It's 2012!

Assalamu Alaikum sisters!

It's the first day of 2012. Before I get to it, I'd like to say I didn't post about looking over 2011 cuz what I wrote was too personal. Way more than my poems. I know, shock. 2011 has been a year of bad changes in me, and towards the end is the only time I realized why.

So may 2012 bring much more light to me and you. My moment as the years changed was clasped hands, in hope. Alhamdulillah!

New Year

It's New Years Eve
hours tick by
it's New Years!

As the minute changes
my hands clasp in hope
for so much...

but the most of all, through both days
I tell myself
I won't shed any tears...

not for all the bad that's happened
not for the good I'm leave
not for that fact of change
not for anything.

All I'm doing is hoping
telling myself

I won't shed any tears, today.

Love,

i know we're over a fortnight into the new year but Fida, my lovely, the realisation at the end of your year, in my opinion, is the beauty. I really do hope this change will bring out an even stronger, even more beautiful Fida, if that's even possible <3. Much love and I find that there can be a lot of time between the times I read something of yours or hear from you, but when we 'speak' again, we're just like old friends. InshaAllah meet you in this life and the hereafter. <3 (:

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...
