Review and Accolade for my tanka poem,  Contentment

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab What a charming and profound tanka! How true it is, the laughter of children can be a balm for any broken soul. You’ve created a wonderful progression of ideas, Malak. The first line sets your theme; we are ready to feel peace. Then happiness is followed by its cause, the sparkling eyes of kids and their laughter. The feeling of brokenness is soothed by coming last. This progession is elegant and sophisticated. Wonderful poem! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Tanka

Contentment

Peace falls in your heart
As you look on happiness
In the eyes of kids
Whose laugh is a balm on your
Broken soul needing soothing.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, What If?

What an honor!

What If …

What if war was a warm wreathe
Filled with colors that please?

What if snow’s icy feel was velvety
Warm and inspires healing coldly?

What if humanity hummed a hymn
Filled with hope, harmony haunting grim?

What if there is only acceptance,
Understanding, friendship, peace?

What if your entourage were supportive
And fulfilled its quotient of depression’s curative?

What if the sky and seas became
One, melding colors, baking but grim?

What if the mountains and valleys
Came together in a crash of ash and clays?

What if the living and dead walk
The earth together,  what will they about talk?

What if you’re born an adult, regress
Into babyhood, then die as a baby’s bless?

What if black were white, and white
Were black, how would dichotomy be a plight?

What if time leapt back to lack technology,
Would humanity still have posterity?

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Oh Love …

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Theme: #PhraseOfLove
Oh Love ….

Oh love, your mere existence is never
Forgotten, once it is, then all is lost.
For love makes the world run in a fever
Of passion that plagues the heart, a post
For all to share its importance that not gross
Rather it gives calm, peace that’s always boss.

Certificate of Excellence for my acrostic poem,  PEACEFUL

Thank you for the honor and your hard work

PEACEFUL

Perfect purity is putty, muddy
Endlessly being turned into war
Anchoring evil doers in thrones of power
Carnivorous in their cruelty, heinous
Evil activity that needs to be repudiated
Far into a cave to emprison them so the
Umbrella of peaceful camaraderie that
Lent humanity a community of unity.

Accolade and Review for my poem, War’s Victories

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Wow, Malak, a double acrostic, these are not easy and yours is fantastic! Not precisely an acrostic as the ending words don’t always begin with the beginning letter of the line, but I find this to be an exciting innovation. Your vocabulary and images are so stirring, quite emotionally moving! Throughout, you are calling poignantly for peace, for a symphony of souls united. If only all would renounce violence, the “constant and cacophony of death!” Superb poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Double Acrostic
WAR’S VICTORIES

Wallowing in War’s endless cycle of       laW
Amplifyies the voices of victors who      stAnd
Reviewing their accomplishments of destRuction
Steal the visuals of those combating for Survival

Villains of evil violence stand as their      Vision
Issues a constant cacophony of death    Instead of
Carefully striving towards a lasting    peaCe
Tasting its victory as murder is               sTopped
Outlasting the carnage into a        symphOny of
Rousing screams, strikes,                 congRegations
Intermixing races, religions, absolute harmonIes
Eternally standing together pledging symEtry,
Symphony around the victories of peaceS

Review for my poem.,  Spiritual Union’s Courage

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab
A bold and thought-provoking piece that highlights courage and empathy, portraying shared humanity through acts of sacrifice and unwavering solidarity. ✨  By, Nazmieh W. E. Insaniyat


Spiritual Union’s Courage

Greta Thunberg and many others
Have navigated treacherous waters
Taking the Freedom Flotilla II, to
Alleviate hunger at the hand of genocides crew

Whose sole purpose is eradicating
Natives to steal their lands hoping
That their resistance would be short-lived,
Yet, it has lasted 26 months unchecked.

For Great, Rima Hassan their futile
Attempt landed them in the same file
As those to be saved, prison,  torture
Like no other. That didn’t deter their flight
To sweep to the rescue people they don’t

Know, but empathize with their plight,
Knowing the fight is a historic statement
Of courage, spiritual union, and strength
To dive into danger for others’ breath.

Diploma for my poem, Gentle Core

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. Here’s to applying the wish into reality: living without war.

Gentle Core

Look, look upon the Azure blue sea
It shines brilliantly of hope for all to see,
No storms, battles, violent death mar
Its crystalline shores with dismantled bodies, far
From blemish free for purity, innocence

That need to flourish in childish
Wonder, grow their curiosity without polish
So their imagination is catapulted
Into the stratosphere of flight, never endangered
For war is a foreign concept without gore

They thrive on challenges galore
That make a humongous score
Into inventions, creations that never bore,
Using them To improve life’s spore
That’s harvested with gentle kindness of the core.

Accolade for my poem,  Holiday’s Glow

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Holidays’ Glow

Diamonds glitter in her ears, studs of stars
Shining brighter than the moon,
Pearls adorn her neck, snowwhite flakes bares
The city scape in a romantic glow, flown

With the wind of time as another
Holiday season, decorated to impress,
Flies by with a peaceful blanket of snow, a cover
Of harmony, calm flow of steady
Snowfall dropping on her jeweled
Hair and neck, icy cold, bright gold, fluffy,
Velvety feel like a mother’s hug, hold,

Love, eternal in its giving grace
As she too, with time falls down
As we grow old while youth’s stately
Presence melts like the snow shown

At its season dissipates, replaced
By spring’s colors, warmths, brilliant
Colors that shine brighter than diamond’s encased
In a vine wrapped in wine on a neck, elegant

Never gaunt but sparkles and haunts
Memories as transient as the snowflake
That touches, melts, becomes water, a font
Of changes just her her stylish break.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Symphony of Harmony

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Symphony of Harmony

The soft white snow is falling
Blanketing the world in peaceful
Harmony, where jingles soar in joyful
Solidarity, blending hopes, dreams strumming

Words of uniting families and enemies,
Erasing negativity,  murder with the priority
Of funding hope, compassion,  Humanity
As we get together facing dangers in symphonies.

5th Place for my poem,  Cradled Baby

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Cradled Baby

Look at that child smiling in his crib,
Unbeknownst to him his importance,  never glib,
He speaks when his mother couldn’t
Defend herself, protecting her reputation that shouldn’t

Have been in question, GOD giveth
When he pleases, and His pleasure’ breath
Give birth to a miracle child, carrying
The sins of humanity without complaining,

His resolve, strength of belief still
Affect people today,  although division may kill
Each other, while he preached peace,
Generosity, forgiveness, compassion that never cease

To assuage the burdens, stress
Of those who follow his teachings, flawless
In their discipline in everlasting values
That keep communities united in varied hues.

Wake us up to your harmony, a symphony
Filled with blessed peace not a cacophony
Of brittle minds, unbending as they face
Change with a blackened heart turned to grace.
