A to Z: L and M Poems

Hello readers, I apologize from not posting on Saturday and Sunday. I was at another camp, it's a Muslim youth camp. Following are poems that may or may not start with L and M and are inspired by camp:

Love

Love is something that infests in your body
and it grows so large
after bonding with sisters in faith
and learning about your faith

Love is a pinkie promise
a long hug or back rub
love is an acquaintance
asking you to sit with them

Love is any and everything.

---

Money

Money is not just cash or coins
to pay for material things
Money is something else
that pays for your afterlife

Money is the love you give
to any and everything
money is the small, good deeds
you do for yourself and others
to God.

---

MYNA

It was my first time
and I like any other event
I'm asked about my siblings

But soon I'm my own person
doing my own thing
everyone is so caring on how you feel
whether you know them or not
it's what starts a close and long lasting bond.

I like the pinkie promise. People get so stuck on love being "romantic", but I think the real definition of love is so much larger.

#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...
