In the kitchen of my creativity, I concoct a poetic recipe, blending the finest ingredients of literature and emotion. I begin with a touch of Cecilia Meireles, whose words give me a bit of grief, a somber note that adds depth and reflection to my mix.

Next, I add a generous scoop of Manoel de Barros, whisking me back to the innocence of childhood, where wonder and simplicity reign supreme.

I gently fold in Fernando Pessoa, imbuing my concoction with wisdom, his insightful musings adding layers of profound thought.

To tell me about love, I stir in Vinicius de Moraes, whose verses wrap me in warmth and passion.

A dash of Pablo Neruda opens my mind to the infinite, his expansive imagery stretching my horizons and filling my spirit with awe.

For a hearty laugh, I sprinkle in Adelia Prado, her words lightening my heart and adding joy to the mixture.

A spoonful of Chico Buarque gives voice to my unspoken thoughts, his music expressing what I often dare not say.

To season, I add a pinch of Drummondian salt, enhancing the flavors with a touch of realism and depth.

Another pinch of Gladir Cabral teaches me to care for the little birds and flowers, reminding me of the beauty in the small things and the importance of nurturing life.

To inspire me, I mix in Rubem Alves, whose words ignite my desire to live fully and meaningfully.

Finally, I sprinkle in Nietzsche, whose philosophy makes me dance with God, merging the divine with the human in a sublime waltz of existence.

Saravá poetry! With reverence and joy, I savor the richness of my creation, a testament to the power of words and the beauty they bring to my life. 🙏🏾❤️🇧🇷
