Black Beetle

-

 



free - verse beetle poem inspired by 'Baby tortoise' by D.H Lawrence

 

Tiny black beetle, you move so gently,

gripping the surface with your slightly bent curves of your six legs, 

wobbling slightly, chubby soot-black beetle...

your abdomen shacking...your furry legs take you on voyages, through

the mossy surfaces that clog your legs a little... hard roots, making you bob up and down.

you're crouched back, and lowered head with lovely

antennas of separated orange-coloured sections of three, so detailed...

Dark, smooth chocolate.

Innocent, bottom furry one...

your body sliced smoothly into three, largest to smallest, 

oh so gentle, tiny black beetle.

                                               Assalamualykum everyone! It's Hanah here! I'm excited to share with you the gifts I received from my sister on Eid, they were all handmade with love and we thoroughly enjoyed making them for each other!    This gesture was inspired due to  Crafty Muslimahs , we really admire how they make handmade gifts for each other for Eid.   Making these crafts took a month or so - we didn't expect to make so much for each other, however we found it pretty addictive to make the gifts, and the best part was we did not show each other our gifts, it was definitely hard to keep it secretive until Eid, but we did it! One gift a day, made with the labour of love added to 13 in all! As the saying goes : " A little progress everyday adds up to BIG RESULTS! " Today is part 1 and I'll be sharing you the gifts I received from my sister! So here's an overlook at all the gifts my sister gave me on Eid!      ( I can't believe the am

                                               Assalamualykum everyone!                              We have an obsession for jars, we think they look so adorable. Every time we find a jar we recycle them into something cute.  Today we thought to show you 5 different ways to decorate jars!  Probably we might have shown some of these in some of our past posts, however we thought it would be nice idea to include all the jars in this specific post. And now, let's begin! This  jar is one of our best, it's a nebula jar and we really love the pastel colours in it! We reused this jar and we really like the gold lid! Next, we have this bottle with a heart on it's lid, we think it looks so cool!   we used this jar, We then added some shredded paper inside the jar, Using glue, we sprinkled glitter on the middle of the jar's lid, we made sure to leave the gold border around the lid. we used air dry clay to shape a heart,once it was dry we painted over it, and then we sprinkled  a
