Award of Excellence for my poem, Recalcitrant Vision

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Recalcitrant Vision

All art is a view of life perceived
Through the eye of the artist who
Interprets his emotional response through
The media of art he drew and traveled
Into his world of choice where illusion,
Pink tinted glasses, or blackened ones, are a division

Only the artist can create within the piece
Of art that he sees in his mind’s eye,
Reproduces it, and there’s always the fly
That’s never as exact as the vision, a place

Where flexibility,  imagination run rampant
But can be recreated perfectly,
So the artist’s interpretation of life’s study
Is always in perfidy that’s recalcitrant.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Miracle of the Mind

Thank you for the honor and your hard.

Miracle of the Mind

The miracle of the mind has yet
To be cracked by science’s tech that let
The population believe AI is better,

Better than the mind that can
Create heaven or hell in a scan
That flips a switch depending on the fan

You’re surrounded by, friend
Is heavenly,  hell is enemy,  that bind
The mind in a special centrifuge that’ll lend

A whirl into the cast of hell
Where actors, environments, alter to try and fell
Your ability to succumb to their tell

Of a story built in hell. So the mind
Sets barriers that turn hell to heaven, find
The source of it in a heart that’s kind,

Turn the circumstances into a boast
Of power: an ability to change gears in a crest
To survive life’s test.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Betrayal’s Ease

Shattered! Shattered mirror on the wall,
Tell me the tale of this broken heart,
Heart that was given in good faith, fall
From its bubble of joy unbound, ’till It start

Seeing a change in behavior
From her once loving spouse.
It started with little things, later
Home arrivals, short temper, grouse

As though she hasn’t accomplished
Her duties: caring for kids, perfecting
The art of home management, all his favored
Dishes made, all’s organized, unspoiled

Respect for his need to rest
After a strenuous day of work,
Not unlike hers,  but does hers count?
You might ask. The answer is, it’s all work!

Then, she finds a jeweler’s receipt,
Waits several days to receive the gift,
But nothing comes of it except pain that leapt
Creating doubt, dishonor,  hurt, she feels like a thrift

For her only treasures from him now
Are the angels asleep as she worries
What’s next.  He comes home with undies
In his pant pocket. She recognizes

The brand, of course,  it’s not hers!
She decides to shelve her negative
Assumptions,  deciding to give another’s
Chance to either talk about it or walk away to live

Without her beauty, compassion, freshness,
Empathy that come in her brand of flair,
A flair that’s still attractive, needing caress
That’ll alleviate what presses the air

Out of chocking lungs that can’t breathe
From the devastating betrayal that doesn’t ease.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Rainbow of Rain

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Rainbow of Rain

Rainbowed love starts
In red hot passions
To orange hearts expanding,
To yellow glow brightening
The green of acceptance, change,
And growth whose prosperity
Turns into liquid blues,
Those of summer skies
Filled with potential of rains
That alter fallow lands
Into plentiful harvests.
The same as love’s abilities
To change others from singles
To a unit that expands
With the colors of rainbows
That are always varied,
Exiting changes that carried
Your worries under two mind
Supporting one another in a find
Filled well of love that carries
Change like loving swaddles
Embraced in four arms of loves.
The journey begins with a meeting,
Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting,
But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating
All your hopes, then, them entwining
Like the purple wisteria, two souls
Becoming one, growing a family that cools
Their stresses, soothes their anger,
As their flow is like the ocean water,
At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls
That end in making up sessions, falls,
Never, for they’re committed
To one another, wedded.

POET OR AI, by Malak Kalmoni, published at Masticadorescanada

Staring at the blank page, I wonder which words will Walk in the journal of the age Of fake people, news, expectations that kill The soul of creativity replaced, Replaced by AI, that seems to insist It will take over ingenuity, graced By humanity’s wondrous spirit whose gist Is made of light, dark, and grey.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Love’s Masks

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work.

Love’s Masks

Share your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals,
That power your imagination and hails
Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails
You have to choose who needs some derails.

Today, we hide behind our likes,
Our social media personae that drives
Our self-esteem into the grounds
If it’s not up to par with your peers.

Why do we hide?
Is intimacy such a bad ride,
That you need masks to keep all inside?

Or do you soar in flight
Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite
Out of the ball, then turn it into a free for all?

Double Gold Certificate,  poem: Clown Mask

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor. Below please read the Double Gold winning poem:

Clown Mask

Of all the social masks I wear,
My favorite is that of the clown.
It’s cheery colors hide the circles under
My eyes, the blood red cheeks are a gown

For covering blotchy skin from bouts
Of crying concealed in my lonely room,
Where the walls are party to the clouts
Of invisible pressures well sheathed in a bloom

Of colors, passionate deadly red,
That’s double edged in giving me
My highs and lows, happy and sad,
While white’s my hope for peace that came

In the relatively darkened home,
Knocked lightly, politely asking permission
For entry. It entreats me
To join the calm within the raven compassion

Of a heart needing an outlet to its
Pent up frustrations, disillusionments,
Disappointments and loss’s gots
Its hold on the vice of hate’s

Antonym requiring a face lifted
Into a mask of joy pierced by the gift
Of faith, love, and will to be lightened
By their brilliance overcoming the dead lift.
