Accolade and Review for my poem,  Home?

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent use of hypophora, Malak! You use profound questions to focus attention on the nature of home and the uncertainty of the future. Your amazing and touching personal narrative is so poignant and adds great beauty to this poem. Your deep experience justifies your admonition, “Embrace the joy you’re given,/For tomorrow may bring hell or heaven.”  Superb poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Home?

Where is home?
What is home?

These questions circle
Ceaselessly and kindle

The quest for answers for:
Where and what is home for?

I’ve immigrated to three
Continents searching for thee.

Why do you hide from me?
Why do you flee and oblige me

To search you out in lands gone mad?
How is that fair on a child who feels bad?

From the tropics, to the Mediterranean,
To North America, in search of what you mean.

The child in me
Misses the simplicity of love,

Laughter that is innate,
But shaken with wars and fate,

That take away all joy and faith
In a moment of stolen breath.

Embrace the joy you’re given,
For tomorrow may bring hell or heaven.

Diamond Certificate for poetic Excellence for my poem, The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In a uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows, and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit on wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life’s bliss rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the seasons blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe

As Memories sway in the waves to freeze
In a captured picture to rest like bees in trees.

Certificate of Award for my poem, Poetry or Prose

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Prose or Poetry


As the rhythms and rhymes coalesce
Into a scintillating verse in singsong of fierce
Flame that add alliteration,  allusion,  in force
Of short spurts of words whose meaning will pierce
The heart with its metaphor, repetition,
That stress the value of the description

While poor prose uses some fancy
Word position to turn words into fantasy,
But they lack the harmony
Of simplicity and greater interpretation
As the reader of the poem has his vision
As well as the poets meld into their imagination

That continuously changes with
The reader, context, and their amalgamation.

Award of Excellence for my poem,

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work

Man’s Rejuvenation

The garden begins beautifying bloom
As the birds start tweeting harmony’s tune
Waking all nature from its dormant time
Into a rainbow of brightness In June
That destroyed depression as nature’s
Beauty envelopes symphony’s prayers
Lifting soul from morass of stagnation.

Its simple beauty reigns supreme over
All that man turns complex When it’s simple
Pleasures around are enjoyed better
When all is shared with loved ones, whose ample
Support surrounds us in a balm of peace
As contemplation of beauty helps fleece
Negative into positivity.

Certificate of Outstanding for my poem, Sea’s Sunset

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.

Sea’s Sunset

The clouds climb high, like mountains
In the sky, some are smaller and stains
The sky, like a painter, with red, pink, blue,
Orange that coalesce Into a darkened view

Of immeasurable beauty of the setting sun
Burning the sky’s clouds with its breath that’ll run
Over the setting sun with a scenic beauty
Unparalleled by any ‘Man’, for the creator, wisely

Intensifies the pull to nature
So that it increases our faith’s cure
For depression, stress, anxiety
That are alleviated by streaky

Waves that pummel the shore
With a power whose core
Is just three atoms, but their strength
Comes from their unity of breath

That lives for all to enjoy
If only you take the time not to be coy
In appreciation of the majesty that is
All around you, and found within the peaks

Of waves, white foamy appearance,
But feel and taste salty which grace
The sand with an abundance of plentifulness
That eases the pangs of hunger without avarice.

Places, people, and events

What makes you feel nostalgic?

As the new year approaches, you look back and realize that you’ve grown as an individual, while others are stuck in a rut. As I remember my past obstacles and breakthroughs, I recall my childhood holidays filled with aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and friends gathering under 1 roof. The noise, laughs, cries of fear for a too mischievous child were part of the atmosphere of unity.

Today, only a few hours remain for a brand new year to start, a blank slate, maybe?

Never.

Life is cumulative, and there’s always context for actions and reactions. I wish for simplicity in life to return, where actions don’t need to have double or triple meanings, but where honesty, love, peace, and equality are the only values that are enacted by all.

Another Certificate

This Honorable mention is for the following poem based on the below picture:

Flow of ONE

Sitting alone,
Surrounded by water’s flow,
Nature’s song humming in a glow
Of tweets, buzzing, crackling, whine,
All in a spontaneous symphony in a crown
Of glory, seeping into the soul in a halo
Of protection against a throw
Of reality imposing a tun
Of fear, that’s clear.

Enjoying
The simplicity of a world
Governed by nature’s cycling
Between life-and-death, beauty and terrifying.
The openness of a world that relies on its principles,
Automatically reduces dessension, as dividing
Is done innately, reverently, loving
Every difference,  embracing
Our merging as ONE.
