I am strong
You may simply disregard me
with your arrogant throng
You may treat me with disrespect
I'm still here, I am strong
Why don't you like it when I succeed?
Why can't you be happy for me?
I walk on air, confidently
so, foot loose and fancy free
Just like hope and like faith
and the sureness of birdsong
I know where I belong...
I am strong
Did you want me to be shaking
so scared and all alone?
Feeling lost and so abandoned
with nowhere to call my home?
Does my happiness distress you?
Does it make you feel upset?
That I'm at peace lovin' myself
Livin' life without regret?
You may shred me with sarcasm
You can say I don't belong
You can hate me with your jealousy
But still, like iron, I'm strong
Does my confidence disturb you?
Can you not visualize?
That my words are captivating
and the crowds they mesmerize?
From ancestral farmers sowing seed
I am strong
From hardy men of faith who believed
I am strong
I'm a true wordsmith, spinning words so true
weaving and knitting, as true poets do.
Never giving in to fear or to doubt
I am strong
I know what the love of God is about
I am strong
Building on the faith my forefathers had
I encourage the weak, make their hearts glad
I'm strong
I'm strong
I'm strong

Longevity Poetry Contest
Sara Kendrick
The war on aging is a battle
From a babies rattle
To the senior's canes
The longevity of life wanes
Good health stretches its wings
Bad health and the mortality swings
We would love to fly to the moon
Before the final breath is strewn
We would love to add more years
To be relieved of our aging fears
We would love to walk on air forever
But it's not a possible endeavor
The longevity of life is a planted seed
And it grows and blossom's and then cedes
That's life, and God's plan
There's no writing on the wall of ones span
There are the flowers to look forward to
And see ones life through
Bleeding hearts of passion desire
Arrow of love sets my soul on fire
Tears of joy replace the inner sad
Sweet whispers fall and fill me glad
I’ll follow you forever as the clock looses time
Bonded from this day forward loves fate has made you mine
I walk on air with your bright smile
I pray for your return to stay a while
You know my thought before its born
Temptations of you prick me like a thorn
I’ll follow you forever as the clock looses time
Bonded from this day forward loves fate has made you mine
Embraced with your kiss I conqueror it all
Everlasting is our love and I cannot fall
Dreams of touches follow my shadow
Twinkle from you eye shows loves halo
I’ll follow you forever as the clock looses time
Bonded from this day forward loves fate has made you mine
THE REAL YOU
Who do you think you are, tell me.
The way you throw your weight around
a handleless hammer I see,
unstruck nails are all on the ground.
Smart behemoth you walk on air.
Who do you think you are, tell me,
wearing musk of a billionaire,
life’s storm grinds your face in debris.
Though you show off poet’s pedigree
your poems grow in marsh like weeds.
Who do you think you are, tell me
poet laureate’s poems who reads.
A nice net of fake love you lay,
for me you go on shopping spree.
Deceiving you can’t get away,
who do you think you are, tell me.

Syllable count : 8 each line
(Checked on howmanysyllables.com)
Someone left a seed to grow
on barren fertile land.
From seed to tree
for you and me
Its beauty our command.
Someone planted grape vines
along a broken fence.
Now our glasses bubble
with fragrant effervesce.
I see waves of rye and wheat
dancing in bright sun.
Someone plowed those fields for us,
food for everyone.
Sun and sky and clouds above,
who placed those wonders there?
No one standing on this earth
dare try to walk on air.
Moon and stars and lightning bolts,
silver way on high!
What amazing majesty
just to please our eye.
So who then took their time for this?
Does anybody know?
Let me think with all my might.
No one I think—although.....

I’ve realized after living for so many years
That sometimes taking a life isn’t something you choose.
I walk through the streets of the city with no fears
Of retribution from the creatures beneath my shoes.
If it were possible, I would leave them all alone,
But there are just too many of them living out there.
It seems like most of them don’t even have a home.
To avoid killing them, you would have to walk on air.
I know that they are necessary for us to survive,
But I’m just not a fan of the ugly, creepy, little things.
The more people there are, the better they thrive.
At best annoying, at worst, scary to us human beings.
There is an age that parents fear,
A time when manners disappear.
When siblings turn and just for fun,
Hate everything, the time’s begun.
Now all become pure selfish sods
And think they walk where no one’s trod.
They now behave like things from hell,
Just why this happens, none can tell.
Their mum and dad they disrespect,
They seem to join a different sect.
One that exists for them alone,
They all become a ‘Kevin’ clone.
There is no way, that them we’ll please,
It’s worse than any dire disease.
We pray their moods will go away,
And dread the horrors of each day.
Their adolescent age we blame,
And know that once we were the same.
But all we did was curse and swear,
Nowadays they think, they walk on air.
They think adults don’t understand,
And they’re the first to walk this land.
Parents never had their needs,
Or ever lived in times like these.
Sometimes our teens can be so vile,
They moan and argue all the while.
Their insults make us feel quite prone,
To bless the day when they’ll leave home.
The only thing that we can do,
Is bear the brunt and see it through.
These kids who now have no control,
Will wake one day and find their soul.
It’s now they drive us all insane,
But surely where there’s pain, there’s gain.
One day they’ll take a bloody fall,
And find they didn’t know it all!
Ivor G Davies
one late night in the grip of a super moon, captivated by the elegance of
the season in an even slumber with bulbs sleeping on the brink of winter.
we surrender our senses to the alluring view and feel of this exclusive new.
autumn in its evening gown, its hibernating blooms, its brittle bark and rusted grass
in repose with sleeveless branches against a midnight sky and in a hovering haze.
wrapped in a multi colored coat of changing leaves and scattered acorns to gather
we walk on air enticed by the flow of a cooling breeze in the warmth of what is we.

One Autumn Night (in seven lines)
CONTEST FOR LINDA
Romantic evening arrived with reason
Reveling outdoors frolicking in fun
Enchanting lovers in blooming season
As you entered with glory of the sun
Sitting on sandy beach holding your hand
Blue moon I witnessed romancing your eyes
Shining intently glimmering your sand
Inviting my vibes to reach for the prize
You found the courage to conquer the tides
Charming blue waters fervently divine
Lifting my emotions where passion rides
Revealing glimpses of sensual sign
Courting amorous winds we walk on air
With avid glare, beaming romantic flare

Placed 4th in Summer love sonnet contest by John Hamilton
Ten syllables per line
Walk on
Even when the wind is against you
Walk on
Even when the horizon evades you
To stumble is not to fall
To fall is not to be fallen
To mumble is not to call
To whisper is not to be silenced
Prepare for dust and ash
To lose is not to be forsaken
Invite every weight of life
To carry it, is not to be laden
Strength comes with every burden
Clarity comes with every distance
Fold your sleeves for every battle
Find a voice under the muzzle
As destiny nears, the long walk hastens
A sprint into the fate of tenacity
The run will drift on seas and oceans
Until you embrace your deserved destiny
Walk on
In the deep sands and thick mud, do not despair
Walk on
Keep walking until you walk on air
