Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Jan. 14, 2026 for Nette Onclaud's Some Kind Of Mystery Poetry Contest

A Mysterious Man

A man walks in – like Heathcliff from the moor.
Intense and smoldering are his dark eyes .
That gaze of his is the perfect lure
to make you fancy yourself as his prize.
Mysterious man with come hither ways
conquers hearts with his eyes of sable.
Is there any woman for whom he stays?
Resist him, dear, if you are able.

Bartholomew Williams January 17, 2026 at 2:51 PM In this case, yes, probably best to avoid the mysterious man and whatever secrets he may have concealed. Congrats on your #1 win, Andrea, with this intriguing rhyme!! Very best, Bartholomew

Paige Hind January 14, 2026 at 2:15 PM You did great for this contest!! Good luck!!

I Am Anaya January 14, 2026 at 12:55 PM Very nice, Andrea. Someone else wrote on Heathcliff, I read somewhere? Or is it the contest prompt, I'll check it. Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2026 at 3:46 PM Hey, thanks! I Am Anaya January 15, 2026 at 12:41 PM Ah, okay. I'm faving this! Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2026 at 11:16 AM I think Heathcliff was used once or twice in my clerihew contest recently judged. I loved the look of the actor who played him in the early 70s version movie of the story. He is the epitome of a mysterious man for me.

Kim Rodrigues January 14, 2026 at 7:34 AM Unfortunately many look for the riches not the romance. Love this! Love such scenes…make us woman swoon, then we fold into our loved one’s arms.

Joanna Daniel January 14, 2026 at 1:30 AM Oh! You nailed this contest with your lovely poem, Andrea, I don't know what to write about... Andrea Dietrich January 14, 2026 at 10:12 AM Thanks. I struggled with it too. I completely ditched the first one I did on A mysterious life.

Joe Maverick January 14, 2026 at 12:50 AM I suggest this advice is addressed to Mable.? Just a hunch..'

Howard Kerr January 14, 2026 at 12:39 AM Your usual high standard, Andrea, a definite podium placement The very best of luck with this Howard
