I’m always supremely honored when this accolade is given. I love reading other poets’ writing as it gives me a greater connection to different cultures, perspectives, and metaphors. This keeps our personal critiques alive.

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent extended metaphor, Malak, with powerful alliteration that roars like a mighty river! You explore so many ways in which life is like a flowing river. Childhood memories, regrowth and change, beauty and laughter, connecting with loved ones, all are reflected in the rush of waters you ride. Bravo!! 👏 by: Linda Powers O’Dell
Thank you for the review and accolade, it’s an honor.
River of Life
The river is an allegory for life It is at times smooth as glass, Clear as a bell, strong enough to sand rocks Into the smoothest silky textures. It’s teamed with life, as different species Live and let live, while others, more dangerous, Hunt, dessimate, and devour their preys.
It isn’t enough to see that rivers allegate To all that is portrayed in life, Rather one needs to be aware that cycles In nature are imitations of human life.
The strong prey on the weak, Large numbered populace impose their belief, Rather than understanding one another, Exchanging respect and help to survive The difficulties that life’s cyclones Throw your way to test your will, powers Your unity, compassion, empathy, and loves.
