Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Woman Defined

Woman Defined

Courage thy name is Woman!
You’ve shown us your resilience
In the face of adversity that can
Drive strong men to their knees in case
Their worries overwhelm their ferocity,
Which is tempered by Her steadfastness
And confidence in Her ability
To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty
That’s never ending in its compassion.

Her armor, mask is that of love.
Her empathy lifts Her up.
Her education is Her weapon, a dove,
White, for its peaceful cup.
She’s endured degradation, oppression,
Slavery and desperation beyond
Caution, She moves into dominion
With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.

Bond of her heart that instigates
The need for freedoms.

Review and accolade for my poem, CHIAROSCURO

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. I always wait impatiently for your comments.  Thank you

CHIAROSCURO
Chained light,
Heavenly bright
Incessant shadow, don’t
Avert the radiance of justce
Reflecting right’s light
Offering hope when despair is
Somewhat easier to drown in, while
Courage to fight the battles of equality
Under the umbrella of darkened power
Revealed in rays that shine a ritulant glow
Over the dispossessed of humanity’s light.

Certificate Award for my acrostic poem,

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

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.

Accolade and Reviews for my poem, Press Vest

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!!!🙏🫶
Shee G ✍️

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.

Accolade and review for my poem, Resistance Is Futile

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

‘Resitance is Futile’*1

We’re being bombarded, daily,
By subliminal messages, hourly,
Whispers of drugs, violence, alcoholics’ enduced hazes, minutely,
Incorporated in ALL media, compulsively.

Resistance is Futile …

Words, sounds, images coalesce
Into an indoctrinated presence
That’s insidious in its convergence
Into your mind, creating a blinding trace

For behaviors that are incongruent
With ‘our’ Ideals of humanity, that are esculent
By mediocrity of addiction becoming permanent,
As our dependence skyrockets into exponent …

‘Resitance is Futile’ …

As our struggles persist,  our
Vision, imagination, purveyor
Of our strength of cohesion, flutter
Into a bud that flourishes in power.

As ‘Resistance is Futile’,

Our obstacles remain tangible,
Yet, clearly, unattainable.
The need to strive to be corrigible
Is embedded in our DNA, for hope is always tenable.

Thus:
‘Resitance is (Not) Futile.’


*1. Star Treck, the Borgh, a a cyborg entity trying to Conquer worlds, says this to Captain Pickard when they wish to invade earth.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Twilight Darkened Light

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Twilight’s Darkened Light

The night’s fading darkness
Is illuminated by filaments that glimmers
With piercing reddish hues
Into a horizon of fading darkened blues.

With each touch of brilliant, glinting light
The scenery is transformed,  bright
As a white pigeon in heightened flight,
Soaring, like Icarus, too near the sun’s slight

Heat that tenderly caresses its feathery
Wings across all living things, bravely
Broaching the new day optimistically,
Knowing that man’s destruction will invariably

Alter the breathtaking beauty of sunrise,
Twisting its vibrancy into shades
Of tenebrous grey, colorless, and lifeless,
As everything becomes hopeless.

Let each new day be your oath
To be stronger than the sun’s breadth,
As you emulate its depth
Of strength, that reigns above all in stealth.

Award of Excellence for my poem, Puissance of Power

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Puissance of Power

Courage to fly beyond your abilities
Takes you farther than when you’re
Restricted into the confines of strategies
That work only within the limits that are

The core of your strengths, believing
That’s all you can accomplish
Will invariably render your power into muting
Its progression into achieving the lavish

Impossibility of the strictures
You’ve established as your growth
Is stunted by the bars of your own raptures
That you’ve chained into a caged breath

That only takes you no farther
Than the nose, tangible, in sight
And touch, but believing in the freedom, power
Of inner puissance that’s untapped unless you fight.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Soar with Courage

Honored to be the first in this contest.  Thank you for the topics and your hard work.

Soar with Courage’s

Courage thy name is life,
Life filled with life altering decisions
Decisions needing mettle, fortitude,
Fortitude to dare what seems impossible,
Impossible for those cowards,
Cowards who prefer their comfort zone,
Zone where habits, schedules limit,
Limit your growth to stagnation leading,
Leading to a prison of your making,
Making your spirit dim till extinguished.
