Ghouls of War

Moguls of war, ghouls that store,
Store away resources for a grey,
Grey day when needs are felt,
Felt in empty stomachs covered,
Covered by a rock to stave,
Stave the incessant hunger pains,
Pains that fog the functioning brain,
Brain needing nutrients,
Nutrients absent in war torn homes, …

Two Way Street

I lay in a fetal position,  my head
Cushioned by his heart, in a beat
And rhythm that puts me to sleep, a feat
That takes time, trust, comfort instead

Of weariness, worry that stress,
I lay my head on his chest, dreaming
Dreams of innocence that fled, tears streaming
For losses galore, knowing he’s my vest that’ll press …

Poetic Castle

Poetry is my castle where every
Room’s walls are painted in my poetry
The building itself is antiquated in poverty,
But each chamber is filled with rhymes eternally …

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Death’s Light

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Beautiful mirroring poem, Malak, contrasting darkness and light like matter/antimatter images. Each stanza swells, expands and then contracts, like a realization of an important truth, an insight. The first is a powerful trip through the shadows of death, the dominion of the devil and the damned. The second stanza is a heavenly reprieve, a victory over destroying deviltry. Creatiing these two realms, your images are fantastic, original and elegantly presented. Excellent, dramatic poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Death’s Light

Dark,
Razor sharp,
Claws of nails torn,
Horns of hell adorn
The souls of evils that step
Into the obscure, winding well to help
Those damned souls to reach
The pinprick of light breach
The diabolic breath, laugh,
Full of a pestilent cuff,
Shadowy death,
Lingering,
Stealing
Life
Turned
To death.
Dark.

Light,
Souls so bright,
Cleave the way to flight.
Soar in a cyclone’s might,
Into a haven of promised delight.
Tell your tale in whispers fiery
In their warmth and stealthy
In their fight against deviltry,
Whose hold is sturdy
But crumbles
When faced
With
Light.

Triple Gold Certificate for my poem,  Silver Etchings

Thank you for the honor and your hard work

Silver Etchings

Her yawn’s white and silver etchings
Swirls of eternal change castings
That bring out beauty’s blessings,

She stands, elegantly in a white dress
Flowing in the breeze that frees
Her imagination to never be less.

Her regal canoe flies through
The clouds taking her to
Endless adventures she never knew

Existed till she let go of fear
That kept her imprisoned in a sphere
Of schedules of repetition in a gear

That keeps speeding into stress
That’ll always press
If not dismantled for pressure is less

Imposing when you escape,
Like her, into the clouds of a dreamscape
That rejuvenates the soul’s need to scrape

Away the desolation of repetition
Garner some courage for expansion
Of a limited world to knowledge of expression.

Soar into beauty, peace
That never recede, but grace
Your mind in the simplicity of a slower pace.

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Fall Sunset

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab How exuberant, Malak, a glorious ode to the joy of autumn! It’s wonderful how you encourage the reader to fly free, to be adventurous, rejuvenated. That’s a lovely irony since spring is typically invoked. Then you inspire us to become a brightening star like the sun and to be lighthearted, not to melt and burn, but to brighten the world in liberating fun. Your entire poem has the most wonderful feeling of a rising sun, the “flame of life.” By Linda Powers O’Dell

Fall Sunset

The flaming sun burnishes the sky
With reds and oranges
Spilling over tree tops
Like  a flame of life; let go and Fly!

Fly like the falling leaf strewn
Into an adventure to adorn
The grounds with its fragility
Rejuvenation and transiency.

Fly into the rutilant shine,
Shining brighter than the setting
Or rising sun, know that you’re fine
And unequivocally a star brightening

Those around you with greater
Influence, power than any sun
Whose heat melts those closer,
While you, you brighten the sphere for fun.

Silver certificate of Poetic Excellence for my poem, Violinist’s Song

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Violinist’s Song

His mahogany violin is tightly embraced,
He cradles the bow as its wolf tones
Create an echo into the roiling waves, tones
That crest and dip into an abyss forced

To struggle with the undertow
To rise and be heard. Its metronomes
Have a tempo that moves feelings, homes
For emotions that crawl out of the flow

Of notes composed and diligently
Played to tell a story of heartache that’s
As old as time, yet, it’s everlasting plots,
Themes still apply today. So play, soar like a butterfly

From the violin’s strings, emote
The chaos within,  share its thrill
As you play the emotions of the audience that fill
Your mind’s eye even if they’re absent. So gloat

In your supremacy in affecting
People’s empathy, humanity
Through simple notes that fly
Into the breeze with ease and humility.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Symphony of Harmony

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Symphony of Harmony

The soft white snow is falling
Blanketing the world in peaceful
Harmony, where jingles soar in joyful
Solidarity, blending hopes, dreams strumming

Words of uniting families and enemies,
Erasing negativity,  murder with the priority
Of funding hope, compassion,  Humanity
As we get together facing dangers in symphonies.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Warriors in Sheep Skin

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Warriors in Sheep Skin

Warriors dressed in sheeps’ clothing
Fight, as warriors are wont to fight,
Let your voices rise, Soar like a kite,
Cross oceans of fright, conquering

Hearts with words of peace,
Empathy, compassion for humanity
That has fallen astray, accepting fraticide
As a way of life, unquestioningly

Some follow like the sheep they are,
While others use every medium,
From comedy, literature, criticism,
Painting, sculpting, all in their way fare

And pair their visions of peace
Fighting, unnoticed by many,
But those affected by their kindly
Actions have only gratitude that’ll fleece

Despair into an abyss where peace
Reigns in warrior stance in pride
That freedom fighters are framed in place
By the courts of the people who don’t hide.

Certificate Award for my poem, Heart’s Dialogue

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Heart’s Dialogue

Oh heart!
If you could speak
What would you say? A beat,
Two, three, a squeak,

A tweet, a butterfly’s wing
Swings in soaring flight
Letting the beats sing
Their song of freedom, bright

Diurnal light shimmers
In flight a beat of harmony
Starting within, speakers
Belt out optimism’s loyalty

To faith, Belief, humanity
Wearing blinders to pressures,
Social, career, imitators, honesty
That seems to be researchers

Of one’s identity in a world
Teaming with too much variety
Of labels that grind and bind
Our conformity into piety,

While the heart stomps
Into a tamtrum of morality
That doesn’t blend but clamps
Its hold, trying to drown your honesty.

Let your heart speak
It won’t steer you in directions
That deepen the morass that’s belak,
Rather to happiness filled adulation.

Award of Excellence for my poem,  Beyond Comfort

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

Beyond Comfort

Where does life begin and end?
Not in birth and death, no, not at all.
It starts when you reach a bend
Of road least taken and soar in a ball

In the sky that helps you perceive
The limitations you’d set for
Yourself,  yet, when you set it to a sieve
You’re awakened to receive the bounty for

Leaving your norm and discover
The unknown world beyond
The sphere of comfort and ponder
Why it’s taken you so long to find

The courage to experience life
Beyond the borders of your
Comfort zone that lited you into strife
Of habitual drudgery that becomes a chore.
