OctPoWriMo Day 27

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.

Love, Fida

I have suffered from this all too often.
One thing that worked for me was meditation, as I learnt to do with yoga. The thing I realised though is that I don't manage to get into that state of meditation when thoughts are swarming my mind. What I needed to do was get up, do some yoga poses, stretches, leg and arm swings (takes the blood away from the brain into the limbs) and then was able to meditate and drift off to sleep...

I love yoga! It helps with sleep and energy. A hot mug of hot chocolate helps, too.

#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...
