Accolade and Review for my acrostic poem, TEAM WORK

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab I really enjoyed this unpacking of “team work,” Malak! You capture so many poignant characteristics: the satisfaction of doing one’s best, the compromise of egos, the goals achieved, and best of all, the affirmation that people can be kind as they work together. Wonderful! I wish this poem could be shared everywhere people are collaborating. By Linda Powers O’Dell

TEAM WORK

T esting the limits of your abilities
E njoying the satisfaction of a Job well done
A nother victory for lack of egos
M aintaining the peace among the team

W orking together to achieve
O NE goal: progress and change that
R ejuvenate our hopes and beliefs that
K indness still exists, and humanity is not extinct.

Triple Diamond Certificate for my poem, 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Angel Wings

Her acorn blondish hair frames
Her blue eyed eyes, piercing
In their gaze, all seeing
As her grey wings flutter in rhymes

Whose utter grace have underlying
Silver rays that brighten, coalesce
Atop her heart in blissful radiance
Shining like a star, brilliant in showcasing

Her inner heart filled with humanity,
A hunger for equality that stalls
When faced with impunity that crawls
Inconspicuously, stealthily, stealing

Her ethics, yet, she prevails
Using her empathy, strength
Of will to overcome the killing breath
Of death from peers who quails

From her integrity’s effervescence
She builds her community
Of supports, like minded dwellers, impossibly
Impoverished by their beliefs’ conscience

They empower others and selves
To push forward against trends.

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 Excellence for my poem,  Writing Visions

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Writing Visions

In the depth of autumn’s fury,
The day has a ritulant glow
Encasing her gold tresses in a halo
Of light As she holds her pen, poised, to carry

Her vision of a world filled with cheer,
Shimmering over the river’s shore,
Accepting her peaceful humanity where fear
Is a forgotten feeling that seeps through pore

Flooding away its trauma, building
New communities, integrated with purpose
As she watches addictions evaporating
And discipline, righteousness are the cause

Held dear to all. She keeps her pen
Over the paper, wishing, wishing
That life as she knows it dissipates into a hen-
House, encasing all the negativity and fishing

Out the best of optimism’s cry
That resonates into souls needing to fight.

Review and accolade for my poem,  Fiery Wall

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Almost every line enjambed, lovely consistent rhyme scheme, profound themes, excellent, Malak! This powerful poem speaks so authentically of the historical struggles you reference. How long must the fight against tyranny go on? I love the ironic contrast of the last line, the cycles of shifting power never change. Perhaps we should just tend our gardens. Superb poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Fiery Wall

The wall finally fell in a fiery
Spell when the sorcerer’s blurry
Vision couldn’t allow for it to stand,
Dividing people through the hand

Of varying shades, races whose
Humanity never fades or cease
The opportunities to rebel
Against the status quo,  like the bell

That hides reality in its stout shape,
Ringing loudly to oppress, gape
At dissidents who wish to be seen,
Accepted, not belittled, hated, a screen

Placed to limit their perception
To force the acceptance of perdition
While the authorities using an iron fist,
Stronger than iron, lighter than carbon, a beast

That needs to feel their power
Propagating, never stagnant, rather
Reigning in tyranny, calculating
Loss as as number, inhuman, weakling,

Unknowing that as they cast
Their spell for power, another will fast
Approach, create a coup, found freedom
In an area filled with boredom.

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.

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.

Award of Excellence for my acrostic poem,  IDIOSYNCRASY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

IDIOSYNCRACY

I diotic habits reveal your character
D ive into your idiosyncrasies, unique
I n their ability to convey your thoughts
O ver ideologies, news, politics,
S ystems of economy, integration,
Y ule tidings of compassion, empathy,
N ever ending supply of understanding
C aring for others is our new idiosyncrasy
R evealing our humanity is still
A live and kicking, simple
C are of knowing yourself as human, imperfect
Y et still childish enough to laugh at yourself.

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.
