In eerie voice chief ghost spoke, “we have many more to welcome”
“More lost souls join us tonight, released from bodies by conflicts,”
“While they war on colour and creed, we will hug them one by one!”

Sijo poetry contest!
Welcome! Warm welcome dear poets
I do not turn it on before knowing how to turn it off
I get used to it!
All I would like is the word that's meant for a few poets to see
Who attracted me in aesthetic ways to keep going on.
Not every poster is a writer
Nor all roses are fragrant.
Throughout the years, I write and write
Didn't give much care whether wrong or right
For in my heart, all I really want is to share and inspire
I want this, so I find a way then try and try
I went to different blogs and websites
Really wanting post my reflections and insights
Across all the choices, I found this soup not of goodies
But a soup of poets and poetess, young and not so oldies
Submitting a one, two and three prose
Excited to see persons whom I arose
Encouraging to see such heartfelt posts
Of praises and comments, so inviting for a toast
"Word flow is quite unique, intense emotions", by Drake Eszes
"come join in a contest", Says a poet Destroyer but a silent builder
Good lucks, says Skat A maybe an "A's" on her poems
Thank you, thank you very much for the warm welcome
Of hugs across the globe and praises, I receive each time
On this love month of February, even past Valentine
Let me dedicate this composition, I hope just in time
To all writers: verse, haiku, couplets and rhymes etc
Short either a paragraph or to long poems

2nd place - tributes for the soupers' welcoming committee
They fear what they do not understand
but without understanding I fear no man
They subdue what they cannot naturally conquer
so I turn the tables put them in a locker
They doubt what they cannot control with aggression
I removed all the clips from their smith and wessons
They hate what they cannot possess or call liar
I confront them with truth and watch them perspire
They add height to the obstacles they cannot hurdle
but I leap right over and scrape not a knuckle
They attempt to build walls in front of us all
their bricks are unleveled and gravity calls
The dry leaves rustling
against the wind
As their secret song
blows through
The night welcomes me
in
I cried along with you when I heard on the phone
Your first cries as you made yourself known
With little fists flying and a voice to be heard
You let everyone know, you would not be deferred.
With angelic eyes and a cute little nose
You were pink and rosy, right down to your toes
Everyone cooing, laughing and yes a tear too
For the new life and blessing on your day of debut.
With a head full of hair the color of fawn
Born in the morning just before dawn
You visited awhile and then went out like a light
An angel needs rest to shine that bright.
So welcome Aimee Michelle, we’ve waited so long
To have you with us; to hear your life song
Never doubt for a moment how much you are loved
You are our blessing that God sent from above.
*To my son who lost a son last year but was blessed last night with a daughter. I
couldn't be there due to illness so I only got to hear her first cries over the phone.
Went by robin's tree house,
this morning, stopped by
to listen to wonderful
sounds they send out.
Such a warm welcome
they gave me, so
many of them spoke
to me, as I listened,
with a close ear,
cool air on this
fine day, makes
them so happy.
We say our good byes,
soon they will depart
Lowell ponds for
warmer places.
As I said "Goodbye
my friend," to a robin
on a branch, he looked
me in the eye and,
gave me a chirp.
