Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Amaretto

Apricot pits can be

Added to a base of

Almonds, and you will have

An Italian liqueur,

A little bitter, but

Also so alluring

As sweet Tiramisu!

Tom Arnone August 12, 2016 at 11:43 AM I never thought about the contents or making of Amaretto until I read this poem. You are a learning experience. "Conflation of amaro ("bitter") and amore ("love") has led to associations with romance" -- Wikipedia.

Matthew Anish August 11, 2016 at 9:31 PM I love Tiramisu but I have to watch my sugar. A tasty poem. Went to a reading tonight at Poets House and stood up and read 2 poems. How is your health? I pray you are O.K. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Connie Marcum Wong August 11, 2016 at 9:08 PM OMG, I love Tiramisu! We have two places here who make it divinely. This is superb as a Pleiades Andrea. You did your homework and I am sure it will pay off! : ) 7

Paul Callus August 11, 2016 at 10:54 AM A most delicious topic you do tempt us with, Andrea....both Amaretto and enjambment have served you well! Regards // paul

Tim Smith August 11, 2016 at 8:06 AM Ok...I'll be over to get one...going to be driving past Muscatine on Sunday...taking my oldest to college...U of Iowa.

James Inman August 11, 2016 at 8:03 AM Nice write Andrea, I love a good Tiramisu.

Daniel Turner August 11, 2016 at 7:50 AM When I think of Amaretto, I think of drinks like orgasm, godfather mixed with a little vodka and yummm.This is one of the best I have read but there is some pretty tough competition. Good luck Andrea.

James Horn August 11, 2016 at 7:42 AM AD, Looks like your poetry writing has slowed down also. This summer here is something else. Did Obama along with Hillary actually create ISIS? Jim

D.A Hopkins August 11, 2016 at 7:30 AM Very cool and I have to say that I now have a great deal of need to get some Tiramisu in my tummy. I am very interested in the poetry you have to share. I thank you for your time and knowledge of this fine talent of writing.
