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 :)

What's up Wednesday

Hello readers, What I'm Reading : I got and read two e-Arcs. 1. Behind the Stars by Leigh T Moore. I gave it 5 stars. The synopsis was left vague which left the story to be unexpected. 2. The Attic of Sand and Secrets by Medeia Sharif. I gave it 4 stars. I love the mystery. I love the diversity. Also, I finally... for the first time, got to read THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J Maas!! I gave it 5 stars. You will find more in depth reviews on goodreads . What I'm Writing : I'm in that two week slump for NaNoWriMo. This weekend I was at 17k. It's been three days and I'm at 18k. Hopefully better days are coming. Lists are very helpfully. I recently learned one way to revise your novel is to write one line about each page you have. It's timely but you get to see what you character or plot point is missing. What Else : Got an award from Jessica at Lunatic Poet , thank you! I have to give seven facts and pass it on to some of my favorite bloggers. - I've been blogging f

Hello readers, What I'm Reading CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments. What I'm Writing : I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k! In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories: Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break.

The other story is one I have a sneak peak on Wattpad . What Else : It's day three of belated Hugs & Kisses blog tour. Earlier this month Medeia reviewed my book . If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads ! Poetry Prompt : Write about the feeling reading gives you. a Rafflecopter giveaway Love, Fida # Poetteers
