Accolade for my poem, Women’s Persona

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab What a beautiful tribute to the feminine! You encourage us to know and appreciate our strengths, our creativity and our innate intuition. Assuring us that we can succeed in any endeavor, you advise that we not give up our dreams for the sake of a salary.  Beautifully written, Malak, wonderful images, expressions, rhymes, rhythm, and cohesive development of your theme. I love how you end on the idea of living intuitively and being a seer. We can be the creators of progress! Brilliant poem, Brava! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Women’s Persona

Women, women, winning a whirlwind
Of acceptance by having a variety
Of characters that attract and bind
Society in a kind frame of mind: kindly

Note there are women who love
Unconditionally, protectors’ powers that
Never falter, career oriented who dove
Into the bureaucratic grind having compleat

Skills required to climb the proverbial
Corporate ladder, succeed, surpass
Men in their fields, finding familial
Relations more difficult, while others possess

Creativity, an artistic soul that
Grabs their absolute attention,
But only for short periods, but they cart
Their art into its cave for fermentation

As they live their full lives.
Others, loose their soul to depravity
For their frustrations caused by their dreams
Being forgotten as life demands a salary.

No matter what type you are: woman
Listen to your instincts, persevere,
Prevail, denounce negativity, intuitively run
The marathon of your accolades and be the seer.

Accolade and Review for my poem PIQUANT

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Superb acrostic, Malak, with your references to the zesty and the peppery, it’s quite piquant itself. It’s great how you include the key word in your poem as a clue. Lots of flavorful action words: awakening, flowing, dancing, melding. Your last line captures the essence of piquancy, sharp, tangy, and spicy flavors presented harmoniously. Your lovely poem is just as stimulating and lively! Wonderful! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Acrostic
PIQUANT
Picking your flavors is a must
Increasing its zesty, peppery,
Quality to awaken your palate
Unceremoniously flowing
Against the norm of taste buds
Needing to dance with the piquant
Trifle melding varying tastes in harmony.

Certificate for my acrostic poem, EPIPHANY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

EPIPHANY
Epic realization that life’s
Purpose revolves around
Impromptu changes that
Perforate your plans asunder
Hoping that wherever you land
Assuming you land standing, you
Never give up the fight of
Yet another epiphany in life.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Not a Saint

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Not a Saint

Being a Saint is boring,
Always the good deeds, never frowning,
Yet we know that your aim
Is to be the best and claim
Sainthood, but knowing that your
Humanity is your downfall, emotions a chore
To suppress, overcome your vulnerability
That’s inculcated in your DNA, not a probability
Rather a truth that needs accepting,
Acknowledging its veracity by proclaming
That Sainthood is goal, unachievable
But still you try to reach the possible.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  INQUILAB

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

INQUILAB

Illiteracy is obliterated by learning
Never stopping from acquiring knew knowledge in a
Quest for improvement through Inquilab
Understanding that the pen’s power strives to
Implement change through a mindset of
Liberating rebellion against oppression’s hold
Amassing a following, generating strength
Building unity that overpowers the oppressor.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Energy

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Energy

Everything gives off energy,
People give out vibes that are clingy
To their character, soul, and humbly
Vibrate at a frequency that’s seemly.

Plants, shrubs, and trees are no different.
Have you stood by vegetation not cement?
Felt the energy emanating in a vent,
Reaching out to reduce anxiety onto a splint?

As my tactile senses overtake me,
I feel energy all around me:
People,  cars, trees, parks are tame
And engrossed in a game that’s not lame.

As I touch a living plant, I feel
Its need to enrobe me in its touch,
Its simplicity and innocence that fill
My fingertips with a current that’s a badge

Of honor, as not all have the same
Level of sensitivity to fall under
The wonderment of nature’s thrall, and name
Man as its destroyer without any rancor.

The life force, energy,  magnetic field
Are all one and the same, as each
Creature eminates a void, imagination, that embraced
Its emptiness by acknowledging its existence.

Double Diamond Certificate for my poem,  Sparrow’s Visit

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sparrow’s Visits

The sparrow always came
Hopped a few steps, never lame
As he carefully sniffs if danger
Is present before moving closer

To the old man who feeds him, his family
Daily. Slowly as not to scare the gnarly
Fingers away, he wades slowly
To his friend and nuzzles his hand, barely

Touching, yet it’s enough to connect
Sharing a moment of perfect
Understanding that the sparow
Visits more than the man’s family as life’s flow

Tangles them in chores leaving
Him out of the loop while his preaching
Is shared by the sparrow while nature
Awakens, hibernates, changes in pure

Reflection of the old man’s life
Whose autumn years are numbered, rife
With pain, inconsolable fore the wife
Is long gone, kids busy, but the show lives in life.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Innocence’s Plight

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Innocence’s Plight

From BLM to ICE raids
From a home to rubble
From fields of olives to burnt lands
From stealing old olive trees
To destroying homes
From armies helping settlers,
Be oppressive to decimation of properties
From innocence to disillusionment,
From childhood to ancient wisdom
From mobs striving for justice
To being over policed by injustice,
From free speech to changing
The narrative to better suit their storytelling,
A new version of reality, lies
That destroy virtues, moralities,
And decency that an integral part of our humanities.
