OctPoWriMo Day 24

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

Ooo - excellent! If it's truly "guilty", then it's not good. Love this concept!

See, I'd agree, but we have ways of making ourselves feel guilty about all kinds of things...quite needlessly in some cases.

'tis a thought provoking piece (although I think we are allowed our 'guilty pleasures'. They don't have to be bad!!

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human.
