Accolade and Review for my poem,  ‘To Be or Not to Be’

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab A wonderfully inspiring poem, Malak, it would be a dream come true if “peace, harmony, and acceptance” were “the norm rather than fear.” Excellent use of Shakespeare’s famous life to describe our lives, “a streaming play.” Despite many people not having a say, despite the torpor of daily life, the poet wisely advises us to embrace our dreams, to hold the hands of our lovers, to make even the damnable pleasurable. Thank you for sharing this encouraging poem! By Linda Powers O’Dell

‘To Be or Not To Be’¹

To Dream or Not to Dream
Is such a wonder in a light beam.

I dream of you and me, lover,
As we hold hands as our hearts flutter

In a world where, none have a say
In anything but a streaming play.

A drama of such magnitude and splendor
That anything reality brings is but torpor.

While dreaming of things that be
In, ‘To be or not to be’²,

You swerve, soar, steer, drive, or dive
Into a dream as real as you contrive,

Where peace, harmony, and acceptance
Are the norm rather than fear and non truce.

Elevate your dream into your life
Making the damnable all but pleasurable.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, What If?

What an honor!

What If …

What if war was a warm wreathe
Filled with colors that please?

What if snow’s icy feel was velvety
Warm and inspires healing coldly?

What if humanity hummed a hymn
Filled with hope, harmony haunting grim?

What if there is only acceptance,
Understanding, friendship, peace?

What if your entourage were supportive
And fulfilled its quotient of depression’s curative?

What if the sky and seas became
One, melding colors, baking but grim?

What if the mountains and valleys
Came together in a crash of ash and clays?

What if the living and dead walk
The earth together,  what will they about talk?

What if you’re born an adult, regress
Into babyhood, then die as a baby’s bless?

What if black were white, and white
Were black, how would dichotomy be a plight?

What if time leapt back to lack technology,
Would humanity still have posterity?

Triple Diamond Certificate for my poem,  Child Strumming the Harp

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Child Strumming the Harp

Cumulus, citrus, and altostratus Clouds
Move in and around the harp
In golden, red, and grey, never a tarp
Of lackluster beige, only color that binds

Beauty, innocence to the golden
Haired child, whose tiny
Fingers strum harmony,
Not discord, nor harm shall befall the fallen

Child of the heavens
Whose innocence shines brighter
Than the sun, whose music is louder
For it bares its distinct imprint, beholden

To God for his creations, praising
In gratitude for HIS leniency,
Grace in the abundance of intermingly
Amalgamation of the periphery raising

Awareness of integrity, humility,
Towards a power greater, wiser
Than man, and has his best interest per
Each reprimand is a reason for his temerity.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Pose?

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Pose?

To pose or not to pose?
That’s the question on this day of non-repose.
She stands, elegant,  regal,
Smiling into his chocolaty eyes, fall,
Falling into his soothing pool of love.

The depth of emotions that hiss
And run deeper than any abyss,
This moment in time will never come
Back again, for its novelty’ll dim
But never die in the pyre of time,

It’ll grow and flow into their
Joint lives of adoration as their
Tears of joy and sadness blend
Into sysmic waves that thrashed
Many a couple, but Not them!


Time will try to siphon their
Joint time into darkness,  but their care
Will stomp on time’s vain
Attempt to suck out the rain
Turning it into a melodic refrain.

Review and accolade for my poem,  Say Farewell

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab So many awful things to leave behind, amen! Your repetition of Farewell to these losses, traumas and horrors is both powerful and poignant. You portray them with amazing images and intriguing rhymes. I like how you alter your repetition to speak to hope for change and harmony. Wonderful poem, bravo!! 👏

By: Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Say Farewell

Farewell I say
To another year, slipping
Into yesterday in a blink eying
The world through a backward lense to play

Farewell I say
To war that followed into genocide
Where white phosphorus is a guide
To death that’ll pay and say:

Farewell I say
To colonizers whose dominance
Is nothing but a posturing stance
That rides a high till it lands in grey

