The Poetteer

Hello Poetteers, it's been a crazy month a real roller coaster bad news after bad news in this blessed month but I am calm all I can do is pray and I already see the good news coming. Love, Fida

Hello Poetteers, Today we will have completed one week of fasting. Because of Allah’s say I fasted two of those days. The very first and second day. In them I got to experience two different fasts. Day one I was home all day. I prayed all five prayers. Yet that was the only good thing. I was lazy and on my phone/internet all day. That’s what made fasting be so easy. I was distracted. I need to change that. To still be distracted but in a more positive and productive way. Only half of us were home to break fast. The others were at the mosque breaking their fast. I loved the peace and quiet. Day two I spent the morning at work. The night before I was at the mosque praying taraweeh. It was late. I got home after midnight. I did sleep but sahoor was three hours away. Afterwards I did sleep again. But at work I was exhausted and in a bad mood. I was impatient. I need to work on my time management. A more well rested Fida is a happy Fida. Coming home from work I planned to sleep until Iftar....

Hello Poetteers, As you know I have a third poetry collection coming out at the end of July. Today is the day everyone is looking forward to… the cover reveal!! Drumroll please... Isn’t it awesome! About the Book : Fida has been blogging for more than 5 years. Her oldest posts are buried among the new ones. As a way to revive them, this book shares those first poems Fida has written. Take yourself back in time and see that they are still relevant. *** And I can’t forget, Sarah Kettles! You can find her on Pinterest or on her blog . She made the awesome cover art! Thank you so much!! Last but not least, I do need your help. What do you think of the title? Should I change it? If so, could you give some suggestions. Thank you! Original post . Love, Fida
