OctPoWriMo Day 12-18

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,

Comments

#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...
