burns – Poetry for Change

Review for my poem, Untitled

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent quintain with a powerful ABABB rhyme scheme, Malak. Your combining fire, a pyre of lava, with all the voices of a burning choir, is wildly creative. Music does indeed rejuvenate, heats our bloodstream, floods us with emotions eating us alive. Superb images and worplay!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Playing with fire burns you in a pyre
Of lava, streaming into bloodstream
Eating you alive like a choir
Whose altos, sopranos, base beam
Their flooding heat and rejuvenate like cream.

Accolade for my poem, Regrets Fly

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab
Fantastic poem, Malak! Yes, we should cry out our emotions, our fears and frustrations. (By doing do we learn more about what we’re going through.) Sharing our pains encourages others to do the same.
Excellent turn of focus created by your wordplay on “pyre” and “lyre.” For all our “degrading fears,” there is hope of triumph, a great harmony within awaiting. We only have to listen and sing the angelic tune. I love your use of the musical refrain, very like Shakespeare. Excellent poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Regrets Fly

Flaming fever fires fly,
Fly into the night sky,
Raise your voice and cry.
Fal la la la la la

Cry out your emotion,
Feelings of despair, confusion,
Give them free reign to perception,
Fa la la la la la

Share to teach so others
Express sensations plaguing their powers
Of cheer that ends in tears,
Fa la la la la

Tears of lament whose fire
Burns hotter than the sun’s pyre,
Yet, prevailing over them in great success is a lyre
Fa la la la la

Lyre of angelic tunes create harmony
From within, reveling in the conspiracy
Of triumphing over degrading fears of being followers.
Fa la la la la
