3rd Place for my poem, Reflection in the Mirror

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Reflection in the Mirror

Her hazel eyes look into the mirror,
What she sees is a wonder.
In the reflection, ‘La Vie en Rose’
Covered with a pinkish screen as she pose.

She lifts her hand, extends her index,
Grazes across the glittery surface, that’s a fox,
Wily and intent on showing her only
Beauty, utopia, family, and community,

Trying haughtily to impose a vision
Of fidelity, that’s as rotten a passion
As Eve’s apple; who thought it would
Impower her with Knowledge, Immortality

When, in reality, it highlighted her
Faults and sexuality through a picture
Of nudity and immorality.
Her curiosity, pride were her downfall from all heavenly.

The gorgeous woman’s gaze turned
Inward, subconscious awareness aged
With centuries of data, she becomes
Cognizant of the struggles of generations

That tried not to give her her power.
The power of a woman that’ll never
Let pride, shame, sex be the means used
For her destruction that stays unpardoned.

She’s swiftly swung into a new
Path, where women are revered, as few
Are, for their strengths, nurturer,
Culture, and self-awareness that is a propeller

Into an age of her distinction, acceptance,
Integration, and sociopolitical presence.
A long journey whence she grew
Out of a subjugation in a pew.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Fall Sunset

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab How exuberant, Malak, a glorious ode to the joy of autumn! It’s wonderful how you encourage the reader to fly free, to be adventurous, rejuvenated. That’s a lovely irony since spring is typically invoked. Then you inspire us to become a brightening star like the sun and to be lighthearted, not to melt and burn, but to brighten the world in liberating fun. Your entire poem has the most wonderful feeling of a rising sun, the “flame of life.” By Linda Powers O’Dell

Fall Sunset

The flaming sun burnishes the sky
With reds and oranges
Spilling over tree tops
Like  a flame of life; let go and Fly!

Fly like the falling leaf strewn
Into an adventure to adorn
The grounds with its fragility
Rejuvenation and transiency.

Fly into the rutilant shine,
Shining brighter than the setting
Or rising sun, know that you’re fine
And unequivocally a star brightening

Those around you with greater
Influence, power than any sun
Whose heat melts those closer,
While you, you brighten the sphere for fun.

Certificate of Excellence for my acrostic poem, WHISPER

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic
WHISPER

Whistling whispers that
Have a holding effect on hearts
Imploding with impossible passions
Subliminal susurations sizzling in
Promises provoquing powerful feeling
Embedded in empires of whispered words
Replying to curiosity currently conversing quietly.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Joy’s Ingenuity

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Joy’s Ingenuity

What’s creation if not joy?
Joy bundled in a swath of cotton,
Cotton, silky soft on delicate skin,
Skin of a babe just born,
Born out of joy, passion, love,
Love creates infinite possibilities,
Possibilities that’re positive habits,
Habits that build on cheer’s ploy,
Ploy that humbles man Whose ingenuity,
Ingenuity builds the impossible,
Impossible is always possible,
Possible when joy and creation are linked,
Linked at the hip for best results,
Results that blindside you with their power,
Power that’s breathtaking in nature.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Love’s Poetry

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin

Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws

Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook

Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,

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

Betrayal’s Ease

Shattered! Shattered mirror on the wall,
Tell me the tale of this broken heart,
Heart that was given in good faith, fall
From its bubble of joy unbound, ’till It start

Seeing a change in behavior
From her once loving spouse.
It started with little things, later
Home arrivals, short temper, grouse

As though she hasn’t accomplished
Her duties: caring for kids, perfecting
The art of home management, all his favored
Dishes made, all’s organized, unspoiled

Respect for his need to rest
After a strenuous day of work,
Not unlike hers,  but does hers count?
You might ask. The answer is, it’s all work!

Then, she finds a jeweler’s receipt,
Waits several days to receive the gift,
But nothing comes of it except pain that leapt
Creating doubt, dishonor,  hurt, she feels like a thrift

For her only treasures from him now
Are the angels asleep as she worries
What’s next.  He comes home with undies
In his pant pocket. She recognizes

The brand, of course,  it’s not hers!
She decides to shelve her negative
Assumptions,  deciding to give another’s
Chance to either talk about it or walk away to live

Without her beauty, compassion, freshness,
Empathy that come in her brand of flair,
A flair that’s still attractive, needing caress
That’ll alleviate what presses the air

Out of chocking lungs that can’t breathe
From the devastating betrayal that doesn’t ease.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Rainbow of Rain

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rainbow of Rain

Rainbowed love starts
In red hot passions
To orange hearts expanding,
To yellow glow brightening
The green of acceptance, change,
And growth whose prosperity
Turns into liquid blues,
Those of summer skies
Filled with potential of rains
That alter fallow lands
Into plentiful harvests.
The same as love’s abilities
To change others from singles
To a unit that expands
With the colors of rainbows
That are always varied,
Exiting changes that carried
Your worries under two mind
Supporting one another in a find
Filled well of love that carries
Change like loving swaddles
Embraced in four arms of loves.
The journey begins with a meeting,
Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting,
But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating
All your hopes, then, them entwining
Like the purple wisteria, two souls
Becoming one, growing a family that cools
Their stresses, soothes their anger,
As their flow is like the ocean water,
At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls
That end in making up sessions, falls,
Never, for they’re committed
To one another, wedded.
