Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

A Weeping Willow Mourns

I stand in constant grace
donned in my virescent cape
where yon brooklet I face
which flows through verdant landscape.

Young sweethearts seek my shade.
So happy ere they leave,
sweet love they have made!
Lonely again, I then grieve.

Knowing not each couple's fate
- wondering and weeping - I wait.

Sanket Jain February 2, 2018 at 7:35 PM Title is superb. Beauty of a poem means use of rhetorical devices. Alliteration used in title is a nice one. Poem makes us laugh, cry, prickle, silent.So did this one. I am deeply touched. Assonance is north line is nicely penned. Good poem. And yes, Review Pari Style Poem to encourage me.

Carole Duet January 22, 2018 at 8:33 PM Hi Andrea and congrats on your win too. And, yes, I am the sad lover back under your "virescient cape" and you, my friend, the willow, are weeping with me. Maybe we should try a collab and combine our poems. What do you think? Carole :D P.S. Soup mail me.

CayCay Godwin January 20, 2018 at 10:32 AM Truly a gem, even though I need to look up virescent, I felt the poem radiate with emotion that took me in. This is another beauty with impressive words smoothly blending. I know this will do well. Love ... CayCay

Joseph P. DiMino January 19, 2018 at 9:10 PM This is very beautiful, Andrea; I love the personification of nature. I really do feel the spirit of trees and animals, at times also sense their thinking and longing as if we are all of one blood. Divinely written work. Thank you for sharing.

Becca Teagan January 18, 2018 at 9:04 PM this is gorgeous, Andrea! You're very good at these rhyming poems! Thank you for your very sweet compliment on my poem. Hugs

Richard Lamoureux January 18, 2018 at 7:09 PM I too don't understand James's comments. Mind you he has the most poems written in the history of the universe. Each of them is as meaningful as the one written before and after the other one that was written before that one followed by the thee and added to the 90th power of infinity. Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2018 at 7:14 PM lol. nobody could have said it better. I've yet to really know if he likes one of my poems!

Joseph May January 18, 2018 at 3:23 PM Very nicely penned Andrea..
