The strong current twisted and turned,
So much so surely no man dare enter.
However newly inhabited in this devilish stream:
A school of ridged rocks tumbled by.
Among this school, rolled the most honed of them all.
As he rolled he noticed the dulling of his fellow rocks.
they tossed and turned as the river quickened their erosion,
However,
Different from the rest.
This rock was adamant on maintaining his unique edges.
Finally,
After seasons of resistance,
The school graduated to the shore.
Upon arrival the young rock looked to his mates,
To find that they had smoothed their irregularities,
And he was secluded from their congruence.
"Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow" -- AP J Abdul
Poetry in it pure gold medallion well refined is choice
Forced on individuals based on circumstances that paint emotional influence
Where its affluence set out the pale ink a voice
And with accurate battle with the mind troubled cent congruence
To bless thy grace that peel off the time's invoice
Poetry is the view that capture wonderful clash with flashlight
Its lyrics are girls' auto tunes that ease her plight
Of beckoned scenario captured for memory lingers on vital reference
Its referents pour out a layout well planned sketch preference
Poets reflect on its life's tempos when he had alight
Hear ye all, henceforth, Let it be proclaimed,

as The Pentateuch. Leading faiths acclaimed
to be Christian and Jewish drawn from stone.
Claimed author, by and large, flight stareway
to wings and hauls swarthy locked dominion.

Honoring congruence
Heartfelt tranquility
My cousin and I were dismayed
By the kids who were in her third grade
They had no answers to tell
Though they spoke very well
And knew how impressions were made!
They earned an A+ for endurance
For displaying remarkable effluence
They could babble all night
With no fact in sight
Nor any sign of congruence!
Oh, how wise we thought that we were
We could see their minds were a blur!
But now, mid-elections
And selfie confections
We see why they were so sure.
Depression, like the pits and ditches of my heart,
With clear water, like that of blood, does life impart;
Adorning the environs like valued jewels,
Dear lake, how clearly clean cool water in you pools...!
Treasures of art, architecture and ancient tales,
Cultural congruence is hidden in your veils;
My valor, values, and vibrant vivacity,
Draw their vitality from your mortality...!
Within your chilly waters I cheerfully play,
Like an elephant or hippopotamus stay;
Within your womb are ponds, streams, springs and glacial mass,
Serenity, calmness, and composure en-mass...!
I swim, row boat, aqua cycle, and kayaking,
I refresh my bored life with soul-skiing, sailing;
You bring within me optimism, love for nature,
Capable, confident, and love for each creature...!
How I wish to visit countries highest in lakes!
I desire to relish these and forget my aches;
Tracing, transfiguring, and transforming, our drives,
O lake! Perpetually you prosper our lives...!!!

Similar to Noah's, and in an analogous way,
That was the catalyst for the rise of the rainbow.
After the flood, Noah has warranted the decay,
This pledge will be obvious on the display.
Each dream we extol deserves deeming.
Depict a slew of rainbows into your living.
Our chimeras will bedim if we don't believe.
Each one reiterated faith and perspective.
We will be unparted from our everlasting love.
And the congruence warrant will not once shove.
God granted us a rainbow that glittered in the sky.
So that he could corroborate his powerful allay.
In the midst of the most hallowed light.
Though doubt frequently gives way to sight.
And consider living by faith rather than trust
That's what keeps you going and it is a must.
Sobbing may continue throughout the night.
As of yet, delight will return shortly after that.
In all its splendor in the early morning light.
There'd be no affliction if the stain had not spat.

What keeps me going Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer
When people speak of relationships,
So much springs to mind!
What do you think of when you hear this word?
Is it the connections made by being kind?
Perhaps you think of family -
Parents, siblings and such.
Or maybe you imagine a new romance
Where love will grow so much.
Another idea of course
Is that special bond with pets.
You worry for them as you would family
When they have to visit the vets.
A relationship can also be
The connection between two things.
It can be the awe that beauty inspires
And the joy this often brings.
When history seems to repeat itself,
A congruence of circumstances,
The results are related to the choices
We make when we take chances.
So whatever relationships mean to you,
We see them everywhere.
But I'm sure all will agree that the most significant ones
Are the relationships that involve our care.

