A Step Toward Falling

Hello Poetteers,

Book Review

A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern - 5 stars.

The story is about not judging people from their appearance and of redemption.

It has several point of views. One is of someone who is disabled and the other is of those looking in as an outsider. It's about how both kinds of people deal with with other people having different disabilities.

There is romance in the story but it doesn't take away from the story.

OctPoWriMo

Build bridges of relationships
and of friendships
of communication
with those you want to be with
instead of wondering
how it would be.

Burn the bridges
that don't take you anywhere

Make connections that move you.

Don't make yesterday,
today and tomorrow
of worry and thoughts
of what ifs
of regret
make it something good
something to remember.

Thank you,

Fida

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human.

How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth.
