Poetry is the whisper of the soul that captures fleeting moments of beauty and of truth.

The first publication of 'Visions in Verse' by Cheryl Leonhardt

I am someone who appreciates life!

I am an educator -trained in pedagogy and andragogy.

I write poems and short stories.

I am a motivational speaker.

I am from the island of Jamaica! I grew up in the parish of Hanover.

I served my country as a teacher of English, Literature, Literacy and Theatre Arts for many years.

I am a Caribbean child!

My desire is to use my talents and my experiences to lift, to rescue and to inspire others.

I want to dry the tears of the bruised.

I want to pour love in the bones that wither.

I want to give back from what I've been given.

Within me is a deep well of emotion and curiosity. These are often stirred by the endless wonders and sorrows of the world.

I have a relentless drive to capture fleeting moments and preserve them in stories.

An unquenchable thirst for understanding and expression fuels my every word, making me a writer.

The whispers of the wind in the twilight hush,

The tales of old in books with pages worn,

The vibrant hues of dawn's first gentle blush,

The silent strength of mountains, weathered, torn,

In nature's pulse and wisdom's quiet grace,

I find my soul, my thoughts, my heart's embrace.

'Visions in Verse' contains poems written over a few years. It is my offer to you!

Take the time to hold my book in your hands.

Turn each page and travel to unknown destinations with different views of the sunset.

It is the best decision you will ever make!
