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
but something to push you to conquer and see more of what you love
to see you love so much more

What matters most
is if I was brave
brave enough to fight
for the freedom I deserve
for the happiness I deserve.

Thank you,

Fida

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. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming.
