My best Christmas gift 2014

My best Christmas gift

My friend Eva

Gave me a beautiful bracelet

She made it the night before

She made it with threads in her own way.

 

She tied it to my wrist with two knots

It's a multicolored bracelet

Her gesture was very affectionate

It was an act of love.

 

This was the best present of my Christmas

Not for the object itself, but for the attitude

There's nothing better to receive

Than a gift with a lot of virtue.

It's Christmas, it's Christmas

It's Christmas, it's Christmas

Let's celebrate with the family

After dinner at a good table

We'll exchange presents.

 

The party starts first thing in the morning

With its preparation

In the kitchen we gather

In great excitement.

 

Everyone does something

You have to help

At twenty o'clock on December 24th

We'll sit down at the table.

 

We eat and toast

And take the opportunity to talk

After we've eaten

We'll all get up from the table.

 

It's time to exchange gifts

Which follows

This one's for the kids

They can't contain their excitement.

 

It's after midnight

The party comes to an end

And that's the end of Christmas Eve

And tomorrow is already Christmas Day.

For today I'll say goodbye with poetic kisses.

Hello, today I'm going to tell you where Nonô was last November.

 04/11/2023 - 16h00 - IV Tertúlia Poética n'O Tasco do Strauss - Special guest: Susana Nunes

05/11/2023 - Nonô went to MAAT to see Joana Vasconcelos' Plug-in exhibition and "Mário Cesariny's Surrealist Castle", taking the opportunity to see the electricity museum. This is because museum visits are free on Sundays.

11/11/2023 and 25/11/2023 - Work at the Sintra Municipal Library                  

11/11/2023 - Poetic Dinner - at the Sintra Municipal Library

18/11/2023 - Bora Lá Mulheres - Female Entrepreneurship

28/11/2023 - Meeting session of the Writing group at the Palácio Galveias Library. This month I've been busy improving my book, but I've only attended a few meetings of this group.

29/10/2023 - Womens' AM book club - Dr. James R. Doty "Inside the Magic Shop" - Nonô read this book, took notes, and took part in this club.

Thus ends another month of poetry and prose writing, more public and behind-the-scenes work.

 Nonô 's dreams

Nonô had long dreamed of hearing her poems broadcast on the radio. One day, at the invitation of poet Ana Acto, Nonô sent three of her poems to be broadcast on Radio Sado.

I hope this is one of many appearances Nonô will make.

This section will return on December 31, 2023, until then you can follow the articles I publish.

For today, I bid you farewell with poetic kisses
