Sheltered against nature’s outpouring Under leaves of green, huddled together, tweeting Our love song for all to hear and see That strength comes from unity, Protection comes from the will to fight For what’s yours without thinking of the consequences of plight.

Setting up the selfie station: Lights, cell stand, and her brand, Typically, she holds clothing to unfold Before it’s framed eternally on her blog.
She twists it this way and that, Showing all its sides, but None of hers, Except, the image she shows.
Behind the smile and frivolity, Lies a darkness, hidden from sight, For fear of being judged carelessly By followers that hold great might.
Anxiety is hers to cradle, While happiness is to be shared, And beauty is revered As long as it’s easily bendable.
What is she trying to prove, With her blog that’s on the move? Is her ambition centered around Follows and likes, without being bound?
I wonder what holds her prisoner, In a world where artifice is power, While, ethics and values take a shower, And faith is flushed out with dirty water.

As technology evolves, our mode Of communication increase, and the code For communication changes in a dire Attempt to keep up with the choir
Of voices raised as they speak Simultaneously, seeking a close peck On the cheek, can be seen not felt, Still, it reduces the Nostalgia you get
Missing loved ones, home, Foods and culture that come To your aid as your workplace Requires ethics that are not of this place.
As days go by, news becomes Scarce, worry alienates you from homes, But, worry not, your phone, window To the world, can show you
Any location instantly with a touch, Especially when internet is a bunch Of wireless connections that fail In the face of exploding bombs that quail
And break the access to people, Your cell is your weapon to gobble Any news of home, under siege, Your hopes revolve around posts on a page
That gives news, any news, News that spews lies in cues With political backing that refuse To admit their subterfuge, that’s of no use,
As we can see, through our cell, Dead fetus being extracted from the rubble, Decapitation, amputations, and remains In bags of flour, plastic bags, even backpack that rains

Poet, poem, poetry policing a world in poppery Overcoming chaos through order, design, Entertaining critically, changing constantly, Traversing cultures, emotions in a single jump, Running freely as long as the ink is writing Yet, you feel unheard, for the world is in woe.

We are wild and winded Riding the rippling stallion’s back Into a field of lavender colored Flowers, delicate in their appearance but lack Any real fragility, as they grow And spread into a sea of lilac bow
That drives the people wild As they crow their rhyme, beating Out a rhythm that is sublime, but rend A passionate response by the carting Of bales of lilacs to make dyes That represent the beauty that never dies.
As the field is emptied of its glorious Harvest, people celebrate their reaping Rewards with feasts, delicious In aroma, taste and hail the bounty creeping Into their bower, making them stronger, Heartier, and better survivor.

Whistling whispers that Have a holding effect on hearts Imploding with impossible passions Subliminal susurations sizzling in Promises provoquing powerful feeling Embedded in empires of whispered words Replying to curiosity currently conversing quietly.

Corruct politicians commit crimes Overlooked for their power trumps Reality, facts, fairness, equality, Remembering that by creating Unprecedented division, depravity, you Part unity of the people whose humanity Tends to be set aside for peer pressure Imposing the rule of the deceiver Operating on manipulating those weaker Needing corruption to be rampant while they plan.

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. A review of the poem by Erica
The poem “Starlight” by Malak Kalmoni Chehab fits perfectly with the theme “Cosmic Musings”! The poem beautifully explores the symbolism of starlight, using it as a metaphor for hope, optimism, and confidence.
There are 12 lines in the poem. Well done, Malak Kalmoni Chehab!
Some potential strengths of the poem include:
1. *Imagery*: The use of vivid descriptions like “bright living stars,” “shimmering wonder,” and “shooting star” effectively evokes the celestial theme. 2. *Emotional resonance*: The poem explores the emotional impact of starlight, conveying a sense of hope and optimism.
The poem’s message about finding confidence and strength in the symbolism of starlight is inspiring.
Congratulations 👏
Starlight
The darkened night sky is populated By bright living stars that brightened All our nightmares, giving us the radiance That bundles us in a cocoon of confidence.
Such shimmering wonder shines into your soul, Adding hope, optimism, an irrefutable scowl That repudiates all pessimism, darkness, And the need to succumb to its insidious whispers.
The murmur of such powers is devastating If not fenced and bound. Placing It in a securely locked chest, that is impossible, To open when your will inters it with all that’s enjoyable.
Revere the wondrous effect of shooting star That lightens your burdens and shines a spotlight Upon all that’s good, wondrous, loving, bright, And endlessly supporting your strengths from within.
