The Poetteer

Hello Poetteers, What I Read I recently read ' How to Cure a Ghost ' by Fariha Roisin. I gave it 5 stars. These poems are about experiences as an immigrant and Muslim. They were heartbreaking, beautiful and empowering. Some pieces made me feel seen. Many more told much needed stories that people need to know. Other reviews said it better: it packed a punch and asked me to hold my heart. What I Wrote I've written 6 poems this month about faith, culture, self love and friendship. Some pieces were inspired by other poems, life experiences and conversations I had. What did you read or write this past month? Stay inspired, Fida 

Hello Poetteers, What I Read I re-read Peaches for Monsieur le Curé by Joanne Harris . It captured my attention and took me by surprise with the chaos and mystery. It’s also heartwarming. Blue Horses by Mary Oliver : My favorite pieces are “Rumi”, “No Matter What” and “Loneliness”. I love the themes of nature and God. She Wore Red Trainers by Na'ima B. Robert : This story is sweet and tender. It shows the obstacles one can face with family. It shows the importance of faith and family. My only issue is that the ending felt a bit rushed. What I Wrote 8 poems about anxiety, living in a small town, being muslim and culture. What did you do in Jan? stay inspired, Fida
