Poetry book fulfills childhood dream
The News Chief, July 3, 2006 by Jennifer Whalen
LAKE WALES - Noreen Ann Jenkins has been interested in poetry ever since she was a young girl.
As a child, she would throw her poems away, believing they were insignificant and of no value. It wasn't until she was about 12 years old, when her friend's sister gave her words of encouragement, that she decided to keep track of all the poems she wrote. She has now written more than 1,000 poems and is an established author.
In May, Jenkins' first book of poems, "You'll Learn to Love Me," was released in book stores. The Lake Wales resident includes 56 poems in her first book, which touches on subjects related to hope, love and angels. The book includes such poems as "If You Really and Truly Love Me," "Prisoner of Love" and "A Poem for Lovers."
