Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent acrostic poem, Malak, replete with the most heartbreaking images! The violence, the grief, the blood and death are all so vividly portrayed. Your tone is courageously sincere, and your descriptions are balanced and authentic. Those poor orphans whose trauma is endless! Poetically this is a most poignant ending. Superb poem, thank you so much for sharing it. By Linda Powers O’Dell

TUMUTUOUS

T urbulent times are terrifying as
U ncertainty settles in the bones in a
M ishmash of tumutuous feelings where the
U nreality of the horrific events of amputees,
L ost heads, empty chest cavities, blood
T rickling, soaking the rubble, ground, family
U nrestrained in their grief of inhumane loss
O utnumber those left of the family tree, now most are
U nder the rubble of six feet under. Who’s left to
S upervise the orphans whose trauma’s endless.
