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

April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways.
