The Poetteer

Update 4-1-11: poem published on Dear Little Auntie. Hello readers, I Want To I want to feel the excitement again the calm, the enlightening of praying; I want to feel the purity again splashing water, having a smile if reading the quran; I want to feel the freshness again of being a Muslim. Inspired by TSWS on her post, Falling in Love . Fida

Hello readers, Today is the start of a new blog series called Monday Blessings where I share with you some of the blessings i've noticed this past week.  Y For going to the Indy Girls Qiyaam Y I'm an oversensitive gal. I cry once a week and sometimes more; this past week is the only time I remember not crying. Y My mind is on poetry inspiration overload Y Seeing someone I love wearing my favorite color, purple Y I always feel like I need so much chocolate to make it through the week. I realized I don't need that much Y Having warm weather with a nice breeze Y The rain on my face after a bad day Y For my family and friends Y For the feeling of seeing someone you love soon Y Best of all, being a Muslim and having Allah by my side!! stay inspired, Fida

Hello readers, "I love the rain because no one sees me crying. I love the wind because I can close my eyes and know everything will eventually be okay." My Mind By day my mind... is everywhere else but here; I push on and as I do another part I blank... not remembering, not thinking I still push on, but that special someone notices the look I have "you've had enough." just take a break. A true, fresh from the heart poem written right when school let out. Insha'Allah, I'll have a better day. Fida

Hello readers, Why Are You Covered? It's a question I always hear. I'm a Muslim girl and I'm doing what I need to do. That's also the reason why I didn't get much sleep last night. It's Ramadan and I was at the mosque helping set out the food and breaking my fast. I might have been stuffing my face, but my family is known to help the community a lot. We give money to charity, but we also go to random people's houses and see if the need anything done. I have to say we don't help just because we're Muslim. I'm an undercover ninja!
