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.

Gold Certificate for my poem, Taking Initiative

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Taking Initiative

The youth of today have proven
Their strength, Fortitude, and given
Up freedom to take a stand against
Oppressors, murders, genocide creators post

Their dominion, ‘victimhood’ on news
That’s twisted to empower their views
Knowing that in this age of tech
Even children have the ability to peck

Into the ocean of lies where grains
Of truths are shiny diamonds that pains
The oppressor’s hold over ignorance
That’s being swept away in a prance

By the creative youths who’ve shared
Their findings unhindered
By the punishment that governments
Hold over them, deportation, prison, jobless …
