Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatrain

A Brilliant Light

A brilliant light I see while leaving earth's grey mist.
Approaching it, I see inside of its white glow -
the precious smiling souls of those I've loved and missed.
Sweet clarity! All things I'd wondered - now I know.

Janice Canerdy December 31, 2024 at 7:25 AM Andrea, you have succinctly and beautifully conveyed a sweet Biblical truth: We WLL know them! CONGRATS on your well-deserved win. Janice Andrea Dietrich December 31, 2024 at 10:13 AM Thanks so much, Janice

Terry Miller December 31, 2024 at 1:16 AM Beautiful poem, well deserved win, congratulations Andrea Dietrich December 31, 2024 at 10:13 AM Thanks, Terry. I almost forgot this really old poem of mine.

Line Gauthier December 30, 2024 at 7:23 PM Lovely rhyming poem with a sublime message ~ love how you expressed your last line with a burst of emotion: "Sweet clarity! All things I'd wondered - now I know." ~ Beautiful! Andrea Dietrich December 30, 2024 at 10:08 PM Wow. Thanks so much. This helps take away the sting of being smashed in two of Brian's last contests

John Watt April 15, 2020 at 11:16 PM Andrea, nice to see this one in the winner's circle with its beautiful message and nicely cadenced iambic hexameter, which I think is kind of rare for you. But you know, meter and syllable count is not the same thing *wink* ;^) John Watt April 15, 2020 at 11:17 PM I meant the iambic hexameter is kind of rare for you, not the nicely cadenced part. That is a given for your poetry!
