Valentine's Day, my heartbeat with longing for you.
For those who
wonder where I am? I answer: I'm around!
I have been absent
from here, however writing continues to be part of my life.
I've been
circulating, meeting new people, getting out of my comfort zone, listening, and
learning.
Here is a summary
of the main literary events of recent times:
01/01/2023 - I started drafting a new book of Poetry.
17/01/2023 - I gave the first autograph signing of the
year, at the request of a person who bought my book Nonô's Poetry Anthology.
17/01/2023 - 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - First Creative Writing
session on Femininism(s) - at Galveias Palace Library.
18 a 20/01/2023
- 25th
edition of the Course "Online Writing Techniques: Websites, Intranet,
E-Mail, Newsletter and Social Networks" - INA (without photo).
24/01/2023 - 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. - Second Creative Writing

04/02/2023 - Submission of two poems for Wislawa
Szymborska Poetry Contest.
08/02/2023 - Second wild writing session - online (no

And to be able to
focus, I had to say no to so many other opportunities that came my way.
Lately, although I
haven't created videos, I was happy to learn that Nonô Poetry channel on YouTube has two new
subscribers. This is because all of you are important to me.
Besides literature
and poetic writing, in my spare time, I also dedicate my time to numerous
activities. Here are a few:
- Gym (Belly
Dancing, Zumba, Cycling, Localized, Pound, Pilates, Yoga and Machine).
- Trips and walks
in nature and on the beach.
- Parties, events,
and concerts.
- I relax and
meditate.
And I grab every
opportunity to feel alive and above all happy.
I dedicate the
following love poem to you:
Day of love
Day of love
For single and
married
Today there's no
room for pain
Let's get excited.
Our hearts are
beating
It's time to give
While some
discourse
Others prefer to
gift.
Together we are
stronger
As friends or
companions
If you're alone
don't mind
There are still
ladies and gentlemen.
Between evil and
well-wishers
Awaken affection
Stop suffering now
Open your heart!
For today I say
goodbye with love, kisses, and a strong hug, see you soon.
M.ª Leonor Costa (Poesias da Nonô)
