Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Originally a winner in a contest of Chantelle Anne Cooke

Becoming the Sea At Sunset

One painting shows a twilight sky.
I gaze at it. It makes me sigh.
I stand there for the longest time.
Inside my mind there comes a rhyme.

Beneath the brilliant sky I see
the waters of infinity.
And staring at the wondrous scene,
I’ve now dissolved into its dream.

I’ve turned into the waves that rise,
which match the blue-green of my eyes.
And as I rise, I long to touch
the hues of sky I love so much.

Deep violet and rosy pink 
of sunset’s sky begin to sink
into the briny depths of me.
I’m rhythm, rhyme, and sky and sea!

Connie Marcum Wong December 28, 2021 at 12:30 PM This is a beauty I missed reading Andrea. I was dealing with a lot this summer and Poetry took a real back seat at that time. I absolutely love this poem and it is going into my Faves! I love the connection with nature you express so eloquently. I wish you the happiest of New Years. Blessings xxoo Connie Marcum Wong December 28, 2021 at 12:31 PM I forgot to Congratulate you on your first placement in Brian’s contest. xxoo

John Watt November 22, 2021 at 12:39 PM Andrea, some delightful imagery of sea, sky, and sunset all coalescing into poetry. 'I’ve now dissolved into its dream'... I feel that way sometimes when observing nature's beauty or the transcendence of gorgeous poetry such as this. Stunning and lovely, congrats on your win with Chantelle.
