Accolade for my poem, Regrets Fly

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab
Fantastic poem, Malak! Yes, we should cry out our emotions, our fears and frustrations. (By doing do we learn more about what we’re going through.) Sharing our pains encourages others to do the same.
Excellent turn of focus created by your wordplay on “pyre” and “lyre.” For all our “degrading fears,” there is hope of triumph, a great harmony within awaiting. We only have to listen and sing the angelic tune. I love your use of the musical refrain, very like Shakespeare. Excellent poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Regrets Fly

Flaming fever fires fly,
Fly into the night sky,
Raise your voice and cry.
Fal la la la la la

Cry out your emotion,
Feelings of despair, confusion,
Give them free reign to perception,
Fa la la la la la

Share to teach so others
Express sensations plaguing their powers
Of cheer that ends in tears,
Fa la la la la

Tears of lament whose fire
Burns hotter than the sun’s pyre,
Yet, prevailing over them in great success is a lyre
Fa la la la la

Lyre of angelic tunes create harmony
From within, reveling in the conspiracy
Of triumphing over degrading fears of being followers.
Fa la la la la

Review for my poem, Patient Timeful Warriors

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Thats a Dang! Dear poet. Great circular trains of thought… The warrior as an antagonist alongside time and patience is intriguing, intelligent and strangely obvious and not immediately obvious at the same time… Any one who has served may resonate with this at a much higher level. Strong piece dear poet! 🙏🫡👍😃❤️

Patient, Timeful Warriors

Patient time sidles around knowing,
Knowing that you’ll eventually learn,
Learn that warriors full of brute force,
Force that turns into violent regret,
Regret that eats away your happiness,
Happiness that dissolves as its transient,
Transient time comes and goes, waiting,
Waiting patiently like the intelligent warrior,
Warrior who strategizes using patience,
Patience for the right information and time,
Time that’s right to act not go in unknowing,
Unknowing the dangers, pitfalls sown
By the hands of enemies whose joy,
Joy will be untamable at your fall,
Fall from grace, for you forgot that time
Time and patience have always been chief survivors.
