Six Reasons to read “Worldly Poetry”

1 - It is a book that can be acquired in one or more versions, with a choice of six different options (two bilingual Portuguese English; two in Portuguese and two in English - between physical books and e-books);

2 - The poems refer to Nonô Poetry blog - updated content, which may be optimized in the future.

3 - It's a kind of self-help book in the form of poetry, since reading each poem may be just what you need to know or read.

4 - It's a book that can be acquired in bilingual Portuguese-English format, only in Portuguese, or only in English - it's up to the reader to choose.

5 - It is available in paper format and/or as an e-book, being a good companion to take anywhere or to have on your bedside table.

6 - Finally, by buying one of these books you will be helping me fulfill my life mission, to inspire people through my creations. 

 Reading three poems

I have randomly chosen three poems that I transcribe below and that I will also read in the video and podcast.

I say reading because I don't consider myself a declaimer. I am a poetess; I love to write and even more when I am read to.

Being unique

I am unique

You are unique

He/She is unique

We are unique

You are unique

They are unique

To be unique is not a verb

It is a quality

An adjective that contains in itself

A lot of truth

We are all unique beings

There is within us the gift of uniqueness

Never let anyone tell you otherwise

For, you are unique in reality.

Petals rain

Spring has arrived

The trees began to blossom

The weather got worse

And the petals began to fall.

Followed one by the other and slowly

Around them a beautiful mantle spread

A view that doesn't stay forever

You only see what the wind didn't carry away.

It’s an authentic rain

Falling of various trees

It fits like a glove

And has many beautiful colors.

Life is like it has to be

Life takes many turns

Nothing is forever

Not everything is the way you like it

And everything changes suddenly.

There's no use avoiding

What's bound to happen

No use planning

It's better to let it all flourish.

Time goes by

Much is happening

Life is changing

Willing or not wanting to.

It's not worth getting discouraged

It is necessary to understand

You got to believe

Life is like it has to be.