WRITTEN AS AN ASSEMBLAGE OF WORDS TRIBUTE to AL KAPROW
Ellipse, evolute, vertex and curve,
Humdrum circle or ricochet swerve
Astroids or cusps, arcs or sectors;
What have those got to do with vectors?
Curvature, cone, Cartesian plane…
Oval, deltoid… what’s in a name?
Geoid oscillation, pedal, radial, rose…
What on earth do I know of those?
Hypocycloid, cruciform, Sierpinski carpet…
Inverse tangent or Apollonian gasket?
Snowflake, hypercube, space-time dimension
Pressured, gauged, or under tension?
Trammel of Archimedes, planes, rotations –
Congruence, right angles, equivalence relation;
Conchoid curve, Orthoptic, Lemoine hexagon,
Triangle, star or good old pentagon.
Crescent, rhombus, magatama, square,
Caustic curves, salinon, ying-yang or sphere!
About whichever’s the shape that you talk,
Basically, it’s taking a line for a walk!
Karma walks the many roads
forks at paths of diversion
with signposts trivia directions
She rests at home in herself
multiple voices finding congruence
convenes unravels gathers lose threads
Wholesome gentle nothingness ensues
from inside where streams of consciousness
flow from wetlands and delta to sources and spring
Markers show the way forward
through olive plantations and citrus’s scent
as she licks her lips glows and remains
The kiss of life firmly on her forehead
third eye forming a wondrous triangle
with bright almond eyes and desire
Passionate moments reflect in her fortune
as an amber amulet rises once more and again
when she in-and exhales sweat vapours of love
A myriad of past roundabouts has finally
squared circular transcendent motions
of miraculous moons and one wheel of life
Seeds have been sown and roots have grounded
Anima and Animus are quivering in anticipation
as Karma’s soulmate settles the shivering mountain
Karmus has appeared on the horizon for the feast of
two crescents all in one and one in all forever
when climaxes mount under a star-studded sky

Love Poem contest by Heidi Sands
First Place
Power With Influence
Give a man much power and influence,
And with their character see congruence;
Crusty complex inferior;
Wishing was superior;
Things will become terse as well as tense.
Think Abraham Lincoln said something
similar to this. Today is anniversary of
the Darnell, Arizona Granite Mountain
Hotshots.
The black curls, oh the resemblance to the night
clings to her forehead, distraught,
like the spider's web shambled,
crooked, rubbing the forehead like the harsh waters
rubbing the grey stone, by the riverside.
Polishing it maybe, intriguing,
forlorn tales hit back, yet again
saying the clandestine, monotonous, words,
one by one, the whole nine yards.
Magic, Stealth, vigour,
anonymous all the emotions,
wrapped in the grey blanket
to the body to cover the bitter marks,
The black curls, congruence to the pain,
symmetrical to the thorns,
playing angles, all the way
Oh, these black curls falls the way
it did that day.
Conundrum, play.
The distance between one point is deferred to the spectrum of dancing lilies and apples falling to the ground with bees swarming and dancing around the luscious nectar and grasp onto for dear life in the realm of all that matters and stops the confrontation of one answer to the next.
All that matters in the case of confronting the hive of devilish bees and hornets in the depth of what is designed to all that can be alive...the stance of the dance creates a place of relevance in our hearts and mind. The instructions declare a format of declaration and place point to mark the response of how the direction is sweetened on the side of how one pertains to the dedication to increase the moments of truth.
The troubled soul is dependent upon the service of how one is opt to configure the best from the worst, the majority of elevation can turn all around the moment of how one spends their time during the living years of congruence and to move the structure from the time of time and the dial of the sun turns backwards in the land of turmoil and to continue the best from the rest...
