Got a certificate for poet of the month

What notable things happened today?

While receiving this certificate empowers me and motivates me to write more, it doesn’t define me. My writing was used as therapy for my recovery from surgery and expanded from there. I hope that it resonates with my audience and helps them feel less alone in a world that has the need to isolate people by creating labels for them to seperate them from one another.  Through this, they leave little room for compassion and humanity to connect, but divides.

Another thing that made me proud is the fact that I’m getting 1 poem published in an anthology,  and another piece of writing as well. Both are a part of The Unsealed online magazine.

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms including Amazon.  It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023.

Certificate of Achievement for poem: Clipiti- Clop

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.

Certificate of Excellence,  Integrity’s Honesty

INTEGRITY’S HONESTY

Acrostic

Invade your soul with integrity,
Never letting go of honesty,
That’s powered by discipline,
Eternally
Growing your stance, heavenly
Righteously to eliminate
Inferiority, inequality, but supports
The integration of all humanity’s races, Genders, not
Yellowbellies who deceive,
Stab friends in their backs, as they climb

Higher in their careers,  never being
Openly covetous of others, but rather leave a
Niggling discomfiture in their vicinity that’s
Eternal in its prickly presence.
Stand for your ethics
That make you uniquely
You, as it empowers your vitality.

Award of Appreciation: poem, Conformity

Conformity

Education is highly priced so that
Few can achieve its height.

The higher the knowledge you try
To receive the more indoctrinated, bound not to fly

While wisdom’s harmony demands your
Calm acceptance of self and all around who pour

Their spirituality into a fervor for variety
Of life’s changing setting, requiring piety,

Humanity, compassion, empathy, and embrace
The continually altered reality with its grace

In knowing that equilibrium is a must
As the world is based on its crust

That’s unshakable in its strength, as long
As respect is exchanged so we all belong.

Spoken Poetry night with, Petal Projections, poem: Wish for Peace ✌️

The recitation was amazing. As the poem is about peace in P@l3st1ne, and one of the administrators was wearing a shirt with watermelons on it, I asked what it represented. He said it was a symbol of resistance in G@z@. That was my context for my poem, and off I went …

I wish to thank Reem Rizk for creating the platform for us to share our vision of the world by bringing us together. I also want to thank my husband and children for their unwavering support of my writing,  especially my eldest, Fida Chehab,  my editor, and staunchest backer.

Certificate of Appreciation about accepting Mental Health

Voice

I’ll help you express yourself
Using your voice, a unique view of life,
As your brain is wired very distinctly,
Your perception and attention quickly
Alter course, frame a request, chance
Repercussion for speaking, hence,
Your speech, clearly, portrays your views.

Review of my poem: Death’s Door

Each time I get a review like this, it motivates me to write more and connect with those who can’t, or won’t, or couldn’t, or shouldn’t be able to express themselves.

This poem is a result of falling back into past trauma based on the wars that’s taking place in the Middle East, Lebanon, Syria,  and P@l3st!ne.

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms including Amazon.  It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023, and also contains poetry against colonialism and the port explosion in Beirut.
