U is for Unity

Hello readers! Here are a couple poems that may or may not start with the letter U:

Umbrella

All through yesterday
it's been sunny and cloudy
that evening it rained
and as night came, it poured
it poured through the night
and still is on this midweek morning.

If I were out besides seeing my own
and hearing of others
I'll see a rainbow of umbrellas.

Unity

I love communities
cuz it's mostly about unity
working together to host a dinner or multiple
working together to create a better environment
for themselves and their kids
working and praying together
you can feel the love just by being there.

Beautiful. Though if it would be raining in my backyard I would skip the umbrella. :)

I was just checking back for the V post. Then I re-read the U post. It doesn't cease to awe me. :)

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...
