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!
