Poetry Tuesday: Feelings

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.

Assalaamu Alaykum Fida!
My dear, your words really do touch deep into the heart and soul, masha'allah.
Last night I had such a difficult time sleeping. . .I was up till 7 in the morning in fact! I've been feeling myself become distant from Allah (swt) and it has really brought me down. So being up in the middle of the peaceful night I prayed. It has been a while since I did so and, alhamdullilah, it was so refreshing. It's hard to put into words, but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying. All day I have kept up with praying on time and it really makes a world of difference in my heart and bring such peace to my mind.
Masha'Allah, Fida, you have true talent with words. You can convey honest truth and deep feelings through your poetry. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us all :)

Insha'allah we will be the best Muslim we can be and have such feelings.

Love, Fida xx

In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming.

But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission. Can Alexia escape her own cloc...

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
