Poems with Insight and Impact!

By Nicole Rachelle Sprankles

Poems with Insight and Impact was written in an attempt to quench my thirst for knowledge and development. This exploration allowed soul searching. My look, within, gave me direction toward the destination for which I strive.
My poems were inspired by friends, family, and my significant other. My love, for them, is the pulse in my veins, the energy of my soul.
It is my hopes, that sharing the exploration, of my feelings, may aid inspiration or gain focus in someones search for life direction. Open-minded, positive influence can be life changing. Perhaps, I may ease a readers life struggle or supplement their fulfillment.
Anthony Hopkins suggests, I expect nothing and accept everything. With this wonderful philosophy in mind, accept the gift of my thoughts. The value may be priceless to many.

Dedication

I want to dedicate this poetry book to my Senior Honors English teacher, Ms. Hilda Studebaker (aiding depth, precision, and symbolism in my writing), my father, Gene Meyer (leading me to diversify and face challenges), and the man whom inspired all poems, Lenion Bennett (challenging me to develop my writing and feelings). These three people are strong influences in my ability to share inspiration through my poetry. In addition to my poetry influences, I would like to thank my mother and father for setting examples of what I do and don’t want to become.

"To have experienced a second of agape

Love is to have truly lived !!!!"

Lenion D. Bennett
