The Poetteer

Hello Poetteers, Thank you Ava for getting me to think about the end of the year and my goals! Check out her end of the year goals . • Publish the book! I've been slowly doing the process throughout the year. It will finally be released on Thursday! • See success in merch store I recently opened a merch store and have new/more ideas for it but I have to see it go somewhere, mostly up, do to more. • Start a new project I got a new story idea brewing but I haven't written for a novel in a long while. Hopefully NaNoWriMo helps! • Finish my GR reading challenge My goal is 60 books but I'm six books behind. I hope I'll be able to accomplish it with my weekly trips to the bookstore. I have a couple more personal goals too. Yet I won't be sharing those. What are your goals for the end of the year, before the year ends? Thank you, Fida

Hello Poetteers, A Poet in a Reader  You see her sit there with a book in her hand. She smiles and you see her shoulders shake with laughter. Minutes later you see her teary-eyed. She tries to hide herself from other people behind the book. You see she takes a part of her headscarf to catch and wipe away the tears. Every once in and while she pulls out a journal from her bag and jots down a few some things. If you look in her journal you will find words, snippets of phrases and sentences from songs and books she read that sparked inspiration in her.  Later she will run with that inspiration.  But that later may never come.  Perhaps she will forget. She may remember it inspired her but not how and why. You would look into her journal of snippets and never find poems that should and one day would follow.  She doesn’t know where to begin. She just lets go of thinking and writes. Later when she reads what she has written, she finds on the page, words from her own he

Hello Poetteers, The flowers sit there  in a garden behind the house , blowing in the breeze  and  full of color.  I see the softness of their petals and I run my fingertips gently on top of them. It begins to rain. I see the raindrops speckle the petals. The flowers  let the sunlight hit their petals and leaves. They don’t try to hide from the sun and rain. The surroundings do not matter. They bloom in hardship and after hardship.  I would find a lone flower growing in between the cracks of a sidewalk.  The flowers share their fragrance with everyone and anyone who appreciates their beauty. They share their fruit with those who come early to enjoy it. Other people don't notice the flowers. They  find the fruit on the ground rotten.  Sometimes flowers send their seeds to  travel . The seeds travel with the wind  to spread their beauty or to get a better spot in the world. Love, Fida
