Gloria D. Gonsalves

Don__ break a neck looking up for God. Try looking down at inspiring human deeds.

Nothing that the Creator gave is of unworthiness.

Take, this day, my handand promise to absolvewhat my forefathers and I didto you and your kin.

We are all angelic.Offspring of godly relic,accept and be prophetic.

There's a thin boundary between the light and dark side. Both are fervent to reign in the space of the other.

Give yourself a break from any holy book andstart looking at others as you want to be looked at.

No matter what justification you have for your feelings, you cannot wish harmful things on others.

This is the sinking womanwhose soul touched the ocean andcaused it to storm kisses.

Writing as a creative art flourishes only when there are no rules. Rules stifle you from entering the silent and forbidden spaces where the core of the story is waiting to be revealed.

As a writer, the main skill you need is curiosity. As a reader, the main tool you need is open-mindedness.

Did you ever ask yourself if each one of us pursued a high educational degree, who would do the skilled manual work? Craftsmanship may not earn us the money we want but that does not mean we should scorn on anyone doing it. We are obliged to be respectful and grateful to anyone using their hands to clean our households, trim our hedges,carpentry our furniture, farm our food, crafts the objects we collect and gift, style our hairs, etc. Next time you encounter a crafts person acknowledge their manual competence.

Gender is not only women and sexual orientation has multiple choices.

Home is where the heart unveils.

A badly written novel can always be shortened to a poem.

Poetry rhymes, a song our souls need to nourish upon. Poetry is a drum, a sound our bodies wish to have. Poetry is organized, a reading our eyes wish to view. Poetry is refined, a structure our moral selves seek. Poetry is civil, instigating the world to remain sane. Poetry is not ordinary, but it needs the ordinary eyes to continue to be the interesting art form of expression. Poetry is like a child communicating, who later grows to be an adult communicating in prose.

Poetry is not difficult. If you possess one of the five senses, poetry is in it. If you can compose text message, tweet or Facebook status, you can write poetry. If you can rap a song, you can rhyme poetry. If you can memorise a prayer, you can recite poetry. If you struggle to make sense of formatted text, poetry is your call.

Poetry is __aw feelings as sunny summer,fiery turmoil as vibrant autumn,daunting revelation as stormy winter,intrepid hope as blooming spring.

Poetry is not for poets, poetry lovers or perceived poetic persons only. Poetry is in yourself, others and everything of nature and man-made.Poetry may not be a solution, yet it can reveal or ease challenges faced.Poetry is capable of affecting any heart.
