Andrea Dietrich

Her words flow like glorious music In perfect time. Her sonnets gift us with special words In lovely rhyme. A lady with the kind of style that Epitomizes the beauty and grace With the countenance of A glowing poet’s face. Brilliant words filled with imagery and emotion Her poetry cannot help but inspire Other growing poets with A yearning desire. Andrea is always right there As she sets the best example of poetry With outstanding grammar, She teaches endlessly. Andrea is my finest friend and confidant. We who are blessed to read her poetry Are enlightened by her symbiotic words In perfect harmony. © Connie Marcum Wong Tribute poem for Richard Lamoureux's Contest

Connie, Congrats for this win. It was fun going back and reading the responses this one got. To see my friends here that responded to this! I saw Elizabeth's name and realized I have not heard from her in ages. Do you know what has happened with her?

She is around but seldom comments. I heard from her last at PFT. I adore her poetry so I hope she posts again soon.

and THIS one is considered one of your best poems too. How awesome!!! well, you still have two more pages I did not even see (Of BEST poems) I think they got chosen according to number of faves we most received on our poems. I think almost everyone has about three pages shown. So they are not showing more than three pages even if we have a lot more that were faved. It's so fun to see poems this way.

This is lovely, Connie! Poems are the best gifts to be treasured always. It seems that Andrea is more than poetess supreme, she is a really good friend to many of you. That in itself is a treasure. Congratulations on your win! :)

Great! For Andrea a hymn of praise - she never ceases to amaze. I always wonder at the ease with which Andrea writes, as you say, perfect poems, and in all subjects and forms. Love, daver

As much as I treasure her poetry, I must say that I treasure her unconditional acceptance and friendship even more...She just doesn't know any other way...I owe her so much but of course she would say 'What the heck are you talking about?'...And by the way, you and she could be twins you know?...You have always been such a gentle, encouraging friend to me, Connie and I thank you for that - Tim

Dear Connie. I happened upon the 100 top recent poems at Soup and how exciting to see this one of yours on the list. Thanks again for writing this beautiful poem. I wish I were emailing you a lot more, like in the old days. Do you remember those days? When we had time to do more things? Congrats on this making the winners list too. It was exciting for me to see it on the list.

Connie, I just read your sweet comment to my Strangler's Woods poems and came here to find THIS one you just created. wow, what a sweet surprise, it's my chocolate egg I never got for Easter!! Thanks so much, Connie as I know you have so many other poet friends that could have just as easily been the topic of your poem here. You are a true and good friend forever. Luv, Andrea
