OctPoWriMo Day 19

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

#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...
