3rd Place, Certificate of Excellence for our collaboration poem, 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Title – Orphans of War

Orphaned children of war,
Are hungry for peace that’ll crease
Away the trauma that resides, never sees
The light after wounds, amputations that are core

To surviving the war. As children
Whose childhood was decimated
By loss, parents, safety, laughter, loved,
Replaced by uncertainty, confusion, a burden

To those who survived with them, unable
To function in a world where war
Is the norm, peace is a broken contract far
From the ideals of humanity that are incomparable.

©️ Malak kalmoni chehab


Debashrita Basu

Wars are nothing but a destruction of humanity
Loss of kindness, sympathy and love
Domination of a power over the world
Killings of many innocent women and children

Many physical scars are there
But psychological scars will never be decreased
It will destroy the innocence of children
Who are the victims of wars

Orphans of wars
Become victims of permanent fear and anxiety
Their sufferings are equal to God’s sufferings
Their pain means a lot.

Accolade for my poem,  Secrets of the Bear

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Secrets of the Bear

A dirty stuffed white bear
Thrown, thrown with the blue
Garbage bags haphazardly bare
The signature of disowning the few

Possessions that have lived
Through childhood’s changes
As growing is synonymous to dispossessed
Of imagination’s flow in ages

Where a bear’s innocent eyes
Bare witness to catastrophic
Events, from divorce, to cries
Of violence, to bombs that are cathartic

In their release of pent up emotions
That only the innocent bear perceives
And gives succor where hidden sensations
Are incubated within this cuddly stuffies

Innocently hidden for years
Before the child feels strong enough
To survive without his secret prayers’
Confidant who seems to be rough

Around the edges, but still soft
To the touch as he imparts comfort
In the imprisoned loft
Where tears poores out in the fort

Of his making, where secrets
Are hidden,  trauma rises, pain
Transmute into rivers of bloody tests
Overcome with faith, ethics enliven

The soul with power
Suffusing limbs, heart
To be stronger
And live longer, healthier.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Foundation of Love

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Foundation of Love

What comes out of love?
From love, all creation is born, as you rove
On this earth in search for more, from cove

To plain, to desert, to mountain top
You run in search for its root, and hop
To its tune, rhythm, rhyme to feed the soul that sop

Of identity, compassion, humanity,
That intermingle, intertwine, two souls of purity
Bound together to infinity.

Not as possession, not a claim, rather
Emotions that run the gamut from fear,
Pain, disillusionment, cheer, joy, all clear

As they mend the broken parts of each
Font of pleasure that surmount the bunch
Of negativity that oppresses like a crunch

Yet, love, its golden halo of purity
Engulfs the two in a hug transcending timely
Obstacles, turning them into change powerfully

Entwining lives into a single soul
Whose only goal
Is addressing the plunder of love’s bowl.

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.

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.

Double Gold Certificate for my poem, Boomy Guitarist

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Boomy Guitarist

Her golden tresses frame a face
Filled with love’s faerie rhythm, grace
Embued the wind, a caress in a place

Where turbulent emotions soar
Unchecked, tempestuous, a roar
For help is put in place to aspire

For love to unfold in their breast
Sharing the volcanic crest
Assuaging pain with beauty’s behest

That arises from the boomy guitar
Whose notes, crisp, complex, flex on par
With the tsunami that resides on the far

Reaches of the shore, where the guitarist,
Whose antiquated clothing embrace the list
Of greavances his melody embodies, a fist

That punches out enemies of respite
With harmonic overtones that spite
Despair with a punch projection of flight.

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.

5th Place for my poem,  Cradled Baby

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Cradled Baby

Look at that child smiling in his crib,
Unbeknownst to him his importance,  never glib,
He speaks when his mother couldn’t
Defend herself, protecting her reputation that shouldn’t

Have been in question, GOD giveth
When he pleases, and His pleasure’ breath
Give birth to a miracle child, carrying
The sins of humanity without complaining,

His resolve, strength of belief still
Affect people today,  although division may kill
Each other, while he preached peace,
Generosity, forgiveness, compassion that never cease

To assuage the burdens, stress
Of those who follow his teachings, flawless
In their discipline in everlasting values
That keep communities united in varied hues.

Wake us up to your harmony, a symphony
Filled with blessed peace not a cacophony
Of brittle minds, unbending as they face
Change with a blackened heart turned to grace.

Certificate Award for my poem,  Staying Power

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Staying Power

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration
Of words in rhyme and rhythm?
A world of poetic devices, accommodation
Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?

What’s a love story
If not one that it has a start,
Climax, and end that’s happy or gory?
Where pink tinted Glasses reflect

The author and audiences
Need to escape life’s duties, stresses
That place tremendous pressures
On couples needing one anothers happiness’s

Without needing to compromise
Or putting in the hard work required.
‘What’s love?’, in that case?
That’s the staying power of being loved,

Loved for yourself,
Loved for your strengths, weaknesses,
Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf,
As your greatest power shines in smiles

That never dim while facing despair,
Despair That the bridge you’ve created
Can fall if your efforts only stare
Rather than repair the damage to be blessed.

Blessed by sharing love
With those of your inner circle
Who’ve proven loyal in grave
Circumstances while never living in a pickle.

The enchantment of poetic words
Lies in the esthetic that builds bridges
Between enemies, frenemies,  lords
Of your hearts, whose presence is in poetic cages.

Diploma Certificate  for my poem, Unbridgable Differences

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Unbridgable Differences

Their heartfelt embrace broke
With the quaking ground that tore, tore
Them apart and flooded the chasm that spoke
Of differences, unbridgable, a core, core

So radically divergent from the other
That rickety, flimsy slats bound, bound
By fraying ropes fall short to cover
The water separating a union found, found

In red’s passionate shroud dissipating
In a cloud of vapor where souls, souls
Soar into the ritulant sunset, grasping
For one another in a spiritual stroke of ghouls

Whose envy, susurations, capitulation
To pressures of a world of depravity, depravity
That bolsters disunity when coordination
And sacrifice would have paved a byway, byway

To an enduring love where spirits
And passion meet on a plane, plane
Of convergence, compassion whose flights
Soar with imagination into utopia’s crane, crane.

Slumbering passively on such power
Of love’s adulation is a great loss, Loss
To both parties and society for the coffer
Than holds sacred bonds collapse, collapse.
