Sweetest Life

To Warsaw
Lewisburg
Berlin and back...

Surfacing, I gasp

I have never been known to love like this

I have believed
I have been meticulous

Cheryl Newton

I have been seriously writing poetry since I was in my early twenties. I am 38 now. I write in my down time. By day I am a busy oncology nurse. At night I turn into a delicious poetress."Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.” ~AristotleThis is only a very small selection of my poems. I have written over 100 (and counting) Love that there is such a great venue as this for those of us who are so creative. =) POETS ROCK! more…
