Sensations of Space

Hello readers,

In Creative Writing, we had to write a series of 10 short poems. Each of them about 3 lines long & written for 3 minutes. The tricky part we have to write about what our eyes fall on. Here's some of them.

---

People

White, brown, tan
All colors of love and peace
People, I love you
All for the sake of God.

People all around me
Some help, some hurt
But we're all here for the sake of God.

---

Trashcan

Throw all your worries away
Don't let it hold you down
Cuz baby, I love your smile.

---

Tornado

A twister of life
Messing with your mind
Just let the little things pass
And it'll be alright.

---

Clock

Tick-tock
time of my life
laugh and smile
All you want.

---

Angel Wings

Baby, you're my angel
take me away
to a place where
I can always smile.

---

Closet

I find every color
I need to wear
Holding outfits
Of three cultures.

thank you,
Fida

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
