Diploma Certificate for my poem: Visible Shadow

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

Visible Shadow

My shadow’s always running,
Flying, skipping, jumping behind
My every move, trying, straining
Vainly to keep up with my bustling.

Hello shadow of mine,
I hope you’re not too tired
From the acrobatics that are a vine
Binding us together, hardened

By our will to stay together.
No, no Tornado, quake, blowing wind
Will ever sever our bond, forever,
Stuck together in the drama of life’s wind.

Oh shadow, tell me what you see,
Hear, and sense that I do not.
Let your tales be my lessons to be
Forgiving, understanding, compassionate.

Oh shadow, our ties are our sacred
Vows of loyalty, honesty that’ll keep us
On the righteous path of being honored,
Understood, respected, and visible without a fuss.

Accolade for my poem: Speedy Skateboard

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

Speedy Skateboard

In his jeans, tee, and baseball cap,
He skates around the city freely,
Going down streets, stairs, jumping fearlessly
Over obstacles, people, pets that hop

Through hoops and loops
Trying to survive a world of violence
That imposes the rule of the jungle, a case
For survival of the fittest, fastest pops

That skitter arrogantly on wheels
Of steel and rubber, faithfully turning,
Eating distances without reading,
As books aren’t what he needs to learn, but feels

That he has to engage in conversation
With neighbors, peers, around parks
Streets, compounds of cement peaks
As he streaks past couples, whose compassion

Lend others a hand when needed,
The elderly who need but a smile,
The children needing games that file
The pressure into a pile of garbage, led

By imagination’s growth through
Piously making use of its power
To creatively solve problem, never cower
As they speed through life in a cue.

Diploma for my writing,  Letter to the Future,

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

Letter to self

Dear Laughter of my Innocence,

I have come to note that my laughter has diminished, and I wonder where it has flown to.  All I can remember is that:

“Laughter, in its purest form,  innocence,  clarity,
Should be revered faithfully as its transience

And its arrival are as tangible as smoke
Clouds dispersed by the lightest breeze.
Savor these moments of piety in the stroke
Of a sizzling laugh and let the memory Freeze.”

Chehab, Malak Kalmoni,  ‘Laughter, Brightens My World’, Perfectly Flawed,  2021.

When I think on all the times I’ve let myself down by ignoring my laugh, I shudder at the wasted time. I will advise that you/me bottle up the laughter of your innocence and bring it out into a world so dark, it needs the cheer of such a joyful sound, to lift it from the quagmire of worries we steep ourselves in.  Join me in laughing away your worries.   Place each worry in a box bound by the sound of your guffaw. It then buries that anxiety for you to look at later,  when you’re calmer, less volatile,  more logical, and can make sounder decisions.  Laughter will always be your savior, whether you use it as your arsenal to make life better is up to you. But know, that today, there are therapies based on Laughter, UNC: course in comedy and ethics, laughing yoga, and laughing martial arts.  Because of that, I wonder why we haven’t excavated this secret earlier.
Fill your heart with joy and let it lead you into a brighter tomorrow.

Your loving future self

Accolade for my poem: Clipity-Clop

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

Clipity- Clop

Itty bitty feet run around
In a clamor of clip-clops
That resonate in echoes that abound
In a round of clapping shrieking pops

That reverberate with laughter
That lightens the heart of burdens
And a heaviness that cower
When faced with the merry melody of laughter.

Let your Itty bitty feet lead,
Lead you into mischief and solve
Your way out of problems that feed
Your will to be cheery when faced by laws above

Of society that set limitations, in isolation,
For some, while others run amuck.
Let your glee flee the deadened quiet of conventions
By proving your worth with mirth that gets you unstuck.

Accolade for my poem: Demon

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work. Mostly, I’d like to thank you for the uplifting critique of my writing.

Demons, to me, are the ones within that need to be silenced as they they represent negativity.  Having the will to overcome its sussurations is harder than achieving any goal needing a particular skill or talent.

Have fun dissing these demons and throwing them into a locked chest, never able to surface again.

Certificate of Appreciation  for my poem:

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

Power of Myths

The Myths of yore continue to be the core
Core of tales galore, that have fantastical,
Fantastical, epic adventures and morals,
Morals that still apply in modern,
Modern society where technology,
Technology, AI are what galvanize,
Galvanize social and ethical conscience,
Conscience of a humanity that’s fallen,
Fallen into depravity, hedonism,
Hedonism of empowering the ego,
Ego that promotes no piety,
Piety for powers greater than yours.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, 

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

Blooming Spring

Bloom, blooming, 
Blossom, blossoming,
Sprout, sprouting,
Live, living.

The greens and burgeoning bushes,
Flowers, and trees are heady bees
Working hard to overthrow Winter’s
Deadly stagnation by flipping switches

That spring with bubbling streams,
Vibrant greens, and flourishing branches
Heavy with new life seeded by birds
And the bees.

How is it that you can see growth
Within the beauty of nature and mouth
Off that you’re an unbeliever in faith
That GOD exists and helps the resurgence

To take place, while beauty that usurps
The dreary with life that cups,
Embraces, and soars into the cusps
Of quiescent delicacy, flawless in its

Need to beautify the world with
Its wondrous fragility, whose growth
Into stupendous strength,
Refreshes your belief in Godly faith.

As spring springs with sublime
Beauty, festivities abound In a crime
Against nature, as man destroys time,
That can’t return, as feasting needs a compromise

For harvesting can asphixiate
The breath in the soil seeking a fate
Of rejuvenation while waiting in a straight
Line, awaiting death’s suffocating blow.

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.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Weddingdress

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

Weddingdress

In a crowd, he’s become her anchor
In a life where anchorage has no harbor,
A refuge after an exhausting day,
She needs her home’s solitude to pray

That loss will be a long way away,
That the ecstasy felt as her weddingdress would flay
In the breeze, sending shivers that play
On her skin, a symphony of beauty that’ll flay

Any difficulties into crumbs, unconsequential
In its ability to destroy the partial
Power of love and faith that are palatial
In overcoming Insurmountable obstacles essential

To the development of morale, ethics,
Which solidify the anchor and home’s
Unity whose dock is the hearts
Divesting their impurities to be combined as ones.

Accolade and Review for my poem: Home of Books

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work. Thank you for the support,  critique, and wonderful reviews

Home of Books

Sitting where books have found a home,
Home where each level is a mirror,
Mirror to an ancient exotic world,
World whose magical depiction,
Depiction of tyrants, kings, nobles,
Nobles who’ve persecuted races,
Races turned into slaves,
Slaves whose musical lyrics,
Lyrics filled with the need for freedom,
Freedom and rebellion against,

….

… ,  but,
But tries to stay steadfast to,
To traditions that hold discipline,
Discipline and ethics striving,
Striving to Revive that books,
Books are a haven,
Haven for the broken soul,
Soul that thirsts for knowledge.