Farewell I say
To the muck of horrors that movies
Would fear to display as crazies,
For, to them I lay

My farewell to say:
Leave the people to their freedom
Don’t subjugate, ruin, destroy as you come
To steal resources under cover of pray,

So, say farewell to the grey
Quagmire of losses, trauma that sway
In harmony with nature creating a stray
Wind of change that’ll cross oceans and pray …

Award of Excellence for my poem, Jeweled Darkness

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Jeweled Darkness

Good and evil struggle to outshine
One another, while evil seems
To be winning as it destroys families,
Creates dissertation, addictions that fine

The unity of community for egotism
Reigns superior in darkness
While light’s haven needs fullness
Of discipline imposes on catechism

To succeed at goals that engender
Hope, laughter, lightness of soul
For those with compassionate tool
Of love with oppress evil’s darker,

Fear that’s entrenched in subconscious
Culture that reminds one of their lower
Status in order to stay as the controller
While the victim falls if not for the courageous.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Symphony of Harmony

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Symphony of Harmony

The soft white snow is falling
Blanketing the world in peaceful
Harmony, where jingles soar in joyful
Solidarity, blending hopes, dreams strumming

Words of uniting families and enemies,
Erasing negativity,  murder with the priority
Of funding hope, compassion,  Humanity
As we get together facing dangers in symphonies.

Certificate Award for my poem, Heart’s Dialogue

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Heart’s Dialogue

Oh heart!
If you could speak
What would you say? A beat,
Two, three, a squeak,

A tweet, a butterfly’s wing
Swings in soaring flight
Letting the beats sing
Their song of freedom, bright

Diurnal light shimmers
In flight a beat of harmony
Starting within, speakers
Belt out optimism’s loyalty

To faith, Belief, humanity
Wearing blinders to pressures,
Social, career, imitators, honesty
That seems to be researchers

Of one’s identity in a world
Teaming with too much variety
Of labels that grind and bind
Our conformity into piety,

While the heart stomps
Into a tamtrum of morality
That doesn’t blend but clamps
Its hold, trying to drown your honesty.

Let your heart speak
It won’t steer you in directions
That deepen the morass that’s belak,
Rather to happiness filled adulation.

Review and Certificate of Excellence for my poem, The Syren’s Serenade, by Dominique E. Albano

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab

Your poem, “The Syren’s Serenade,” perfectly captures the essence of the theme “Moonlit Tides.” The moonlit setting and the use of tidal metaphors effectively evoke the idea of powerful emotions and movements.

Here’s a breakdown of your poem:

– The syren’s serenade represents the call of hope and humanity, urging people to take a stand against adversity.
– The moonlit sky and waves create a sense of wonder and beauty, contrasting with the struggles and hardships faced by those in the poem.
– The themes of survival, faith, love, and empathy are woven throughout the poem, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit.


Your poem effectively explores the theme, and the line count is accurate.

Congratulations 👏

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. Mostly, thank you for the critique that demands i raise my writing to a higher level.

The Syren’s Serenade

The syren serenades the waves
To a symphony of tunes that raves
About the moonlit sky filled with stars
Telling stories of outrageous quests

Some for saving loved ones as they traips
Into dangerous mountains, never fails
To entertain, garner emotional travails
Of terror, survival, guilt, regret for losses quails

The strength of faith, Belief in the quests,
Yet, they listen to the serenade of nights
Filled with wild sounds, crackling fires, that fights
The darkness of despair’s hold that blights

Happiness’ divinity that always gladdens
The soul in gratitude for the simple gardens
That grow In eternal darkness within heaven’s
Parade of scintillating beauties that never listens

To the cry of those sailors whose homes
Are all they wish for, for there peace comes
Within the arms of loved ones whose
Love, empathy bind them to the cause,

A cause whose tides rise in the night
But caress the shore In the fight
For taking a stand with humanity
Never resting till peace isn’t wishful thinking.
