Short Commemorating Poems

Use nepheline syenite if you please
Don’t say you will if it’s just a tease.
I want a fine oblisk.
Created from a disc.
Commemorating me among these trees....

A Twilight ends the sweltering day with a dusky simmer
    American liberty, is what we're commemorating       
Firecrackers burst above us, romantic, lights that shimmer
Under a lit sky we stand, with family celebrating

Cold, abbreviated February,
host to nobel, famous politicians.
Day commemorating dignitary,
valentines addressed on loving missions;
Cupid's bow delivers executions.
Leap year makes your stay a little longer,
winter's freeze and ice a wee bit stronger....

Monuments went up commemorating the end of World War II
It wasn't so long ago in Europe, their scars still show ~

A long and vicious war with horrific consequences
So much to rebuild but it was the dawn of a new day
Surely mankind had learned its lessons...

Our own beloved Debbie
encourages us to write poetry.
She wants to see
if we have the ability
to write something freely
commemorating her earth-entering anniversary.
Can you submit in her contest
something that stands above the rest?
Enter something this hour.
I know all of you have the power.

A dealer of drugs
With immense wealth
Was chosen as president
Of a meeting
commemorating the foundation day
Of a local club
by its office bearers.

As the meeting concluded
He announced a donation
Of rupees ten thousand
In cash to the club.
The audience
Erupted in applause.


The poem based on a local TV Disscussion Prgramme....

Family gives you strength in everyday,
And GOD give you moment, strength, and life to be treasure....

Here begins a series of Burns stanzas
commemorating the Catholic Missions found in Old California along "El Camino Real", The King's Highway. The rhyme scheme is

Converts, business,
making tribes of Christian passion.
Seeds brought, priests bless....

Pink rose, plucked from its garden of sweet earth,
laid fondly on her grave to venerate
a woman of inestimable worth
on this, her day of birth I celebrate -
one rose to join the rose who gave me birth.

[Sicilian Quintain]

A pink rose signifies gratitude, admiration, and appreciation, 
commemorating grace, joy, and sweetness - 
3 traits of my beloved mother, Elizabeth Watt
born Sep 14th, 1919, died Apr 2nd, 2017

Absent from the body
against oxygen-gasping
Dad entered his 
Father's house 
of "many mansions..."*

Today, we gather
as his fruits with gratitude
commemorating Father's Day
in this once empty room 
that reverberates his legacy.

*John 14:1-2 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

The flowers in bright blossom,
With leaves a deep green hue.
Butterflies gently fluttering,
Boisterously pollinating the plants.

Banana laden plants,
Plentiful papaya filled trees;
Splendid rustic roses ,
Swaying to the winds.

Squirrels scampering all around
The green grass carpet.
And Cuckoos cooing casually,
Commemorating comely nature.

That's nature at its best.
Earth's boundless bountiful prosperity,
An inherent intelligence at work;
Grace of the unseen hand of God....

The shadows of doubt were following me since my life’s dawn 
Overcastting my thoughts as not to find the place that I belong

But Thou, my Lord, have shown me Thy everlasting celestial way:
Unconditionally to love every being of your creation to this day

For that my heart everlastingly Thy glory would thankfully sing
Continuously working the desired peace on this planet to bring
