Poetry for ChangeHow are you feeling right now?
I’ve had an amazing week with one of my poems being published in an anthology, Unsealed Your Greatness (Link: https://amzn.to/47RpSFt), another got an honorable mention, had my 30th wedding anniversary, and writing book reviews for Canadian Authors. So, I feel in my element, reading, writing, creating, and loving it!
How do you waste the most time every day?
My first love is reading. I’m a junkie for all types of romances, poetry, news, and the Quoraan. The first 2 are there to improve my writing style and incorporating new forms into my poetry. The news, however, I use in order to add eco-socio-political issues in my poetry.
Now, your question would be, how are the readings then a waste of time? My answer is that they all give me an escape, a world that I interact with that’s entirely mine. Perhaps it’s selfish, but I believe each one serves a purpose for me.
As for the Quraan, that too is an escape into faith, where belief, ideals, and values are unchanging, clear, and just. At least, that’s my perspective.
Then books are a part of your life, reading and writing a necessity of life, and you can’t have enough of either.
I came across this caricature and couldn’t help but share it! It’s so me!
Reading of ‘Fearful Expectations’ from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed. It’s about paralyzing fear that binds you in a place of terror. Courage of only one who overcomes it and moves on.

Reading ‘Silent Chaos’, a poem from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed.
It’s about one’s ability to forget the world is there and focus on your inner-self’s need to be in a quiet place where your imagination can flow and bloom.

A poem read by Malak Kalmoni Chehab from her poetry book, Perfectly Flawed.
It’s about how believers don’t need proof of God’s existence, others do.
