Andrea Dietrich

My humble tribute to our dear poetess of Soup, Andrea Dietrich as she will be celebrating her birthday on September 5. I am posting this poem earlier, so that she gets more wishes on her birthday and that it be a memorable one. A brilliant poetess of the Soup family, Never does she fail to encourage new poets; Diligent in doing her duties with zeal, Relishes watching movies and writing reviews, Enjoys cooking and eating healthy food. At home, a loving wife, mom and gramma. Dedicated in doing her job as a teacher. Inspite of her busy schedule, I wonder when I see Each day, a fresh exquisite flower of verse, That blooms and adorns her poetic rockery; Reaches out to all dear members of Soup, Inspiring them with her genuine comments; Cheerful, charming, lively and fun-loving: Her upcoming birthday will be incomplete sans all your wishes friends

Wow, Paula just came to my Soupmail and let me know of this poem, Anitha. What a lovely lovely friend you are. I am in awe of your writing ability. English is not even your native language, yet you write with better grammar than a few American poets I know! I love you, dear sweet poetess. Thanks so much for this! In my current poem I mention being 66. That will be my age tomorrow (I always anticipate my birthdays a year ahead so I won't be too shocked when I turn the new age!!) A fave for sure!
