A to Z: F is for Friend

Hello Poetteers,

A few days back I found out about the Blitz poetry form and did my first attempt. I decided to give it a few more tries. Enjoy!

Forgive & Forget

Forgive myself
forgive you
you forget
you forget me not
not hate
not bad
bad to good
bad to love
love yourself
love everyone
everyone could
everyone could make it better
better for me
better for you
you will change
you will stay the same
same as always
same as forever
forever here
forever in my heart
here
in my heart.

---

Friends Forever

You are a friend
you are a sister
sister in faith
sister in freedom
freedom to learn
freedom to share
share frustrations
share other feelings
feelings of fasting
feelings of love
love is here
love is freedom
here
is freedom.

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...
