Triple Diamond Certificate for my poem, Her Eyes

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Her Eyes

Her thick, wavy red hair flows
Around her face, framing a sensuous
Mouth, a retroussé nose, glamorous
Eyes, never crows but flies as windows

To her innocence and admiration
For a world whose good deeds
Are hidden like gems flying on steeds
Whose wings of change soar in liberation

Of the subjugated whose hopes
Had been dashed until they were
Perceived through her vision’s core
Of gratitude for gifts, treasures helping us copes

With desperation, disillusionment,
Dispondency, bereavement for the cheer
We possessed in our youth, but won’t hear
Of its resurrection because the illusion

Created by world media is of desperation
To be who, what you aren’t for integration.

Certificate for my poem,  Crane Cloud

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Crane Cloud

For a child, imagination is a castle
Filled with invisible friends in a battle
To be the superhero that defends
Against injustice and bends

The rules of logic, reality
In order to achieve his empty
Vision with regulations that fit
Into a cloud looking like, a big bit

Of a crane, all white fluffy
Clouds, but hunts like an eagle whose cry
Pierces the sky with a predatory
Call, scaring prey and flushing adversary

Out in the open so go for the kill
That’s a firing squad of a pill
Calling out for justice in a child’s
Mild imaginings, prospering in a field’s

Grassy stretch lingering on harvest,
Its beauty, hard work, and failing the test
Of nature that can wipe it away
In a stray moment that’s a giveaway.

Still the child looks upon the crane,
Wishing he were riding on its back, a bane
To all oppressors, abusers who dare
Hurt anyone as he bares witness with care.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Moves

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Superb double tetractys, Malak, that speaks heartbreaking truth! Those thousands killed in war are an indelible image the mind’s eye cannot refuse to remember. Beginning with one and two is clever, a nod to the double tetractys form and a perfect way to allude to how a devastating war may begin with just a few moves. Also wonderful is your ending in bright light, light that forces us to face the truth of war’s consequences. Excellent poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Moves …

One,
Two wrong
Moves started
In war that kills
Thousands, unspeakable actions paling
When faced with consequences, murders hunt
Amputees, fight
Trauma’s might
In bright
Light.

Review for my poem, Untitled

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent quintain with a powerful ABABB rhyme scheme, Malak. Your combining fire, a pyre of lava, with all the voices of a burning choir, is wildly creative. Music does indeed rejuvenate, heats our bloodstream, floods us with emotions eating us alive. Superb images and worplay!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Untitled

Playing with fire burns you in a pyre
Of lava, streaming into bloodstream
Eating you alive like a choir
Whose altos, sopranos, base beam
Their flooding heat and rejuvenate like cream.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  ‘Humanitarian Aid’

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab An amazing aspirational and inspiring poem. Malak. So much more needs to be done to help the less fortunate. And as you say, creating well paying jobs that support families and communities is the ideal. All people need meaningful, fulfilling work they can be proud of. By, Linda Powers O’Dell

‘Humanitarian Aid’

How’s philanthropy helping the down-trodden?
Charities galore, making money, beholden
To the filthy rich, who part cautiously,
With their material goods, heavenly,

Is their allocation as they help the needy,
Whose prayers for the givers are done loudly
In order for all to hear of their philanthropic
Activities, that are only a drop in the oceanic

Depths of need and devastation that exists
In a world where humanity’s enslaved and persists
In demanding accolades for what should be
An ethical and humane gesture to help people

In need of a helping hand here and there,
Preferably, a job that’ll give enough to prepare
For the task of supporting their family
In a bid to never fall under the miserly

Capitalist whose only thought
Is to where he can squeeze, what was taught,
The best buck st the expense of those
Who need it most, but will give it without pause

So their pride in their abilities
Shines in the eyes of families.

Published in Wheelsong Poetry Anthology 8

I’m honored to have 3 of my poems published in Wheelsong Poetry Anthology 8.  Each poem has a different themes using different poetic forms to enhance the message i want to forward.

I implore anyone who wishes to give back to society to buy a copy as all profits olfrom the Anthology go to the charity to help hungry children worldwide.

Below are exerts of my poems that are published just to wet your appetites for more ….

Ghouls of War

Moguls of war, ghouls that store,
Store away resources for a grey,
Grey day when needs are felt,
Felt in empty stomachs covered,
Covered by a rock to stave,
Stave the incessant hunger pains,
Pains that fog the functioning brain,
Brain needing nutrients,
Nutrients absent in war torn homes, …

Two Way Street

I lay in a fetal position,  my head
Cushioned by his heart, in a beat
And rhythm that puts me to sleep, a feat
That takes time, trust, comfort instead

Of weariness, worry that stress,
I lay my head on his chest, dreaming
Dreams of innocence that fled, tears streaming
For losses galore, knowing he’s my vest that’ll press …

Poetic Castle

Poetry is my castle where every
Room’s walls are painted in my poetry
The building itself is antiquated in poverty,
But each chamber is filled with rhymes eternally …

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Gentle Core

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Gentle Core

Look, look upon the Azure blue sea
It shines brilliantly of hope for all to see,
No storms, battles, violent death mar
Its crystalline shores with dismantled bodies, far
From blemish free for purity, innocence

That need to flourish in childish
Wonder, grow their curiosity without polish
So their imagination is catapulted
Into the stratosphere of flight, never endangered
For war is a foreign concept without gore

They thrive on challenges galore
That make a humongous score
Into inventions, creations that never bore,
Using them To improve life’s spore
That’s harvested with gentle kindness of the core.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  War

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Great use of this form, Malak! Your inventory of humanity’s ills is shaped like a great weight bearing down on….Life. Superb how your first word is War which creates a north pole to life’s south. Around these connected extremes a myriad of troubles and suffering spins. Impressive poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

#Diamanti

                                 War
                         Terror, murder
                      Flow like oceans
           Struggling to survive mutilation
   Atmosphere of toxins spreading disease,
           Disasters hidden and shared
                     PTSD isn’t just
                      Trauma lived,
                               Life

Accolade for my poem,  Field of Wild Flowers

Field of Wild Flowers


What are you thinking young
Lady? You flowy, strappy, flirtatious
Dress is designed for sensuous
Activity,  yet, here you are, alone, among

The throng of wild, colorful flowers
Framing your strength in fragility,
Yet, they grow without human intervention, happily
Bending to the whims of natures

As it storms or shines, they’ll always
Be waiting for your return to admire
Their simple needs grateful for the pyre
Of sunshine that peaks and sways

Into your hair, hands as you sit
On your picnic blanket waiting,
Admiring, grateful for solitude’s unfailing
Reset button that helps you stay set.

Gold Award  for my poem, Humanities Nature

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Humanity’s Nature

Faerie light floats with the speed of light,
Light approaching the sculpted rocky arch
Arch where art is chiseled in a cascade of bright
Bright geometric forms that parch
Parch the soul that has lost malleability
Malleability to change, not shatter at the sheer,
Sheer steap drops, highs that spurt,
Spurt the bubbly spring water flowing,
Flowing, glittering in the red rays,
Rays filled with harmony deep,
Deep within it flows through trees,
Trees, bushes, a stone bridge,
Bridge that fills the gap between light,
Light and darkness,  good and evil,
Evil of selfish envy whose ego blows,
Blows out the balance within unity,
Unity that holds the folds of humanity,
Humanity Whose need for peace,
Peace is but a piece of mind that rest,
Rests and creates transient beauty,
Beauty that stuns into silence,
Silence where thought proceeds,
Proceeds to learn to feel the presence
Presence of haloed reverence in
In humanity’s nature.
