MOTHER ANGEL MINE
Triple acrostic

Mother’s etrnAl love never fails to
Omit her praise iN family gatherings
To initiate learninG,  coMpetition, compromise
Heavenly sent in hEather Imbued sent to reveal
Every character not Less,  Never less, but
Remember her sunny smile Eternally loving in its simplicity.

Spoken Poetry night with, Petal Projections, poem: Wish for Peace ✌️

The recitation was amazing. As the poem is about peace in P@l3st1ne, and one of the administrators was wearing a shirt with watermelons on it, I asked what it represented. He said it was a symbol of resistance in G@z@. That was my context for my poem, and off I went …

I wish to thank Reem Rizk for creating the platform for us to share our vision of the world by bringing us together. I also want to thank my husband and children for their unwavering support of my writing,  especially my eldest, Fida Chehab,  my editor, and staunchest backer.

Certificate of Appreciation about accepting Mental Health

Voice

I’ll help you express yourself
Using your voice, a unique view of life,
As your brain is wired very distinctly,
Your perception and attention quickly
Alter course, frame a request, chance
Repercussion for speaking, hence,
Your speech, clearly, portrays your views.

Review of my poem: Death’s Door

Each time I get a review like this, it motivates me to write more and connect with those who can’t, or won’t, or couldn’t, or shouldn’t be able to express themselves.

This poem is a result of falling back into past trauma based on the wars that’s taking place in the Middle East, Lebanon, Syria,  and P@l3st!ne.

Certificate of Astounding,  poem: Violence

Violence

When aggression reigns
People’s solidarity feigns
Peace to give rise to new
Violence that undermines a few.

Women and children being
Weaker are in danger of prying
Away their self-worth with words’
Derogatory punches that blows …

Blows that rain down like
A thundstorm of screams that aren’t fake,
But rather, breaks ensue
That take eons to heal in a pew.

Escape is sometimes the only
Way to endure this period of powerfully
Oppressive and subjugated conditions
That requires succor from the perfections

Of a society whose aim is self-preservation,
And where victims of violence live in perdition.

Certificate of Appreciation

The honor of my writing,  poetry, and being recognized by administrators of poetry groups and editors for literary magazines continues to leave me breathless.  It motivates me to stand by my beliefs, morals, emotions,and ability to express them all in my own way. Yes, getting an acceptance from a literary magazine is much more difficult,  but I will soldier on by being innovative in my perspective and analogies.

Love / Hate

How do you feel about cold weather?

I love cold weather on the condition that the heating system isn’t on too high that I sweat everywhere I go. I also love the white winter scenery when snow covers the ground in a white coat of innocence.  However,  I also hate how dirty a house becomes from melting snow, salt, slush, and mud.
