OctPoWriMo Day 1-4

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.

Day 1 and 4 are my favorites here. Simple but well crafted. Day 1 is a perfect moment. Day 4...just a lovely feeling. I liked all of your snippets though. :-)

#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...
