OLIVE JAZZ Day 4

Hello Poetteers,


We are reaching towards our last day of this poetry blogfest. Today will be Two for Thursday.

Your second to last prompt is to write about a struggle and victory or struggle vs. victory, anything like that.

You try and try
keep being put down
but finally one small thing done
more done
until something big
you keep going.

Option two is inspired by Janet Gurtler. Write about things you thought were true.

Things I thought were true
that I could know only one language
that all flowers are real
that your actual heart
looks like a heart
that everything is good

Things I thought were true
that I was confined
that I couldn't get better

Things I thought were true
that my faith
was only about physical things
that love was hard to get.


P.S. I'm adding new goal. I want to reach 15k in my WIP by the end of the week. Practically have three days left. Yet my WIP is already at 10k. That means I have to write 1k one day and 2k over the next two days. Please cheer me on #WriterRecharge!

Love and thank you, Fida

#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...

As Alexia fights this new threat—along with an unfathomable evil and her own heart—the Soulless genesis nears. But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission. Can Alexia escape her own cloc...
