Poem: #52poetry X

Without a hero

villain will laugh

like me and 

I am here;

        a risk

                  by the path.

Poem: #52poetry V

Dress

Scarlet, ambrosial

Alluring, kissing, worrying

Chemise, slit, dancer, teaser

Dancing, hurting, tittering

Appealing, amiable

Woman

Poem: #52poetry IV

Never Knew

It is vivid

It pounds too hard

it could burst blood

It tightens

breathing is hard

in all of a sudden

Tears won’t stream

Voice won’t cry

because these aren’t it

Poem: #52poetry III

Valerie

Wrapped bar with rice

Is a very crispy chocolate

Separated from the rest

By the ivories and ebony

This solid over dark rubber

Petite and skin that shines

I work not on the weekends

Not even once you got showered

Sometimes I go out by myself

And I leave you on your own

Dusty to the ever-changing wind

Got drizzled over and no wipes

Valerie how long I’ve been gone?

Not sprinkling you with snowy bubbles

and placing bread scented wax in a jar

Still not yet set you for a saloon

I favour travelling with you

Only through the day since

the night blinds my two eyes

So today we got to be leaving

Where Marigold dropped the cotton candy

Chapbook Journey: Some stuffs on bookbinding

I'm starting a new entry list called

  Chapbook Journey

Since I'm a fan of poetry and I do write some 

(I'm such a newbie please support me)

and I actually LOVE doing it, 

and after some time and I think I'm ready

(might be) and after some research, study, and thoughts, 

and that perfect timing, the art block and etc

I want to make some.

I do,

And I really want to.

Start small and keep doing it

and just fall in love with yourself.

SO

I discovered some good techniques that can be used to make our own books!

I'm a huge fan of cute books!

and a fan of making them by own hands too!

Book Binding Glue Version

Obviously I go for tutorial that use things that are easy to find.  From where I live it's hard to get the so many craft tools and even if we do have them, it'll cost an arm an a leg DX.  My favourite out of these will be the first one, I even search for Mod Podge and I found it!

Also I've  bind books before, normal stacks folded thin papers, stapled, then I used to make accordion mini album; hard cover bound *smirk* (now where did I put them???) and I really enjoy making them.  It has been a long time since I last made some.

Poetry: Erasure

"Erasure is a form of found poetry or found art created by erasing words from an existing text in prose or verse and framing the result on the page as a poem."

Writing: Links and more links

I just finished reading Sharon Creech's Love That Dog, a verse novel.  I just learnt the term from this book and OMG how I really am falling in love with this kind of writing!  I always wanted to write a novel but I always feel that I am way behind and not good enough and I am, I am being hard on myself :( .  So with this, I want to give it a try.

I like this book eventhough it is for children, but come on! Even the ugliest thing can be an inspiration to us, right?

Next stop will be of the same author, 'Hate That Cat'.

I'm not going to write a review on these books yet because I am eager to share some other stuff.

Then, I searched for 'Verse novel' on Pinterest for tips and explanation and all.  Then, this is how I came across with these links below:

YA Novels in Verse

I cannot believe that there are thousands of similar books and I really need them now!  Oh how I wish I can download them for free or have them sold here in my place.  I got my eyes on a few titles already; The Crossover by Kwame Alexander.  And yeah this site is called Brightly which offers you a lot of insights regarding writing and they are really useful to us, especially teachers and parents.  Their main focus is on kids, tho.

BookXcess

This is Malaysian online bookstore which sells many titles but I didn't find any on verse novel so far, not yet.  Their prices are awesome too, discounts here and there.  We can make ourselves an account to make purchase or you can just use your Facebook account.  I prefer the second :P 

Fiction Notes

I just found this and subscribed to this site's newsletter to get a free e-book haha!

Eventho I just found this site but I can tell it is amazing already.  The site is pretty too and convincing.  This site is made by Darcy Pattison who is an author and I believe, the owner of this site, (of course!).  She published many types of books including children's books and often offer tips on better writing which I will make most of it.  I never found her books before but now I feel like buying at least one of hers.
