Hello readers, Exhaustion Rain No plans Accidentally make the others sleep in be late You realize the urge to go the hunger for knowledge to keep busy to find what you love do what you love the hunger keeps you up keeps you from falling asleep wakes you up in the middle of the night until you do what you need to do until you do what you want to do Or maybe it's just thirst wakes you up in the middle of the night Dry throat makes you uncomfortable until you do something for it Honey Lemon Tea Peppermint helps the throat Hot chocolate helps to fall asleep.

Hello readers, Cry myself to sleep every night living with insomnia Toss and turn every night wonder why I have insomnia Too many thoughts feelings and voices in my mind as my head hits the pillow I need to learn to quiet them down way before bedtime; Those precious moments when you drift to sleep dream and you don't wake until your alarm finally rested I'm happy, content can have a busy day don't have to feel lazy just for being tired.

Fears are something you end up liking I'm afraid of heights and I love hiking nostalgic for an airplane ride Used to be afraid of the dark but now it's what keeps me comfortable Used to be so scared of dogs run away walk away today for the first time I didn't change my pace move away It came to sniff me I didn't care wasn't scared I think after getting any pet you are more understanding their language, their love. Love, Fida # Poetteers
It's a magical moment to experience miracles. Miracles big and small they are in everyday life the way rocks form how trees grow face the ground or sky The home we have the air we breathe Being able to feel God's presence. Love, Fida # Poetteers
Hello readers, There is no such thing as guilty pleasures they are simply pleasures you shouldn't hide what you love Everyone has their own fashion sense has their signature dance move. If you do hide it it isn't good and you should take it out of your life. Love, Fida # Poetteers

Hello Poetteers, A journey an opportunity to do something spontaneous something you always wanted have someone hold you accountable give you a deadline The nerves the adrenaline you are excited enough to think about it have a nervous breakdown but for once you are too excited to over think you book a time and place You practice and practice the night comes and you hear your name For once it's not something to be scared about you are excited, happy the audience is too they know you That's one thing different in all other times they don't know you and you don't know the subject this time you do You get to the stage and see people smiling not looking like they are bored You hold the mic and start to read transported to that world you give emotion in your voice for emphasis not on your face for fear You finish and leave that world to see people clapping and loving it loving you Throughout the night people come to you saying it was good you touched me I'm glad you did th
Hello Poetteers, On daybreak I see the purity in everything including me I will do more than run around I will leave a handprint at least a fingerprint I will leave a memory an impression on the world at least one person one place at a time By night comes I see I gave a new love. *I hope I can do this with my poetry collections . I really would appreciate if you check it out if you haven't already. Thank you,
Hello Poetteers, Two months ago today I published my third poetry collection, HUGS & KISSES . Also, check out my fundraising page for NaNoWriMo! And finally, OctPoWriMo >> Rather be have all the chances chasing the sun It's more than what you think written word wanting to be spoken verses decorated seeing the world In the afterlight. /// It's late you're late I don't want to rush I'm tired of having to hurry give my heart a break Don't forget I never do let me know it's going to be okay Cuz even if the stars and moon collide the positive vibes are still in the air centuries have passed it's going to be okay. Love, Fida
Hello poetry lovers, It is a grey sky it carries on throughout the week the air feels chill feels damp The rain falls a drizzle sounds like tapping on my window it gets heavier sounds like someone left the faucet on The sun shines the most bright after rain after hiding behind the clouds besides a rainbow once it rises The raindrops on the flowers, leaves and grass a beauty only sharp eyes see those are the best moments when you can see shadows and know they will leave. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello poetry lovers, Any luck in being? I'm nervous even with those I love I talk, ramble until I can't anymore My shaking from being nervous finally stops with the talking I'm finally calming down I'm quiet Grateful for the original love from my friend worrying about me finding a pen for me to use being playful with me I'm hopeful I tell myself I have to be elegant but it doesn't last long It's like the nerves took all my energy I start going downhill drained and tired Wanting the frisky back wanting the adventure to go on but I also want it to end rest awhile before the next adventure. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello poetry lovers, The prompt is interesting but I'm unsure about the result: My thoughts are points from a laser I have to connect My thoughts are lines of lasers acting like guards I have to skip I obsessively dream of my other life as it leaves polite echoes in my mind throughout the day I'm trapped in my own mind a statue by my thoughts it feels like a punishment like I have to book it or I can stay and write a book to free myself. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello poetry lovers, After three days of not following the prompts ... Once upon a time I was on one fine wire I was your hope My worry ends you are my hope through the dawn of day and the dusk of night Am I wrong I know I'm not I'm blessed we have a love like this we live happily ever after. It's teen read week! Is my poetry collections one of the many books on your list? I hope so. It might inspire you to get out of your funk. Maybe inspire you to go do something, stand up for something. May just inspire something. I'll stop now. Love, Fida
Hello readers, What I'm Reading I started and finished SOULLESS by Crystal Collier ! It wasn't as scary as the first book because I've already been introduced to the villains in the first book. The revelations in this story shocked me. I didn't see it coming at all. I can't wait to see how it all wraps up in the third and last book. Finally, DAMSEL DISTRESSED by Kelsey Macke was published yesterday! I got a chance to read it and even finish it. It was a bit hard to read in the beginning. It was an easy read but the topic itself left me anxious. It left me in tears. The music that goes with it helps make the story even that much more powerful. Reading this story I felt like I was in Imogen's footsteps, learning along side her. I love her friends. I appreciate that the author wrote about the topic of anxiety and depression. I felt like I learned more about it. Thank you for an inspiring story! What I'm Writing > OctPoWriMo Instead of following
Hello readers, Before I get to the poem of the day, here are places books have made me want to visit: 1. Hogwarts - Harry Potter 2. Spruce Knoll - Heather McCorkle 3. Broken Branch Falls - Tara Tyler 4. Jar Island - Burn for Burn 5. Paper Towns - John Green 6. Quantum Technologies - Jamie Grey 7. Oceanside High - Jenny Kaczorowski 8. Downside - Neal Shusterman 9. New Beijing - Marissa Meyer Now into OctPoWriMo : Something I'm always told, asked is what I plan to do with my one wild, precious life It's the journey not the destination It's not about the results but the means of getting there. In the world always changing never listening never helping everyone in their own bubble Show resistance let a revolution start where people finally listen finally help. That is my heart everyday one day you will understand for now let me be. I know it's true it happens to me I'd rather you read my heart than not see my face at all. Love, Fida # Poetteers & happy book birthda

