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.

#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...

As Alexia fights this new threat—along with an unfathomable evil and her own heart—the Soulless genesis nears. But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission. Can Alexia escape her own cloc...
