What a fantastic poetry gathering last night, with exquisite partakers! I have been so honoured and delighted to join 8 wonderful, gifted ladies for a meaningful and inspiring poetry reading.

Heartiest thanks to the author and TEDx Speaker, Stacy Ardis Dyson for the kind invitation to join them in the Tesoro sisterhood. Deepest thanks to all the poetesses for their amazing poems shared in the event. Poetry is, indeed, a fire element!

In a particular note, I contributed to the evening not only with few poems from my latest poetry collection, ‘There are no goodbyes for us’ but also with my Romanian poem ‘Fata cu varza din Banat’ (published in ‘Visarile Dintre Castani’, Siono, 2021).

It was just wonderful! Thank you, girls!

Happy Poetry Month!

I’m Simona

One day, I tumbled from a tiny star called Dream and landed in a cup of Hope, just beyond the zone of hard work, where daily wishes meet reality.

I’ve always dreamed of visiting Antarctica, though I haven’t made it there yet! Until then, I journey through the intricate landscapes of the human body in my work at the hospital, tracking the unseen stories of cells.

When I step outside my comfort zone, you might find me on a train to Eastbourne, Matlock, or Canterbury, breathing in the fresh air and gathering inspiration. I return with pockets full of poetic ideas, though time rarely lets me write them all down.

London’s endless rainy days often set the stage for my impromptu singing performances on my way to work. I love dancing too, especially the waltz, though I’m a bit too shy to twirl in the rain.

I have a soft spot for pasta, coffee, chocolate, and a good laugh. Politics might elude me, but the human soul does not. And if there’s one thing I believe in, it’s this: Love is our strongest emotion, survival instinct, and essential need.
