Where the book "Poetic Animals" was created

Marechal Carmona Park de Leonor Costa 

Hello, I was recently in the Marechal Carmona Park in Cascais and I remembered something curious about the book "Poetic Animals" (Book only available in Portuguese).

For those who don't know, "Poetic Animals" (Book only available in Portuguese) is the first book by M.ª Leonor Costa  (Nonô) and was published in May 2021.

It's a book of illustrated poetry for children and is an excellent way to familiarise your child with poetry, a subject that will be useful throughout their school career.

Returning to the curiosity that brought me here today, I'm talking about the place where the idea for this book was born, Marechal Carmona Park. If you have the opportunity to visit, you'll be enchanted by the number of animals that can be seen roaming freely in the garden. I'm talking about roosters, ducks, peacocks, turtles and a relaxing contact with nature in the heart of Cascais. For those of you who are curious to know 

For those of you who are curious to know who Marechal Carmona was, I recommend you read the article I've made available by clicking on his name.

That's all for today, I bid you farewell with poetic kisses,

INA Course at the Institute for Advanced Military Studies

23 e 24/03/2023 – It was two days of training at the Institute for Higher Military Studies in Algés. One of the things I liked were the beautiful peacocks that you can see wandering around and with spring coming they are in mating season and have beautiful feathers to show off.

By coincidence, the peacock is one of the animals illustrated in my first published book of children's illustrated poetry Poetic Animals “Animais Poéticos”.

Year 2022 Review of Nonô Poetry

 Can I read this article for you?

Year 2022 Review of Nonô Poetry

Hello, we have reached the last post of the month of November here on the Nonô Poetry blog. Christmas is 1 month away and shortly after that; another year is over.

The top ten highlights of Nonô Poetry in 2022 are:

1 - In January 2022, the odyssey of publishing Poetic Animals videos and audios ended after 7 months.

Poesias da Nonô

2 - Since this blog was created, 2022 was the year in which I published the fewest articles, about eighty articles so far (Portuguese and English).

3 - On the other hand, 2022 was the year in which I published the most on social networks. Besides promoting the blog articles, I created the Marathons: 4.7, Rose, Uni-verse and from December 1 until January 6, 2023, we will have Christmas Haikus.

4 - 2022, is also marked by the publication of the first volume of Worldly Poetry, on Amazon

Poesias da Nonô

5 - This was a year of profound changes and in April I even took a pause to reflect on the direction I should take with this project. Every entrepreneur goes through doubts and must be able to define a strategy for the future to be able to continue.

6 - 2022, was also the year I managed to get my books for sale at “Gatafunho” bookstore, in Oeiras (Portugal).

Poesias da Nonô

7 - This was also the year I went out more often to read in public, twice at the CCB and once at the Coach Museum.

8 - One of the biggest insights of the year is that between what you create and the ideas you have and what is feasible for a person, you have to keep an exceptionally good balance, a lot of motivation and determination.

9 - This was also a year of great learning.

10 - After 8 years, between attempts, mistakes, and some more accurate bets, I'm continuing to boost this solo project, whose goal is not to be so alone anymore.

 These are the most remarkable aspects of the year 2022.

 Uni-verse Marathon

The Uni-verse Marathon is almost over, it lasts until November 30th. Look for @poesiasdanono so you can attend! In this Marathon it is possible to draw some inspiration.

I say goodbye for Today

I'll be back with a new article here on the Nonô Poetry blog next Thursday, available from 6am, I hope I can count on you. From December 1 to January 6, the blog and social networks will be updated daily with Christmas Haikus, Facebook Instagram Twitter Pinterest TikTok, YouTube "podcast" audio, on Spotify Anchor, since inspiring people is my mission!

If this article was helpful, or inspiring in any way, I thank you for sharing so that more people can be inspired.

I say goodbye with our usual greeting "bye bye"!
