Malak Kalmoni. Chehab What a beautiful tribute to the feminine! You encourage us to know and appreciate our strengths, our creativity and our innate intuition. Assuring us that we can succeed in any endeavor, you advise that we not give up our dreams for the sake of a salary. Beautifully written, Malak, wonderful images, expressions, rhymes, rhythm, and cohesive development of your theme. I love how you end on the idea of living intuitively and being a seer. We can be the creators of progress! Brilliant poem, Brava! By Linda Powers O’Dell
Women’s Persona
Women, women, winning a whirlwind
Of acceptance by having a variety
Of characters that attract and bind
Society in a kind frame of mind: kindly
Note there are women who love
Unconditionally, protectors’ powers that
Never falter, career oriented who dove
Into the bureaucratic grind having compleat
Skills required to climb the proverbial
Corporate ladder, succeed, surpass
Men in their fields, finding familial
Relations more difficult, while others possess
Creativity, an artistic soul that
Grabs their absolute attention,
But only for short periods, but they cart
Their art into its cave for fermentation
As they live their full lives.
Others, loose their soul to depravity
For their frustrations caused by their dreams
Being forgotten as life demands a salary.
No matter what type you are: woman
Listen to your instincts, persevere,
Prevail, denounce negativity, intuitively run
The marathon of your accolades and be the seer.
