Certificate of Excellence for my poem, What If?

What an honor!

What If …

What if war was a warm wreathe
Filled with colors that please?

What if snow’s icy feel was velvety
Warm and inspires healing coldly?

What if humanity hummed a hymn
Filled with hope, harmony haunting grim?

What if there is only acceptance,
Understanding, friendship, peace?

What if your entourage were supportive
And fulfilled its quotient of depression’s curative?

What if the sky and seas became
One, melding colors, baking but grim?

What if the mountains and valleys
Came together in a crash of ash and clays?

What if the living and dead walk
The earth together,  what will they about talk?

What if you’re born an adult, regress
Into babyhood, then die as a baby’s bless?

What if black were white, and white
Were black, how would dichotomy be a plight?

What if time leapt back to lack technology,
Would humanity still have posterity?

Triple Diamond Certificate for my poem,  Lone Figure

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Lone Figure

He lives on the bench
He sleeps with head bowed
Twisted into resting, posed
Like the McDonald’s statue looking like a branch

Off the bench he’s resting on,
He wears his home in pockets filled
With knickknacks of a life felled
By taking a wrong turn in life’s ton

Of deviating trajectories leading
To his arm cushioning his head
On the top slat that keeps him upright, bend
Head and palm in his pocket keeping

It warm and protecting what little
He has. His body bent, his feet
Encased in boots, warm in winter, heat
Sweaty in summer, but protects, coddle

His feet from nature’s swaying
Changes covered, temporarily
As he drifts into faulty memory
Logged in regret, a cloack thicker than the reigning

Stutter of his heart, as it beats
A lonely drum, a cacophony Of sound
Discordant with the beauty around
Budding greens and life streaming in cleats.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Death’s Light

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Beautiful mirroring poem, Malak, contrasting darkness and light like matter/antimatter images. Each stanza swells, expands and then contracts, like a realization of an important truth, an insight. The first is a powerful trip through the shadows of death, the dominion of the devil and the damned. The second stanza is a heavenly reprieve, a victory over destroying deviltry. Creatiing these two realms, your images are fantastic, original and elegantly presented. Excellent, dramatic poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Death’s Light

Dark,
Razor sharp,
Claws of nails torn,
Horns of hell adorn
The souls of evils that step
Into the obscure, winding well to help
Those damned souls to reach
The pinprick of light breach
The diabolic breath, laugh,
Full of a pestilent cuff,
Shadowy death,
Lingering,
Stealing
Life
Turned
To death.
Dark.

Light,
Souls so bright,
Cleave the way to flight.
Soar in a cyclone’s might,
Into a haven of promised delight.
Tell your tale in whispers fiery
In their warmth and stealthy
In their fight against deviltry,
Whose hold is sturdy
But crumbles
When faced
With
Light.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Wondrous Day

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab One day my friend, one day we may finally be all we wish we were… just waiting for the ‘slower’ homo sapiens to catch up my friend…. Excellent poem 🫡🙏👏👏😃👍❤️

By Zac Warden

Wondrous  Day

What a wondrous day!
The snow is falling, piled into rifts,
The ice on the ground crunches,
The wind blows wondrous tunes.

What a wondrous day!
The scorching sun heats my soul
With hope, optimism, a fire that’ll roll
Through me empowering my goal
To stay the wondrous course of life.

What a wondrous day!
I’m alive while others are dead,
Kin, friends, neighbors,  all fled
From the the destruction that bled
Blood into a wondrous river of red.

What a wondrous day!
Injustice, racism, categories are ways
The elite divide society in plays
That promote heinously wondrous frays.

What a wondrous day!
A day for celebration of strength,
Belief, unity, community solidarity taking a breath
Away from stress and languishing in the breadth
Of humanity’s wondrous compassion that’s not death.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: My Love

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Holiday Tidings

While the weather out is jolly,

The snowy ice is frothy

My laté is warm and fluffy

With a heart made with three bubbly.

I hold its warmth knowing

That I have three babies, loving,

Waiting to shower me with it by hugging,

While my hubby waits his turn, pacing.

So I happily snuggle in my warmest

Clothes, harvesting their love in a jest.

There’s no rest

For those I love best.

Merry Christmas 🎅 and Happy New Year to all!
