A to Z: Q is for Queen


Here are a few poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter Q:

Quiet

Today is quiet
I can't think of a thing to write
my quill is empty and so is my mind
after writing all those other poems
of friends and camp

But I'm not going to quit
there'll be a comeback.

Burn

At first you may think
you got burned
but in reality
it's a lesson to be learned.

Queen

They call me the iPad queen
just because I was the first to use it at school
and was smart in figuring out how to use it and more

But I don't like being called an iPad queen
it may be a little part of me
but I don't feel it's me

I shouldn't be attached to material things
and shouldn't be loved for material things
I should be loved for my personality
and I do see that happening

Things are changing and so is this
but no matter what I'm among
many queens of the faith I follow.

I was listening to music while reading the last poem and it felt like a song. Went with the beats and stuff. Haha

"My quill is empty" Nice. I'm not sure I've ever experienced that, though I have suffered from "my brain is empty" syndrome. I think zombies suffer from that too...or maybe they just deal with "my brain is gone" syndrome. Hmm.

I like the quill is empty too. Not so empty as you might think! :)

#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...
