American Angel... For Andrea Dietrich

Andrea is an ambassador of alluring art
Noble, she is nice and nifty both day or night
Dedicated, dutiful and dogged like a dart
Resourceful, she’s got a mind… real and rapt
Experienced, she’s undoubtedly an exquisite expert
Amiable, her alluring attitude flows from her heart.

Darling, she’s got a friendly figure… not a fart!
Intriguing, her intellectual prowess is intact
Excellent, she is a fountain of love and light
Talented teacher: she instills, inspires and imparts
Realistic, her opinions are … in black and white
Interested in kickboxing, music, aerobics… so smart
Creative: particularly in prose and poetry… I doff my hat
Homely: she is a mother and grandma with a happy heart! 
                           Dedicated to Andrea Dietrich

Adeleke, a fav for this sweet verse, and thanks for inspiring me to know what I'll blog about next! I need to go back and read your bio because I can't recall if I read it all or not, and you certainly deserve for me to know all I can know about you. Have a wonderful day. Today 's TGIF (thanks God it's Friday), my favorite day of the week, which just got even better) LUv,Andrea

OH, my goodness, Adeleke, another poem about me. I am going to get the fattest head EVER. A few of your lines were so funny, I laughed out loud. A friendly figure, not a fart. Oh, Adeleke, what a sweetie pie you are!! I can tell from this that you took the time to actually read my bio. how else would you know about the kickboxing? Thank you so much, Adeleke. I guess I will be another of your "moms" here at Soup!! (I am not much of a maternal person, but for you, I will be a mom!) Luv, Andrea

A wonderful tribute to one of my favorite Soupers, Adeleke. Didn't know about the "kickboxing," but she certainly is "an ambassador of alluring art." You could have won your own contest! Love, "ma"
