Accolade for my poem, Women’s Persona

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab What a beautiful tribute to the feminine! You encourage us to know and appreciate our strengths, our creativity and our innate intuition. Assuring us that we can succeed in any endeavor, you advise that we not give up our dreams for the sake of a salary.  Beautifully written, Malak, wonderful images, expressions, rhymes, rhythm, and cohesive development of your theme. I love how you end on the idea of living intuitively and being a seer. We can be the creators of progress! Brilliant poem, Brava! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Women’s Persona

Women, women, winning a whirlwind
Of acceptance by having a variety
Of characters that attract and bind
Society in a kind frame of mind: kindly

Note there are women who love
Unconditionally, protectors’ powers that
Never falter, career oriented who dove
Into the bureaucratic grind having compleat

Skills required to climb the proverbial
Corporate ladder, succeed, surpass
Men in their fields, finding familial
Relations more difficult, while others possess

Creativity, an artistic soul that
Grabs their absolute attention,
But only for short periods, but they cart
Their art into its cave for fermentation

As they live their full lives.
Others, loose their soul to depravity
For their frustrations caused by their dreams
Being forgotten as life demands a salary.

No matter what type you are: woman
Listen to your instincts, persevere,
Prevail, denounce negativity, intuitively run
The marathon of your accolades and be the seer.

Golden Pen Award, Accolade and Review for my poem, Diet

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Fantastic poem, Malak! Counting calories is hell! This poem is an excellent indictment of how we allow ourselves to be brainwashed by cultural norms, thus setting ourselves up to be victimized by crass marketeers of fraud. You as poet do proffer the hope that we may be awakened, enlightened by love, but that too often turns out  to be a fairy tale. You raise such profound questions.To what extent are we shaped by stories and expectations? How free are we when we are so susceptible to cultural influences. You’ve created gut wrenching, powerful images and some wonderful scattered rhymes: hen/pen/wren, refrain/brainwashed, flees/deep, etc..Hurray!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Your poem is a masterclass in satire, Malak Kalmoni Chehab perfectly captures the endless cycle of dieting with such finesse, the way you weave words is truly creative. By, Ritu Shyam

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Diet

Diet shmyiet, what a gross lie it
Is told to men and women
To market
Products, tasteless, gross hen

Where the pen is the dieter’s
Wren speaking in a singsong
Refrain to honor the brainwashed
Who follow like Lambs to the slaughters

As they count calories,
Exercise till exhaustion flees
Into Snow White’s deep sleeps
To be woken, only, by love’s

Kiss, a fairytale designed,
Like the diet, shmiyet, to inculcate
A perception of self that changed
With trends of beauty’s fate.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Women’s Wars

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Women’s Wars

Wars have always been about expansion,
Glorifying the ‘self’, stealing resources,
Empowering through the subjugation
Of the ‘other’ by binary opposition that courses
Through blood, and ‘elevates’ their superiority to deity.

From the Silk Road, to the Spice Road,
To the Swez Canal, White Sea, Ben Gurion,
All show the need for exclusivity for the broad
Perception of ‘Civilizing’. What a crock gone
Down the clock into eternal sleep. Happy.

For each critical endeavor, conquest,
Women rally the people, organize,
Fight, rebel, strive to keep morale, at best,
Alive within the hearts of people to strategize
Survival and the compulsion to resist oppression.

As the flowers bloom, so does the woman’s
Need to resist being lumped in a category
That she knows she doesn’t belongs
To, but rather asserts her judicial equality
In a society that’s still a patriarchy.

Her freedom, imposed by GOD,
Is taken away by men  of power
Who fear her rejuvenating strength that plod
Without thought to health or happiness,  yet a teacher
Of infinite power that blends, supports, those weaker.
