Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Wow, Malak, a double acrostic, these are not easy and yours is fantastic! Not precisely an acrostic as the ending words don’t always begin with the beginning letter of the line, but I find this to be an exciting innovation. Your vocabulary and images are so stirring, quite emotionally moving! Throughout, you are calling poignantly for peace, for a symphony of souls united. If only all would renounce violence, the “constant and cacophony of death!” Superb poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell
Double Acrostic
WAR’S VICTORIES
Wallowing in War’s endless cycle of laW
Amplifyies the voices of victors who stAnd
Reviewing their accomplishments of destRuction
Steal the visuals of those combating for Survival
Villains of evil violence stand as their Vision
Issues a constant cacophony of death Instead of
Carefully striving towards a lasting peaCe
Tasting its victory as murder is sTopped
Outlasting the carnage into a symphOny of
Rousing screams, strikes, congRegations
Intermixing races, religions, absolute harmonIes
Eternally standing together pledging symEtry,
Symphony around the victories of peaceS
