Certificate of excellence, Cupid’s Valentine

Cupid’s Valentine

The month of love and adoration
Is the shortest one of all!
Not all happiness can be packed into its summation,
Short, though it is, its effects are a ball!

In its center, couples celebrate their love,
As if you only praise your unity, then!
And every other day falls short of its possessive
Hold on your cheery life filled only with a pen.

The one you use to organize your life,
Strategize your next goal, perfect compassion
That leads to compromise and less strife,
While dissent and enmity to envy’s fashion.

Duty and love are two sides of a coin,
Where duty can choke the life out of veneration
As it stomps out the cheer from your conjoin.

Tennis

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I used to love playing tennis before I had my bowl obstruction surgery. I had great technique, according to our trainer and my husband. I enjoyed playing the winning points that were geometric and corners of the court. I’d feel the need to pump up my arms in victory each time I’d win the point, especially if I’m playing against a very competitive soul who hates loosing!

Now, I’m relegated to only watching the game, either on TV or stadium, ad the game requires the use of abs that I’m not allowed to exercise for fear Of a return Of my condition. Still, while watching, I like to cheer the underdog and a great winning point!

Certificate of Achievement, Cigarette

Cigarette 🚬

Holding it with my fingertips,
Caressing the paper filters,
Lighting a match, inhale, exhale airs,

Air that’s stuffy, foggy, stinky.
It casts an oppressive smell,
That you try to outrun like a bell

Ringing in lunchtime,
The smell becomes a halting
Breath that stalls in your lung

Fighting for oxygen’s purity
To flush out the dreadful
Odor that sticks to hair that fell,

And clothes that have a stench
Of smoke, driving you to asphyxiation
As you endeavor to hide from the pulverization

Of aromas that bleed deposits
Into bronchials that hinder
A normal breather.

2 Certificates about Success, Labyrinth & Defining Me

Labyrinth

Life is full of predicaments,
Labyrinths are the only road available.
Line your car with gas that spars
Long with the deadly turns that are viable.

Longing for straightforward success,
Laying out your failures that press.
Limp around giving a guess
Looking forward to new life that’s not less.

Legends are complex and teach
Loyalty and friendship, but suppress
Liars that generate a great reach
Leaving them as villains that squeals.

Light up your life with loyals
Living through difficulties and prove
Logical in their enterprises
Letting the faithful mind make a succesful move.

Defining ‘Me’

As a teen, are you aware?
Aware of your strengths,
Aware of your weaknesses,
Aware of your beliefs,
Aware of your needs?

You may have a vague
Notion about all the above,
But can’t define any with clarity.

Make mistakes,
Learn from them, lessons,
Let’s live life with its joys
That reflect your awareness
Of successes and failures.

Your patience, reactions,
And actions define your emotions,
Those help to highlight your characters’
Flexibility when faced with adversities.

Accepting that failure isn’t an end
But a beginning; as it’s where you
Find out about yourself, and become aware.

1 Diamond and 2 Certificates of Excellence in 1 day!

Silver Light

Silver light shines so bright,
Reflects on your surface in a fight
To blot out the blight
Of oppressive night.

As it shimmers on the lake
At night, it dances with shadows, fake
In their adulation of your stake
In everything that’s ensconced in black.

Its silver sheen is reminiscent
Of the clouds’ silver lining that bent
The impossible to their heaven sent
Hope that relies on faith not being absent.

Discipline

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

Rules and discipline are for Sly, our GSD, like candy is to be eaten. He chews out the rules, trying to break them by being cute, cuddly, and loving. When he’s like that, I forget to enforce the rules!

Malak, angel

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

My first name is Malāk, in Arabic, it means angel. There are several variations to the name, Malika means queen, while Malek means king. Malak, with a short second a, is also a female name, meaning owner.

Malak- Accrostic

Marvelously mysterious

Amazingly amorous,

Lovingly, loyally laborious,

Ably available, rarely angry,

Knit kids and knock kings down to become kingly.

Reading, writing, nurturing, helping, and cooking

Share five things you’re good at.

I’m great at helping others in the fields. I feel I have a certain expertise, like listening to others’ likes and implementing them, especially if it has to with cooking or baking. The latter is, at times, a therapeutic form of stress relief, where I get to chop things and bludgeon the dough into submission πŸ˜€. I’m generally a great listener, except when someone is stubbornly narrow-minded, then i prefer not to converse or listen to them.

As an MA holder in English Literature, I l9ve to read, the more varied the better. I also write opinions, editing of thesis, poetry, and judging different types of books: novels, anthologies, and poetry. When it comes to my writing, I know I’m verbose, visual, and descriptive, which help when I feel stuck while I write. I like taking a detour in my writing before completing my original ideas.

As a daughter, wife, and mother, I love nurturing those I believe are mine! They all enjoy their food more when I make it, even if it’s a lowly sandwich πŸ₯ͺ πŸ˜‹!

I’m an excellent helper to those who ask for it, or not, as I insert my services without being asked. That can lead to problems with some people, apparently! But, I don’t know why!

My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, raises a variety of themes that are humane in nature: relationships, postcolonial/ social criticism, self-awareness/ growth.
