radiance – Poetry for Change

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Angel Wings

Her acorn blondish hair frames
Her blue eyed eyes, piercing
In their gaze, all seeing
As her grey wings flutter in rhymes

Whose utter grace have underlying
Silver rays that brighten, coalesce
Atop her heart in blissful radiance
Shining like a star, brilliant in showcasing

Her inner heart filled with humanity,
A hunger for equality that stalls
When faced with impunity that crawls
Inconspicuously, stealthily, stealing

Her ethics, yet, she prevails
Using her empathy, strength
Of will to overcome the killing breath
Of death from peers who quails

From her integrity’s effervescence
She builds her community
Of supports, like minded dwellers, impossibly
Impoverished by their beliefs’ conscience

They empower others and selves
To push forward against trends.

Certificate of Excellence, 1rst place, for my poem, Starlight

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. A review of the poem by Erica

The poem “Starlight” by Malak Kalmoni Chehab fits perfectly with the theme “Cosmic Musings”! The poem beautifully explores the symbolism of starlight, using it as a metaphor for hope, optimism, and confidence.

There are 12 lines in the poem. Well done, Malak Kalmoni Chehab!

Some potential strengths of the poem include:

1. *Imagery*: The use of vivid descriptions like “bright living stars,” “shimmering wonder,” and “shooting star” effectively evokes the celestial theme.
2. *Emotional resonance*: The poem explores the emotional impact of starlight, conveying a sense of hope and optimism.

The poem’s message about finding confidence and strength in the symbolism of starlight is inspiring.

Congratulations 👏

Starlight

The darkened night sky is populated
By bright living stars that brightened
All our nightmares, giving us the radiance
That bundles us in a cocoon of confidence.

Such shimmering wonder shines into your soul,
Adding hope, optimism, an irrefutable scowl
That repudiates all pessimism, darkness,
And the need to succumb to its insidious whispers.

The murmur of such powers is devastating
If not fenced and bound. Placing
It in a securely locked chest, that is impossible,
To open when your will inters it with all that’s enjoyable.

Revere the wondrous effect of shooting star
That lightens your burdens and shines a spotlight
Upon all that’s good, wondrous, loving, bright,
And endlessly supporting your strengths from within.
