Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Foundation of Love

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Foundation of Love

What comes out of love?
From love, all creation is born, as you rove
On this earth in search for more, from cove

To plain, to desert, to mountain top
You run in search for its root, and hop
To its tune, rhythm, rhyme to feed the soul that sop

Of identity, compassion, humanity,
That intermingle, intertwine, two souls of purity
Bound together to infinity.

Not as possession, not a claim, rather
Emotions that run the gamut from fear,
Pain, disillusionment, cheer, joy, all clear

As they mend the broken parts of each
Font of pleasure that surmount the bunch
Of negativity that oppresses like a crunch

Yet, love, its golden halo of purity
Engulfs the two in a hug transcending timely
Obstacles, turning them into change powerfully

Entwining lives into a single soul
Whose only goal
Is addressing the plunder of love’s bowl.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Rights of War

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rights of War

Winners of wars determine the history
Propagated to newer generations
In a bid to sway sympathy
Away from the destructions

That took place, as though hiding
Them would erase the truths
Of desolation,  Rubble, exploding
Buildings and bodies whose loss of breaths

Determine the storyline of the victor
Rather than about justice, rights,
Humanity, compassion to war prisoner
Whose degradation was placed in highlights

Of social media to consume like
Breakfast, while they resume their
Lives as passive observers who place a pike
In the hearts of survivor.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Wondrous Day

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab One day my friend, one day we may finally be all we wish we were… just waiting for the ‘slower’ homo sapiens to catch up my friend…. Excellent poem 🫡🙏👏👏😃👍❤️

By Zac Warden

Wondrous  Day

What a wondrous day!
The snow is falling, piled into rifts,
The ice on the ground crunches,
The wind blows wondrous tunes.

What a wondrous day!
The scorching sun heats my soul
With hope, optimism, a fire that’ll roll
Through me empowering my goal
To stay the wondrous course of life.

What a wondrous day!
I’m alive while others are dead,
Kin, friends, neighbors,  all fled
From the the destruction that bled
Blood into a wondrous river of red.

What a wondrous day!
Injustice, racism, categories are ways
The elite divide society in plays
That promote heinously wondrous frays.

What a wondrous day!
A day for celebration of strength,
Belief, unity, community solidarity taking a breath
Away from stress and languishing in the breadth
Of humanity’s wondrous compassion that’s not death.

Review and accolade for my poem,  Bodies of Death

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Profound, amazing poem, Malak! Excellent parallel structure created by the repetition of your first lines. You’ve captured much of the state of the world with forceful images and observations. The compassionate do not rest, refugees find jail, the young die before their time, politicians abandon ethics. True, so true. Great poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the honor and the review for my poetry. I’m always humbled by your comments.

Bodies of Death

Bodies of the world,
Whose blood runs red,
Whose compassionate souls
Never rest on behalf of victims’ hells.

Bodies of diverse diaspora
You’ve run in many directions like magma,
Setting a furor of ambition wherever
You land to prove yourself a better jailer.

Bodies of heavenly death
Speak on behest of lost souls whose breath
Was snuffed too young to comprehend
The fervor to achieve power and behead.

Bodies of the political world,
Your humanity is suspected
Of being lacking in affinity with your
Essence of ethical behavior that’s just not your core.

Certificate of Excellence for my acrostic poem, BELONG

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

BELONG
Acrostic

Be the change in the seasons
Eternal flexibility,  flow follows
Longevity, for if you bend with
Only power, you’ll break and despair will
Need an abyss to contain its weight,
Gone are the times of humanity’s compassion, only death is left.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Warriors in Sheep Skin

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Warriors in Sheep Skin

Warriors dressed in sheeps’ clothing
Fight, as warriors are wont to fight,
Let your voices rise, Soar like a kite,
Cross oceans of fright, conquering

Hearts with words of peace,
Empathy, compassion for humanity
That has fallen astray, accepting fraticide
As a way of life, unquestioningly

Some follow like the sheep they are,
While others use every medium,
From comedy, literature, criticism,
Painting, sculpting, all in their way fare

And pair their visions of peace
Fighting, unnoticed by many,
But those affected by their kindly
Actions have only gratitude that’ll fleece

Despair into an abyss where peace
Reigns in warrior stance in pride
That freedom fighters are framed in place
By the courts of the people who don’t hide.

6th place for my poem, The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In a uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows, and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit on wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life’s bliss rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the seasons blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

HELL O WEAN

The past year has been worse than any
Halloween as it was actually HELL O WEAN …
The Hell of being weaned on what’s seen
On social media’s snippets of genocide, carry

With it atrocities of dismemberment,
Beheaded children, fetuses gutted, children
Bullseyed by snipers, flour lines broken
By bullets whizzing past victims of bombardment.

So hello, HELL O WEAN, we see
Your inhumanity,
Your unlawful abiding personality,
Your insouciant attitude to killing. Be

The Hell in our Haloed Halloween for you’ve
Shown us that: unity is strength,
Gen Z still has a conscience whose breath
Of freshness is awakening those who’ve

Followed blindly behind HELL’s demand
For subservience to its god given
Right to rule the world with a broken
Set of laws that are man-made but bind,

Bind those whose ambition
For power is greater than their compassion.
