A to Z: H is for Hunt... and an Award


Here is a poem inspired by poetic asides:

Hunt for Decisions

At any age
you'll have things to go after
and things coming to you
you have to choose
to do what is right for you
or right for others
(maybe wrong for you).


If you're still here, yesterday D. VonThaer awarded me with an award. I'm just going to make this simple and only answer the 11 questions. If you look around my blog you'll quickly find 11 facts about me. I'll only tag a few people: Zara, Megan, Sania, Sarah.

1. Where would you like to travel? Everywhere! But right now I just want to go back to Malaysia.
2. If you were a superhero what would your superpower be? I kind of have the superpower of a psychic.
3. What was your first car? N/A. But I could say Honda, since I'm practicing in one.
4. Who is your favorite author? I have no idea, I'm a bookworm!
5. Do you prefer cold weather or warm weather? In between.
6. When was the last time you built a snowman? Back in middle school.
7. Who is your favorite actor or actress? I don't have one.
8. At what age did you start writing or drawing? I remember writing a poem when I was a toddler, but didn't seriously start until 7th grade.
9. What do you enjoy most about your art? Everything, I get to express who I am.
10. Who would you like to see in concert? I have no idea.
11. Do you know anyone you would take a bullet for? My family.

I don't know what I'm doing for I. For fun, I might do my last name. And thanks, Sania!

Great poem. It's so true that you have to hunt after what's right for you.

Sometimes, I just let the course of life meet me. I hunted for myself for years. When I stopped hunting, what I've searched for found me. :-)

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
