The Poetteer

Hello readers,  UNBREATHABLE by Hafsah Laziaf might be out a little early!! Following is a random poem I wrote, but I don't know if it goes with the story: Just beginning  staring, smiling  waiting for the sun but the clouds and rain come in you upset me I'm unwritten, unbreathable  I'll let my skin feel the rain I'll still be unwritten, but now breathable.  Review Right as I finished reading it I wanted to reread it. From the beginning of the story you are already captivated by the big and little things that are happening. I love the voice! It's poetic.  I came to this realization early in the story, so you probably know how I feel through out the rest of it.  Of course there are some surprises. I like the complexity of a love triangle, I may not understand everything, but that's what I love about it. It's beautiful nonetheless. I cried a couple times. Awesome writing does that!  Thanks & Love, 

Hello readers,  This week I managed to write two poems. I hope you enjoy!  Day 14 Silence is prayer focusing on talking and listening to God not thinking of what to do later Silence is yoga focusing on moving and deep breathing letting thoughts only move out to oblivion or your notebook Silence is other things like driving, laying in nature, being happy. Day 16 Moving away, traveling  living new going home, coming home bringing back the past remembering the guy I liked and all the dreams I had wondering what could be knowing now I should go after everything I think I want  knowing to not just pray but showing I care to try.  Thanks & Love,

Hello readers,  Writing poetry specifically to the prompts was a fail this week. But I still have something for you to enjoy! Day 8 Love is like... t he ocean washing away layers and layers of sand finding out who you are. 

Hello readers,  I'll be sharing with you snippets of my poetry I wrote this week, enjoy!  Day 1  A cold bench, a cool  breeze  sweeps my headscarf the leaves around me, too. Day 2 Where does poetry hide? In the depths of my mind in my heart running through my veins. Day 3 It was a jumble of random words wanting to get out of me it was cuz of the sight of my first gifted poetry book both put aside until short stories came until poetry assignments came. Day 4 Being, feeling gentle  like a small breeze  like the love of God. 

Hello readers,  Today is a good day because it's the cover reveal of MOONLESS! Here's the mini blurb:  Alexia’s nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red -eyed wraiths, and  forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.  MOONLESS is Jane Eyre meets Supernatural.

Secretly, she dreams of world domination a...
