Hi everyone,
Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week <3
I have some very exciting news to share with you! I’ve been writing poetry for 2-3 years and it feels so good to say that I have finally put together a collection of poems that you can buy! It should be out this week and I’ll send out another email once I’ve published it. For the moment it's an ebook, but I’m really hoping to one day have a physical copy that you can touch and hold in your hands. The vision is there and I’m praying that either I raise enough to print it myself or that someone sees my vision and has the funds to back it. It's about my struggles with my mental health, and seeing as that was what led me to poetry in the first place, it feels important that my first collection reflects that and speaks to the power of allowing yourself to be vulnerable. So I’m asking that you buy my book, share it with your friends and family, and that you say a little prayer for me and the vision I have for the physical copy. Thank you!! There’ll be a preview of the book title at the bottom of the newsletter :)
Here’s two songs that have gotten me through the week!
I hope you enjoy the poems :)
Monday
I use ‘mon étoile’ often. It means my star in french and saying it out loud, it's beautiful!
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Writing this poem was very therapeutic. It unearthed some things that I didn't realise had shaped my attitude towards myself and love.
Friday
I forgot to capitalise the G in ‘Gods’ & the C in ‘Christ’!
Saturday
I write a lot about love & sexy things, but don't think I know anything ahaha! I’m just a big ball of confusing feelings and I know nothing. That’s why I write :)
Sunday
Let love stay.
Thank you for reading! I hope you witness a miracle this week.
With Love,
Oyinda
P.S. Here's a preview of the title & book cover and another song I’ve loved listening to this week!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, it’s a pleasure to read your poetry ✨
