Spring is Here
The whisper of the ocean shifts,
soft and warm against the shore,
a breath of salt and golden mist
as winter fades to be no more.
Sunrise stretches, pink and bold,
spilling light across the seas,
palm fronds rustle, bright and gold,
in the hush of island breeze.
Spring is here, and life awakens,
in a paradise so fair—
where bougainvillea blush the hills,
and mangoes sweeten air.
Flamingoes wade in shallows deep,
rosy-hued against the tide,
while turtles glide and dolphins leap
in waters clear and wide.

In an era of instant communication and digital media, staying informed is more important than ever. Information shapes our perspectives, influences our decisions, and determines how we engage with the world.

Being properly informed is not just a personal responsibility but a societal necessity. It is crucial to seek the truth, verify sources, and remain engaged with current events to avoid ignorance and misinformation.
Don't Fear the Future
"Future Change" - Bahamas AI Art

This poem captures the spirit of progress, encouraging openness to change and new technology while warning against clinging to outdated ideas.
Don't Fear the Future
The past was built with fire and stone,
A world once small, a world once known.
But time moves on with steady hands,
Unfolding futures vast and grand.
The stars we mapped were myths before,
The earth was flat—or so we swore.
Yet minds unchained, with vision bright,
Unraveled truth and birthed new light.
The wheel, the press, the iron steam,
The spark of code—a silicon dream.
Each step they feared, yet none could halt
The march of time, the lightning’s vault.

The Stage of Life
The curtain rises, lights burn bright,

Where all must play the roles at hand.
Some walk with honor, heads held high,
Their voices calm, their hearts belie
A kindness deep, a strength untold,
They shape the world in hands of gold.
They speak of love, they act with grace,
They mend the wounds, the fears erase.
Their scripts are writ with selfless care,
They light the dark, they breathe the air.

Skeletons in the Closet
They rattle when the house is still,
whispers scraping through the night.
Behind the oak doors, locked and shut,
they stir where shadows choke the light.
I hear them shift, I feel them grin,
their hollow laughter calls my name.
A chorus born of buried sins,
each syllable a hiss of blame.
I swore I'd leave them in the dark,
sealed beneath the weight of years.
But ghosts have ways of finding cracks,
of seeping through my brittle fears.

Judge Not
"Judgement Mirror" - Bahamas AI Art
©A. Derek Catalano
This poem emphasizes the dangers of passing judgment on others and the inevitability of being judged in return.
Judge Not
You sit so high on judgment’s throne,
A heart of stone, a voice of scorn.
You cast your verdicts, sharp and swift,
As if your soul has never slipped.
You weigh their sins, yet blind to yours,
With scales unbalanced at their core.
You count their flaws like grains of sand,
Yet wipe your own with careless hands.
You scoff at those who walk astray,
But who are you to mark the way?
Have you not wandered? Have you not erred?
Have you not known the weight of fear?

Beware the Green-Eyed Monster
"Jealousy" - Bahamas AI Art
©A. Derek Catalano
This poem captures the creeping, consuming nature of jealousy and serves as a warning about its destructive power.
Beware the Green-Eyed Monster
Beware the beast with whispering breath,
A shadow lurking, sharp as death.
It slithers near with poisoned tongue,
A song of doubt so softly sung.
It creeps behind your closest friend,
Turns laughter bitter, love to end.
It twists their joy into a slight,
And makes the day dissolve to night.
It wears a mask of reason's face,
Yet sets your steady heart to race.
It feeds on glances, words unspoken,
On shattered trust and bonds left broken.

Don’t Lower Your Standards
"Don’t Lower Your Standards" - Bahamas AI Art
©A. Derek Catalano
This poem is a powerful reminder to hold firm to your values, dreams, and self-worth, regardless of external pressures.
Don’t Lower Your Standards
Don’t lower your standards for fleeting applause,
For whispers of praise wrapped in counterfeit cause.
The world will entice with its glitter and gold,
But treasures untested will tarnish when sold.
Stand firm in your values, let dignity shine,
Your worth isn't measured by trend or design.
The hollow approval of those who deceive,
Is fleeting as echoes the moment they leave.
They’ll tell you to bend, to shrink or conform,
To soften your fire, to weather their storm.
But storms teach resilience, and tempests reveal,
The strength of convictions that time cannot steal.
