What's Up Wednesday #2

Hello Poetteers,

What I'm Reading?

I finished reading STOLEN. Instead of giving a page or less for the kidnapping scene, this story took it's time. I love the descriptions of the land and the things he did. How I noticed his love for the land. I just like that it's a letter.

Like I said I love the descriptions, but it's a little too much and not enough action. Maybe this would be better as poems. I don't know. I read like 40% of it before taking a pause from it. I reluctantly and slowly finished it. I still would give it three stars.

I also finished PART TIME INDIAN. I love it's constant reminder of poetry. I loved learning about his story. Being in it. I loved that it had to do with a disabled kid, but didn't focus on that part of him. I give it 4.5 stars.

I'm in the middle of reading PEACHES FOR MONSIEUR LE CURE.

What I'm Writing?

I'm slowly still working on that traveling/nature girl story along with some short stories.

What Inspires Me Right Now?

My dreams, nightmares, newfound love of old songs and the book I'm reading.

What Else I've Been Up To?

Still my upcoming poetry collection. It's coming together very well. The cover reveal was last week and the book comes out in a month. I'm planning a two week blog tour for it.

thank you and love, Fida

Sounds like you've got a great idea on the go ^_^

I love it when you hear an old song for the first time in a while and remember why you love it all over again.

Have a wonderful week!

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
