Accolade for my poem,  Double Rainbow

Thank you for the accolade and your hard work.

Double Rainbow

Rainbows around the world have hope
Tethered to their appearance after storms
That hit unexpectedly, yet their shine comes
With brilliance as they obliterate upheavals, you cope

With daily routines that dull your cheer,
Yet, when a double rainbow appears,
Double the gifts simultaneously, become freer
As worries dissipate like vapor without fears

They might return for beauty casts
A shadow of splendor coated in a Golden
Sheen, a treasure of unparalleled pasts
That throw away their appreciation of being beholden

To beauty that revives our belief that
Life should be appreciated every moment
For it’s gone the next, or anxious despair  that
Coat your soul with a monstrous blight:

An evil trying to seep your wonder
Into depravity, an evil whose darkness
Places an endless abyss, never
Grace, within that devours turning you helpless.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Nepotism’s Destruction

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Nepotism’s Destruction

The poisoned apple can snuff a life
Without a qualm, either slowly or fast,
It still kills without remorse, as strife,
Stress, and negativity are all a test

To be overcome or death is not rest,
It creates gossip’s unrest in negativity,
Whose a pest greater than any disease that’ll crest
And fall as nature accommodates its biology

To fight Its contagion. Yet, it’s still
Easily deposed if positivity takes hold,
Rises to the fore, a brilliant grace of will
That’s unincumbered by all that’s depressed

Into a well of darkness that’s hell
When faith, Belief, and optimism
Are the test that help you ring the bell
That destoys negativity’s Nepotism.

SMILE

Smile= Logo

Personality = Business Card

Others Feel = Your  Trademark

This quote from women supporting women is a modern business model to be followed with honesty, if and only if you believe it to be true; and I do. When you smile in the face of adversity while surrounded by those with frowns and aggression, you show the epitome of someone in control, logical, and can make decisions at the hardest times. Your smile, to me, introduces your personality, which shows the world a facet of who you are: positive, optimistic, problem solver, and cognitive thinker. At the same time, your smile puts people at ease, makes them react more calmly, smile back, think positively instead of with anger, and always makes the other feel better.

So, SMILE, and don’t let anyone convince you that smiling is for the ignorant. No, it’s a tool, wielded correctly in this social quagmire we live in, and will always have a positive outcome.

‘Smile and life will smile back at you,’ is an Arabic saying that is cognizant of Karma. In my opinion, it summarizes the above quotation in simpler terms.

Exert from, ‘Belief’s Immortality ‘, my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed

https://www.amazon.ca/Perfectly-Flawed-poetry-Malak-Kalmoni/dp/1525582518

“… there’s toughness, impregnability, optimism,
That resonate and endure your ability to smile
When the world within and out are depraved,
Depressing, and contrive to oust your faith’s vigor.”

Holding my baby

Describe one of your favorite moments.

I waited 9 months to meet her. Through my swollen belly, cramps, hot flashes, sweats, and excruciating pain, I finally got to hold her, Fida is her name. She’ll be 29 at the end of August, but the second she was placed in my arms, she became all mine. Her smell, her tiny fingers, toes, arms, tummy, diapers, and sweet voice. Even when she cried, she was quiet, calm, and too cute for her own good. She made me a mother, teacher, friend, mentor, who surpassed her loving mother.

That moment is still ingrained in my heart and mind. I take it out when I’m down, peruse the happiness, joy, fear, and the miracle of birth, and know that the world will make a positive turn, in which it will revere the family unit, it’s simplicity and loyalty.

Twilight’s Darkened Light

The night’s fading darkness
Is illuminated by filaments that glimmers
With piercing reddish hues
Into a horizon of fading darkened blues.

With each touch of brilliant light
The scenery is transformed,  bright
As a white pigeon in heightened flight,
Soaring, like Icarus, too near the sun’s slight

Heat that tenderly caresses its feathery
Wings across all living things, bravely
Broaching the new day optimistically,
Knowing that man’s destruction will invariably

Alter the breathtaking beauty of sunrise,
Twisting its vibrancy into shades
Of grey, colorless, and lifeless,
As everything becomes hopeless.

Let each new day be your oath
To be stronger than the sun’s breadth,
As you emulate its depth
Of strength that reigns above all stealth.

Timely Moon

Moon, moon, moon,
Rise! Rise! Rise, asking for a boon!

Look up into the lover’s moon,
Its shiny disc sneakily covers a heady
Darkening sky, envading its gloomy melancholy.

Strip the colorless night,
Let its beauty shine and fight
Against its enveloping burdens and light
The heavens with the flamboyance of flight.

Right or wrong, the prodigal
Moon rises, illuminates its methodological
Muse, news, knowledge, that are all in a chronical
That recites events, times, and all epidemiological
Situations that alienate all that’s human and emotional.

The time of night is now!
Fill it with dreams that ever flow!
With perseverance, time that’ll have them landing in a glow.

Review of my poem Labyrinth



Life is full of predicaments,
Labyrinths are the only road available.
Line your car with gas that spars
Long with the deadly turns that are viable.

Longing for straightforward success,
Laying out your failures that press.
Limp around giving a guess
Looking forward to new life that’s not less.

Legends are complex and teach
Loyalty and friendship, but suppress
Liars that generate a great reach
Leaving them as villains that squeals.

Light up your life with loyals
Living through difficulties and prove
Logical in their enterprises
Letting the faithful mind make a move.

Flowers for Moi!

Me, myself, and I

Received these beauties!

The colors are rejuvenating,

The smell is precious,

The thought, sender, is stupendous.

A flower has the power

Never to cower

But to spread its petals, languorous.

Its infinite patience glamorous.

Its fragility’s nothing short of faithful,

Its colors vibrant and bashful,

While its scent lodges in your mind.

Knowing memories are easier to find.

Creating and sending such a bunch

Is always a thoughtful hunch.

Cowardly Courage

“Man has it all in his hands, and it all slips through his fingers from sheer cowardice.” Fyodor Dostoevsky

To be a coward,

One must:

Fear being changed,

Fear loving it,

Fear beauty,

Fear being hopeful,

Fear the inspirational,

Fear of being an individual,

Fear of being assertive,

Fear of being humane,

Fear of being disruptive,

Fear of being positive.

When all is locked in a chest,

How can you break its best

From solid bonds that need a rest?

Take pride in ‘you’, the ‘person’,

Have faith in yourself and press on,

Knowing that what’s right will live on!
