by Sally Ann Fenton-Sherrick (Author)
Parable Poems is a book of religious, family-based stories in a poem format. Some poems are from my own personal experiences and the personal experiences of family and friends. All my poems are inspired by God, meaning he has given me the words to express my feelings and the feelings of others in a message that everyone can relate to in their own personal lives.
Author Biography
About the Author Parable Poems was written by Sally Ann Fenton- Sherrick Inspired by God. I started writing poetry after the death of my Father in 2010. I never shared my poems with my Family and Friends until 2014. Many of them were surprised at the writings but were more surprised how they were written. Before I write a poem I get a feeling of anxiety. Then I keep hearing the first line of the poem, over and over again in my mind. After writing the first line I can see a mental snapshot of what the next line must say. Many times as I tried to explain what I was seeing some of the lines began to rhyme. So each time afterwards as I described the mental picture in my mind, I tried to make them rhyme to make the story easier to understand. When writing a poem I never know what it is about or how it ends until I finish. I don't pick the topics or the storyline. I just write what I hear and see. I am just a small town country girl with a High School Education. I was raised in the Brethren Church since birth. I have had no formal Religious Training. I married my Wonderful husband Robert in 1973. We together have raised 2 Wonderful Children. And are the Proud Grandparents of 3 Handsome Grandsons. If the Message delivered in any of my Poems leads just one soul to know Jesus Christ as their Savior, then my Life's Purpose on this earth has been fulfilled.
