by me kyle walker caycay son for fun not contest
Yosemite Sam
always stumbled upon a jam.
Each time he would yell ' tarnation.'
Altercations most have caused elation.
Baby's first breath
Requires a regulated inhalation of air
Expelled through exhalation
Allowing life to begin.
This is usually followed by
Hearing baby's loud cry
Letting relieved parents to
Express their delighted excitement.
Signified by wide satisfied smiles
Sometimes this elation leaves them breathless.
This type of poem is called a tricube
3 syllables each line, 3 lines per stanza and 3 stanzas
Fountain
a fountain
in the street
water flows
children splash
play all day
mothers watch
with utmost
elation
life is fun
Such a joy to watch the DNC this week
Ebullience and elation reaching their peak
When Kamala appeared to the release of balloons
A new dance craze invented ~ ‘The Social Media Swoon’
The human mind sorts and stores information,
ethereal thoughts, emotions, and desires.
Our conscience fuels love, fear, and frustration;
we're sentient beings, aware that life expires.
And feeling feelings from grief to elation;
we glean the moral fiber our soul requires.
And the internal banter twits heart and self,
inspires dreams that define how one views oneself.
In the heart of joyous jubilation's trance,
Where mirth and laughter sweetly dance.
A symphony of cheers, a lively song,
Celebrate the moments, all night long.
Balloons that burst with vibrant glee,
A kaleidoscope of life, for all to see.
In every corner, the colors are bright,
Igniting the spirit, a festive light.
With confetti swirling, a glittering storm,
A celebration, a unique artform.
Champagne whispers in crystal flutes,
Toasting to life in jubilant pursuits.
Cakes adorned in sugary delight,
Each bite a memory, pure and bright.
Candles flicker, a flame's embrace,
Marking time in this joyous space.
Friends and family, hand in hand,
United in a jubilant band.
Dancing under stars, a rhythmic sway,
A celebration of life, in night or day.
So let the trumpets sound, let laughter chime,
In this grand, rhythmic celebration rhyme.
For in these moments, pure elation,
We find the magic of life's jubilation.
Enthusiastic because all my dreams, hopes, needs – everything I’ve ever imagined could be… is now reality
May the miracles keep coming
(May you find your true path and elation)

Life is challenging
For millions of us
Some days we wonder
If we're going to make it through
But there's this miracle
That happens for each soul
When the sun rises again
Every single morning
Even when we feel
We have zero control
We can remain optimistic
We can focus on faith and hope
So, take it one moment at a time
Take it second by second
You might feel overwhelmed
But in each experience is a blessing
As you work through the confusion
As you conquer every new obstacle
The insurmountable is overcome
Your self-confidence keeps growing
And this little flame of hope
This little light of joy
This spark of inspiration
Creates a synergy and awe
Your soul feels calmer and stronger
Your well-being is restored
You're empowered to be your best self
And you know you're ready for more
You deserve so much love and happiness
You deserve to feel that life is great
May the miracles keep coming
May you find your true path and elation

I
look up.
My
eyes squint
in the bright
glare of
the
sun's rays,
and I feel
pure elation
as I watch
my kite
soar.
Sadness
dissipates,
for now
I
am set
free.

Please take no decision
When you are in confusion
Confusion spoils solution
Ending possible revolution
When mind is not clear
Just calmly sit my dear
Ignore if tears appear
Then salvation will near
When thinking is perfect
Your soul, it will protect
Your mind must correct
Defect, giving sound effect
Always positively proceed
In case you sow hope-seed
You will derive what you need
Peace will grow in top-seed
If you are always hopeful
And contentment is full
Your presence is useful
As your life is purposeful.
Nothing compares to magnificent September
Breathless sun raining down dreams, teasing
Silently caressing each aspiration, so pleasing
Vibrant hues of elation we’ll always remember

Show sincerity in the job you do,
Know how to do the job properly,
Slow, but steady must happen,
Grow by using sheer hard-work
Learn the trade by using care,
Earn every Rupee justifiably,
Turn every stone to achieve,
Burn like the Sun while working
Feel honored by the job,
Kneel before doing duty,
Deal in the wisest way,
Steel-like will be had
Sweat out to succeed,
Get a passion to work,
Outlet is a tough job,
Fret and fume never
Policy of sincerity mst be used,
Courtesy to all must be shown,
Mercy to inferiors is a must,
Lazy attitude must be shunned
Rash decisions are dangerous,
Stash them into the dustbin,
Flash optimism at every stage,
Dash to do duty with mirth
Overlook not any point,
Look at things positively,
Book confidence always,
Outlook must be ever fair
Sincerity is a sure winner,
Nobility is a Divine trait,
Humility is truly Angelic,
Duty is a sacred venture
Promotion is a by-product,
Emotion must be clear,
Devotion to duty is great,
Dedication is valuable
Whatever job you may choose,
Deliver the best always please,
Never give room for dejection,
Sever relation with conceit!
Each desire mirrors
fears causing shivers,
as we so create,
highs and lows of fate.
As long we’re seeking,
energy’s leaking,
causing commotion
in life in motion.
With each breath we die.
Why then do we sigh?
This world’s but a dream,
where thought forms do stream.
Being by God breathed,
erst cravings deceased,
heart’s ever aglow,
in staid stillness slow.
We are living light,
vibrant with delight,
seeing God in each,
as scriptures do preach.