Hello poetry readers, For once I'm stuck with the prompt . I don't have anything new to write. I did find a few old snippets I wrote that goes with the topic. Enjoy! She has a choice of her faith or desires maybe she can have it both. /// Just one simple desire to move on, be out of the lull and into a better place in many ways.

Hello readers, Disclaimer: this is only what I think when I hear this. Everyone has their own opinion and definition of it. Mental health more important than you think it affects your life something that needs to be talked about, not ignored you are still important if you suffer from mental illness Even if it's something small take care of it all you are still important. My mind spins with anxiety questioning everything checking up on everything big and small I'm still scared to tell people I slowly am the resources on the internet are there to help you I discover journaling a worry list helps once it's out there it's gone in the back of the mind, not forgot but done and moved on a fresh start each day Just remember to not over think to not think it everyday only on its important days because you are important deserving to smile and live. Only some people are recognized with what they have yet everyone has something no matter how small no one is better than anyone we sh
Hello readers, Before I share my poem of the day I have something else to share. DAMSEL DISTRESSED comes out in less than a week, on Oct 14!! And there is a catchy tour/tag going on called Say Yes to Distressed . So confession time! My distressing/embarrassing moment was that a close friend was changing something in them and I didn't like it. Instead of going to them I went to not another friend but an acquaintance and burst into tears and told them what happened. I shouldn't have done that. In the end it was fine. I confronted my close friend and she forgave me. We are still close, if not closer today. Since we are talking fairytales, you should check this out: Elissa Sussman Gives Fairy Tales A Feminist Edge Now onto OctPoWriMo : Looking back at the past few days and not much, no one notices the effort I'm putting in I want to stop and see if people still notice if they don't i might need to change something if they do then I have something powerful hidden in the mi
I'm still reading THE PROPHET. I did finish reading BONE, NEJMA and SALT. All of them were prose and poetry books, all were inspiring. I also read an ARC of The Evolution of Emily . It comes out in November. I'll be posting my review closer to the release date. I'm doing OctPoWriMo. I'm using it for both writing practice and to get an idea of the plot for my NaNoWriMo story: Like the moon pulls the tide Seeing something triggers my memory pulls me into nostalgia; People say the full moon has powers I don't see that I do see it marks my calendar; Whether or not the moon has powers it pulls the tide it casts beautiful lining in the clouds illuminating the sky and earth in twilight. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello poetry lovers, The sun has risen it's foggy outside no one is outside expect for that lone car some birds and insects it's like you can hear the hallow in the wind. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello readers, Monday Blessings A holiday once it's celebrated, shows how much belief one has, whether good or bad, strong or weak. What you believe if you say it enough show it enough others will finally come to respect it. Sunrise, sunset night sky and twilight you breathe in and breathe out thankful for another day. OctPoWriMo They always tell you to conform to their style and another group says you have to conform to their style but you are in a different world than either of them your beliefs don't match theirs they tell you are imperfect that you won't do well But you know those who love and support you know you are imperfectly perfect don't you ever change don't let them get to you don't ever feel like your less than perfect. Love, Fida
Hello poetry lovers, The festivities continue to today, but I still have a poem for you: Autumn upon us the leaves on our path change color there is a chill in the air we change our wardrobe to something thicker We are melancholy for the cold thinking it's the death of us My body tired of the weather but once it comes and stays and doesn't change we feel a little but better But feel a lot better like a renewal, a rebirth when the spring breeze comes in. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello poetry lovers, Before I get to the poem I would love to say, Eid Mubarak!! It's a poetry revolution changing the world one poem at a time I'm reminded of the other revolutions going on fighting for what you believe in creating a domino effect everyone feeling courageous, spirited, energetic Ready to be liberated after being reawakened ready to risk their lives and reclaim it along with others. Love, Fida #Poetteers
Hello poetry lovers, That moment you enter into your passions you enter into sweet indulgence You are in your own little world content on what you have and do The poetry the calligraphy is eye candy Doing what you love is a sugar rush. Love, Fida #Poetteers

Hello! What I'm Reading If you saw yesterday's post I mentioned difficult reads . One of them being WINTERGIRLS. I never finished it but after that I got the strength to read books with self and outside harm. Recently I finished reading Dreamland by Sarah Dessen My rating: 3 of 5 stars The writing was really good. The sisters, parents and close friends she created were really great, too. I highlighted a lot of quotes. Yet the plot itself was disturbing. View all my reviews I'm almost done with THE PROPHET by Khalil Gibran. What I'm Writing I am participating in OctPoWriMo . I am starting to get an idea and plan for NaNoWriMo. What Else I'm Up To Other than that, check out the cool update . Love and thank you, Fida #Poetteers
