OctPoWriMo Day 21
Hello Poetteers,
On daybreak I see the purity
in everything including me
I will do more than run around
I will leave a handprint
at least a fingerprint
I will leave a memory
an impression
on the world
at least one person
one place at a time
By night comes
I see I gave a new love.
*I hope I can do this with my poetry collections. I really would appreciate if you check it out if you haven't already.
Thank you,

OctPoWriMo Day 20
Hello Poetteers,
Two months ago today I published my third poetry collection, HUGS & KISSES.
Also, check out my fundraising page for NaNoWriMo!
And finally, OctPoWriMo >>
Rather be
have all the chances
chasing the sun
It's more than what you think
written word wanting to be spoken
verses decorated
seeing the world
In the afterlight.
///
It's late
you're late
I don't want to rush
I'm tired of having to hurry
give my heart a break
Don't forget
I never do
let me know it's going to be okay
Cuz even if the stars and moon collide
the positive vibes are still in the air
centuries have passed
it's going to be okay.
Love, Fida

OctPoWriMo Day 19
Hello poetry lovers,
It is a grey sky
it carries on throughout the week
the air feels chill
feels damp
The rain falls
a drizzle
sounds like tapping on my window
it gets heavier
sounds like someone left the faucet on
The sun shines the most bright after rain
after hiding behind the clouds
besides a rainbow
once it rises
The raindrops
on the flowers, leaves and grass
a beauty only sharp eyes see
those are the best moments
when you can see shadows
and know they will leave.
Love, Fida

OctPoWriMo Day 18
Hello poetry lovers,
Any luck
in being?
I'm nervous
even with those I love
I talk, ramble
until I can't anymore
My shaking from being nervous
finally stops with the talking
I'm finally calming down
I'm quiet
Grateful for the original love
from my friend
worrying about me
finding a pen for me to use
being playful with me
I'm hopeful
I tell myself
I have to be elegant
but it doesn't last long
It's like the nerves
took all my energy
I start going downhill
drained and tired
Wanting the frisky back
wanting the adventure to go on
but I also want it to end
rest awhile before the next adventure.
Love, Fida

OctPoWriMo Day 17
Hello poetry lovers,
The prompt is interesting but I'm unsure about the result:
My thoughts are points
from a laser
I have to connect
My thoughts are lines of lasers
acting like guards
I have to skip
I obsessively dream
of my other life
as it leaves
polite echoes
in my mind
throughout the day
I'm trapped in my own mind
a statue by my thoughts
it feels like a punishment
like I have to book it
or I can stay
and write a book
to free myself.
Love, Fida

OctPoWriMo Day 16
Hello poetry lovers,
After three days of not following the prompts...
Once upon a time
I was on one fine wire
I was your hope
My worry ends
you are my hope
through the dawn of day
and
the dusk of night
Am I wrong
I know I'm not
I'm blessed
we have a love like this
we live happily ever after.
It's teen read week! Is my poetry collections one of the many books on your list? I hope so. It might inspire you to get out of your funk. Maybe inspire you to go do something, stand up for something. May just inspire something.
I'll stop now. Love,
Fida

What's Up Wed & Day 15
Hello readers,
What I'm Reading
I started and finished SOULLESS by Crystal Collier! It wasn't as scary as the first book because I've already been introduced to the villains in the first book. The revelations in this story shocked me. I didn't see it coming at all. I can't wait to see how it all wraps up in the third and last book.
Finally, DAMSEL DISTRESSED by Kelsey Macke was published yesterday! I got a chance to read it and even finish it. It was a bit hard to read in the beginning. It was an easy read but the topic itself left me anxious. It left me in tears. The music that goes with it helps make the story even that much more powerful. Reading this story I felt like I was in Imogen's footsteps, learning along side her. I love her friends. I appreciate that the author wrote about the topic of anxiety and depression. I felt like I learned more about it. Thank you for an inspiring story!

Instead of following the prompt today, here is a poem inspired by yesterday's read.

Instead of following the prompt today, here is a poem inspired by yesterday's read.
We're all mad
Heavy with emotion
Not just about a summer love
A thousand times
A thousand years
I deal
With heavy emotions
God knows
I want you to put your arms around me
say no goodbye to me
through the dark
I need a pocketful of sunshine
You are all calling for me
I'm calling you
I'm in misery
as I'm on one fine wire
trying to remember
I'm blessed
My demons
I feel something about
being without me
I’m sinking
a thousand years
Calling you
Through the dark
Between the raindrops
All of me
Don't wake me up
You tell me
To try not to cry, little one
I’m bleeding out
Misery
I want you to try
To let me go
I need my strength
How to save a life
We both know
Human and brave
Unseen by me
Be free now
Fix you, fix me
Look into my eyes
Breaking at the cracks
Always speak too late
Breathe easy.
Love, Fida

Top Ten Tues #4 & Day 14
Hello readers,
Before I get to the poem of the day, here are places books have made me want to visit:
1. Hogwarts - Harry Potter
2. Spruce Knoll - Heather McCorkle
3. Broken Branch Falls - Tara Tyler
4. Jar Island - Burn for Burn
5. Paper Towns - John Green
6. Quantum Technologies - Jamie Grey
7. Oceanside High - Jenny Kaczorowski
8. Downside - Neal Shusterman
9. New Beijing - Marissa Meyer
Now into OctPoWriMo:
Something I'm always told,
asked
is what I plan to do
with my one wild, precious life
It's the journey
not the destination
It's not about the results
but the means of getting there.
In the world
always changing
never listening
never helping
everyone in their own bubble
Show resistance
let a revolution start
where people finally listen
finally help.
That is my heart
everyday
one day you will understand
for now
let me be.
I know it's true
it happens to me
I'd rather you read my heart
than not see my face at all.
Love, Fida

Monday Blessings: Imperfection
Hello poetry lovers,
Like I said yesterday I'm stuck on the prompts. But I did end up writing something new this time. Enjoy!
Imperfections
Flaws
Everyone has them
some people don't notice them
still finding a friend in you
loving you.
Imperfections
flaws
I see your aura all around
bright and warm
filled with love.
Imperfections
flaws
it doesn't matter
a friend's wedding happens
prove to you
how strong a personality
a love can be.
Thank you, Fida

OctPoWriMo Day 12
Hello poetry readers,
For once I'm stuck with the prompt. I don't have anything new to write. I did find a few old snippets I wrote that goes with the topic. Enjoy!
She has a choice
of her faith or desires
maybe she can have it both.
///
Just one simple desire to move on,
be out of the lull
and into a better place
in many ways.
Love, Fida
