Abstract
This paper explores poetry as narrative. Creating poetry is a reflective process that feeds personal and aesthetic knowing. When the Poet and the Nurse meet, a powerful alliance is created between head and heart, nursing science and nursing art. Poetic stories fabricate a mosaic of images, a tapestry of wisdom and understanding about the unique and universal aspects of living and dying. Through hearing stories and telling their own, nurses come to know themselves and others, their feelings, the depth of human experience, and the meaning of caring. Several examples of poetic stories are presented.
