OctPoWriMo Day 27 - Happy Ending

Hello Poetteers, Today's prompt is what is your happy ending? Before creating the poem write for ten minutes asking yourself that question. As I was writing it got a lot more personal than I would like to share. Enjoy the parts I let you see. As the sun breaks the horizon and rises I want to be with those I love, doing what I love. I want to be able to support and love them like they support and love me. I want be healthy want to be strong in my faith. Love, Fida Check out my book, Her Treasures .

Monday Blessings - At the Peak

Hello Poetteers, There were many blessings to look back on. I'm blessed to be getting good news. I love that I got to hear and see birds fly by. I got new boots for the season! Usually I pay attention to the Autumn leaves when it's too early or too late. I think this year I finally get to enjoy them at their peak. The colors are pretty and vibrant. My eyes are more open this season. Last but not least, this week will be a month since  Her Treasures  has been published. Stay inspired, Fida

Hello Poetteers, You can find the origins of the idea here . I just finished reading the sequel of SLA, ICE LIKE FIRE. I gave it 5 stars. I've read other people don't like it as much as the first. I loved it the same. In ILF, the action starts a little later than in SLA. As for what I'm watching, stationary videos of planner to journal decorating. I don't really have any songs stuck in my head this week. OctPoWriMo *Prompt: write a love letter between two inanimate objects. Dear Book, There is a fondness I have for you. You don't have to stay in one place. You're story has multiple pages. You get a tenderness from your readers. They ruffle your pages. They laugh and cry with you. You aren't ignored and you don't catch the eyes of those uninterested. Love, Picture Frame *** Dear Picture Frame, I'll keep your letter tucked in between my pages. I may be able to tell a story with all my pages but you, my friend, can tell a story in a few words and in th

A Step Toward Falling

Hello Poetteers, Book Review A Step Toward Falling by Cammie McGovern - 5 stars. The story is about not judging people from their appearance and of redemption. It has several point of views. One is of someone who is disabled and the other is of those looking in as an outsider. It's about how both kinds of people deal with with other people having different disabilities. There is romance in the story but it doesn't take away from the story. OctPoWriMo Build bridges of relationships and of friendships of communication with those you want to be with instead of wondering how it would be. Burn the bridges that don't take you anywhere Make connections that move you. Don't make yesterday, today and tomorrow of worry and thoughts of what ifs of regret make it something good something to remember. Thank you, Fida

Monday Blessings - Feelin' Bittersweet

Hello Poetteers, Family - you realize it's not complete with one person missing after they have been with you. Fall - the weather may drain you but there is a sweetness that comes with the season. Night - everything falls quiet. There is silence and you heart final feels at peace. It means you can be yourself when you pray. It also means you can finally sleep. Noise - it's quiet for so long when it comes back you know it means happiness. OctPoWriMo Airports bittersweet with hellos and goodbyes can't come or leave without tears don't dare to say the opposite even if you feel strong going strong hope it's only a few tears instead of an overwhelming feeling just pray and have faith everything will be alright. Side note: I probably would have done the whole alphabet but then I came to the letter K and didn't know what to put. Thank you, Fida

Book Review and Poem

Hello Poetteers, Snow like Ashes review I gave this book 5 stars. I can't wait to read Ice Like Fire! Before I get into the review I would like to caution you that it may have minor spoilers to Snow Like Ashes and Throne of Glass. First of, I like the unique touch that each season is a kingdom. Second, Snow Like Ashes reminds me of Throne of Glass. I saw a post of if you like this then try this. (I would share it if I could find it). Now I see why. While the Throne of Glass mentions work camps Snow like Ashes shows you into the work camps. I love both Mather and Theron. Theron is like Dorian in ways that they are both princes and despise their fathers. Both Celaena and Meria are sneaky and amazing with their powers while still showing us their flaws. OctPoWriMo In a spark an idea is started When it rains there is cleansing for your body The sound of the ocean calms you the sound of wind brings you to nature. Thank you, Fida

Hello Poetteers, You can find the origins of the idea here . I just finished reading Snow Like Ashes . I will hopefully have a review up on Friday. As for what I'm watching, still planner videos. I gave it a try. Loving I'm loving the feeling I get after publishing a new book! And the feeling of doing more with my poetry. Add HER TREASURES on Goodreads . Buy a copy on Amazon . Check out my merch store . Listening to The two songs that have been stuck in my head for days are Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift and Drag Me Down by One Direction. Thinking about The autumn weather. There are sweet things like the crunch and color of leaves, the crisp air, cuddles and hot drinks that I love about it. Yet in reality the cold in the air is draining me. OctPoWriMo I've been meaning to participate this year but I've only written in response to a couple prompts. What matters most is if I was brave brave enough to face my fears enough to know my fears is not something to hide behind bu
