OctPoWriMo Day 26

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

I love that first line! I will look at my fears with a new perspective now, wondering what I'll like about them a certain amount of time from now. That will be fun and interesting. Thank you!

I enjoyed reading this, I can relate to your poem. What I was fearful of as a child, are things that I no longer fear. I still am fearful of some things, but hope to overcome them. Thank you!

#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...
