Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Andrea Dietrich

Her words flow like glorious music 
In perfect time.
Her sonnets gift us with special words
In lovely rhyme.
A lady with the kind of style that 
Epitomizes the beauty and grace
With the countenance of
A glowing poet’s face.
Brilliant words filled with imagery and emotion
Her poetry cannot help but inspire
Other growing poets with
A yearning desire.
Andrea is always right there
As she sets the best example of poetry
With outstanding grammar,
She teaches endlessly.
Andrea is my finest friend and confidant.
We who are blessed to read her poetry
Are enlightened by her symbiotic words
In perfect harmony.

Andrea Dietrich February 13, 2015 at 12:08 AM Connie, Congrats for this win. It was fun going back and reading the responses this one got. To see my friends here that responded to this! I saw Elizabeth's name and realized I have not heard from her in ages. Do you know what has happened with her? Connie Marcum Wong March 4, 2015 at 9:52 PM She is around but seldom comments. I heard from her last at PFT. I adore her poetry so I hope she posts again soon.

Jan Allison February 11, 2015 at 6:34 PM What a wonderful tribute - many congrats on your win:-) Hugs jan xxx Connie Marcum Wong February 11, 2015 at 11:09 PM Thank you very much Jan. I don't know how you keep up. I am struggling to read and comment and my laundry and housework are waiting. Smile...Cheers, Connie

Andrea Dietrich March 22, 2014 at 7:50 PM and THIS one is considered one of your best poems too. How awesome!!! well, you still have two more pages I did not even see (Of BEST poems) I think they got chosen according to number of faves we most received on our poems. I think almost everyone has about three pages shown. So they are not showing more than three pages even if we have a lot more that were faved. It's so fun to see poems this way.

Eileen Manassian May 4, 2013 at 10:13 PM This is lovely, Connie! Poems are the best gifts to be treasured always. It seems that Andrea is more than poetess supreme, she is a really good friend to many of you. That in itself is a treasure. Congratulations on your win! :)

Daver Austin April 30, 2013 at 12:13 PM Great! For Andrea a hymn of praise - she never ceases to amaze. I always wonder at the ease with which Andrea writes, as you say, perfect poems, and in all subjects and forms. Love, daver

Tim Ryerson April 5, 2013 at 7:59 PM As much as I treasure her poetry, I must say that I treasure her unconditional acceptance and friendship even more...She just doesn't know any other way...I owe her so much but of course she would say 'What the heck are you talking about?'...And by the way, you and she could be twins you know?...You have always been such a gentle, encouraging friend to me, Connie and I thank you for that - Tim
