… Any one who has served may resonate with this at a much higher level. Strong piece dear poet! 🙏🫡👍😃❤️

By: Zac Warden

Patient, Timeful Warriors

Patient time sidles around knowing,
Knowing that you’ll eventually learn,
Learn that warriors full of brute force,
Force that turns into violent regret,
Regret that eats away your happiness,
Happiness that dissolves as its transient,
Transient time comes and goes, waiting,
Waiting patiently like the intelligent warrior,
Warrior who strategizes using patience,
Patience for the right information and time,
Time that’s right to act not go in unknowing,
Unknowing the dangers, pitfalls sown
By the hands of enemies whose joy,
Joy will be untamable at your fall,
Fall from grace, for you forgot that time
Time and patience have always been chief survivors.

Verses of Soul present my poem: Lonely Bench,  with this certificate

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

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the park’s empty lane
That was filled with pattering feet, clench
Their hands together, riding, running, fain

The need to socialize, expanding
Energy, that seems boundless,
Enjoying the freedom of summer, fleeting,
As those moments become heartless

Dissipating into the waiting emptiness
Of autumn’s fiery colors blessedly
Oblivious that summer’s cheer
Has receded into the sky’s grey, charcoaly

Horizon, never to return the same
But better, if one appreciates their
Significance: nature’s hibernation came
With a time in spring, rejuvenation’s care

That dares to bloom again,
From a seeming emptiness that’ll
Gain depth, strength,  beauty that’ll train
The eye into its wondrous refrain.
