double acrostic poem – Poetry for Change

Accolade for my double poem, Existential Void

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Bravo for taking on such a challenging form, Malak! This poem is wonderfully, deeply philosophical and psychological. You valorize those “Tumultuous wars within that try to/Eradicate despair’s darkest emptiness,” the struggles of hope that refuse to give in to villainy and the void. Powerful poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Double Acrostic
Existential Void

E xtenuating circumstances       Vie to the
X ysti to try and rest                     Omitting
I ntentionality of an existental voId
S ublimating intensions of         Destructively
T umultuous wars within that try to
E radicate despair’s darkest emptiness,
N ever allowing it to overflow with
T he love, faith needed to defy    Villany
I nterminable in its need to destrOy
A stronomical strength that         Intensifies
L iving in the light of hope, never Denouncing the void.

DIVERSITY

Dine on tabboule, curry,   gYros, pasta, burgers, sushi,
Include a sprinkling of      Teas and Turkish coffee
Vainly believing that travelIng will make you
Even more open to cultureS and races that sur-
Round you. Relieve       youR boredom with savory
Sensory outbursts that     Endavor to sparkle the palate
Intensifying your joy        Valiantly trying to be compassionate
To ‘otherness’ even through Incredible oppression they’ve
Yet to discern as being their Damnably real identity.
