The Poetteer

Hello Poetteers, I understand having a tight budget. Exactly like you outline your book, plan your finances ahead of time. Think of the long term return on investment. Readers can be touched by your poetry and spread the word about it. Readers will also notice the mistakes. Their reviews will affect your sales. Mistakes pull the reader out of the book. People won't pick up a badly edited book. Professional editing will lead to better sales. If you can’t pay in full upfront, you can work with the poetry editor to have a payment plan. Is your poetry (book) ready to be edited? Message me if you’re interested in working with me. stay inspired, Fida

Hello Poetteers, Feedback can be a hit or miss. I understand that. Sometimes your voice and style is disregarded. As an editor I will keep in mind your style and voice. The edits are suggestions not requirements. Before we get started request a sample edit to see if we are a good fit. Let me know what you’re looking for. I provide several editing rounds to work with you to get the best results you need for your poetry. For more information, check out my editing service . Email me when your poetry (book) is ready to be edited.  Stay inspired, Fida 

Hello Poetteers, Nourished My soul most nourished when I'm awake with  myself at the bookstore hanging out with my mom hearing from my friends better when I see them My soul most nourished when I pray and meditate with yoga when I finally find a moment to write in my journal When I learn about my faith learn to love.

A (first line) B (second line) a (rhymes with first line) A (repeat first line) a (rhymes with first line) b (rhymes with second line) A (repeat first line) B (repeat second line) I didn’t think I would like the poem but I do. You may remember I don’t really like rhyme end words but I do love repetition. Rhyme end words felt forced and made the piece feel lighthearted. I love the word choice I came up with. If I didn’t write the poem like this I don’t think I would have used some of those words. It fits well. Honesty   if I’m being honest I love that the sun is shining  but I felt like an antagonist being here, around you  if I’m being honest  I feel strongest  when I’m trying to capture it in writing  if I’m being honest  I love that the sun is shining but I can’t feel it on my face I can’t breathe  the
