Poetry for Change
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Writing is a medium for rebellion,
Change, new perspectives, compassion,
An emotional diary of self-expression.

Child Within
The world is in despair,
What a great pair
My dog and I fair
As we jump, hop with flair.
Yes, chaos reigns,
But the soul of the child remains
My best defense as it stains
The world In pains.
So I posture my inner Child
Whose laughter is a great ride,
Whose love has no pride,
Whose enjoyment is never a grind.
Live like that child in simplicity,
Don’t overthink the atrocity,
Don’t stress the depravity,
Do live in harmony.

Leaves’ Lost Love
We are at the cusp of diurnal times
When fall falls, leaves flee, and flown
Away into fleeting cooling breezes that crown
The tree tops in a bare coat of branches
And dying leaves whose love story
With the tree is as tragic as thee.
They try to stay connected with a fee
Of dried stems that can only cry
When the leaves finally fall
And their story ends in crackles,
Crunches of animals stepping on the backs
Of mummified soil with a tapestry full
Of golden, green, orange hues
Turning pallid the longer the stay
Before their love, weary of loss, play
The fools as they’re swept into pues
And cues to be taken and turned
Into paper for schools. The poor leave’s
Story of love is rejuvenated with heaves
A sigh of true connection with child
Whose doodles, words sweep
The pain of loss into sweeter
Reverence to new connections, beautifier
Of emotions that are expressed and deep.

Pumpkin
Who am I?
I’m orange, oblong, striped,
And used by Cinderella’s
Fairy godmother in a chariot
Fit for a princess!
Who am I?
I’m still orange, some yellow,
Others green and pear like,
It’s used with a scarecrow
To scare off birds and scavengers, kite
Like in their freedom to perch, alone.
Who am I?
I’m the perfect accoutrement
To Thanksgiving dinners with
Joy, appreciation, laughter that comment
On the importance of being together with our breath
Mingling with loved ones in a moment we treasure.
Who am I?
I’m the unsung hero of Thanksgiving
Used in sweet and savory dishes
Used as a lamp for decoration of living
Homes who create a world of grinches,
Monsters, ghosts, and gools for entertaining.

Her Aromatic Windowseat
She looks out of her window
Where the darkness covers the world
Beyond her room filled with pink roses, in low
Vases, littered on her windowsill, not a coward,
She watches the storm brew from within,
Safe in her harbor, a haven of scents adorn
Her with mystique, incomparable to the crow who built in
Its home outside her window in a flow of corn
Ears reaching up to the sky, pleading,
Pleading for rain to steep the soil with
Life giving water, rejuvenating, healing,
Giving abundance where famine takes away breath
Of life on a scorching summer day.
She watches, lightning flutter in brilliant light
As thunder booms its might, scaring those in play
With extenuating fright whose plight
Will drown out their fears, replacing
Them with a pinhole of hope shining
Through the darkest raven blackness flying
Into the sky with optimism sparking
A deluge of creativity unbound by earthy
Trifles that bog the soul into a rut of endless routine.

I’m so honored to have been chosen from among around 500 applicants to be featured in this Anthology! What’s even better is that all profits from the book go to helping eliminate child hunger, and this book is dedicated to children in Gaza.
I’d recommend you all buy it if for no other reason than to promote healthier children lives.
Thank you, Matt Elmore, for insisting that I apply. Your support means a lot to me.
I’ll inform you of the date the Anthology comes out at and the Kindle version that’ll be available.

COURAGE
Courage is defined by the press vest that
Outlived its owners, journalists speaking
Under extenuating circumstances of flying bombs
Retreating into cover, returning, knowing the danger
Amputating their fears with each Blast of their reports
Governing the truth that has been in a abyss
Encouraged to see the light with their COURAGE.

Review for my poem: Press Vest
Malak Kalmoni. Chehab If your role model was THE VEST…. Much needed when successfully used. You sure wrote a provoking image-filled disturbing truth, sad to say, poem, Malak.
Makes one know one life should MEAN TO ONE ANOTHER! ✝️☮️
Be Blessed!!!🙏🫶

Press Vest
The press vest filled with holes, spilled stained
Blood, dusted debries, falling on
The corpses’ heads, grounded, buried
Under rubble, bubble like maps
That chronicle the rampages
Of discordant attacks privy
To location of all that try
Not to cry for the human loss
That’s too gross, property is floss
In ruination, standing barely.
