WELCOME TO MY ALLPOETRY!!

Hello everyone from ap and the outside visitors,


A brief summary of me being a poet: Poetry is what I am made of.

I dedicated myself writing poems in English not so long ago, in fact strangely enough I almost never write poems in my own language (Portuguese).

I have an habit of leaving a pen and a scrapbook at my bed side to write on and that is probably when the magic words come up.

I have learned that poetry is letting your feelings out and not worrying so much of what others think.

You will noticed that most of my poems are about love and my own experiences.
Though I can and I will write about anything and everything when I am in the mood.

I hope you will enjoy reading my poems and understand their purpose.


May light, love and joy be always with you!!

Cheers,
Fernanda (Fay)
