T is for Tea


Hello readers, Today is a simple day. Here is one poem that may or may not start with the letter T:

Tea or Coffee

We are from a culture
that loves both

Every household needs it
they may ask for one or the other
but at the end, you'll get both

Ever girl needs to know
how to make both
it's a test to who will love you
or love you more

a test to who is lucky to have you
unless that girl is lucky
finding a guy that can do it.

I really need to find a guy who will know how to make it for himself :(
Crystal Collier said…
Neither for me of my family, thanks. We like water in our house. Oh, and apple cider. (American cider.) Am I mean mommy that my kids only drink water or milk?

@Crystal, you're not mean, you're good. This tea/coffee thing is a cultural thing.
I married a guy who is happy to make me coffee every time I want one. I'm so lucky. :-) (Oh, he brews tea, too.)

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...

Hello readers, What I'm Reading CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments. What I'm Writing : I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k! In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories: Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break.

The other story is one I have a sneak peak on Wattpad . What Else : It's day three of belated Hugs & Kisses blog tour. Earlier this month Medeia reviewed my book . 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
