A to Z: Y is for Yoga


Hello readers, it's the second to last day of this challenge! Here's a few poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter Y:

RELAX Yoga

Exercise your mind and your body
push yourself, yet relax
Yoga lets you exercise both
but in ways to let you calm down and relax.

Yo-yo

People say life
is like a roller coaster
and it is,
but it also
can be compared to other things
like a yo-yo.

We Need

Shade we need
once we get heated
water we need
food we need
it is life we are living
while we get heated.

*this last poem was my attempt at a shadorma.

Can you believe it? Only one more day--and we did it! We survived to the end!

@crystal: I'm somewhat surprised! There was a few times I wanted to quit.

I haven't got to the point yet where yoga makes me relax ... soon, though ... if only my muscles will cooperate. I used to stop and start, but thing time I'm hanging in there.

One more day to go; I'll miss the camaraderie of A - Z. Please stop by MROP any time you wish.

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...

If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads ! Poetry Prompt : Write about the feeling reading gives you. a Rafflecopter giveaway Love, Fida # Poetteers
