Andrea Dietrich Poet Bio

Bio Modified: Romantic Realist

Romantic
teacher, writer, fitness enthusiast and self-proclaimed movie critic
who loves family, friends, and food,
I play with words, explore interesting/controversial topics and celebrate life;
feel grounded in my Earth sign, zealous in my goals, and happy in my solitude;
fear having unresolved issues, becoming helpless in old age or suffering pain; would like to regain perfect health, take a family cruise and visit faraway friends.
Homesick for Iowa, I’ve resided 3/4 my life now, however, in the Beehive state -
Realist

CayCay Godwin April 25, 2020 at 11:43 AM I am thrilled to be right next to you on the winners list, it feels so right! If this write were nameless, I would have known this was your bio before finishing the first full line. You kept it real as did I (though brief.) So glad for our time last night - my hand still has slight phone-holdage pain and my brain is still pondering many of our topics. Love ya ...CC

Winged Warrior April 25, 2020 at 9:54 AM Congrats!! on your win Andrea...a lovely bio my friend...best wishes from the Wingster :o)

Michelle Faulkner April 2, 2020 at 4:14 PM Romantic realist - that is so intriguing - I'm also happy in solitude (though I definitely do not want to go on a cruise now!) Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2020 at 4:16 PM thanks, sweetie. I was going for that. And ya gotta be real about romance after being married 45 years. hahaha

Jack Horne April 1, 2020 at 1:47 PM beautiful bio - do they keep a lot of bees in Utah? Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2020 at 4:17 PM I don't know if they keep more bees than some other states might, but a beehive is on the flag, and it's symbol of "industrious people" (which the Mormon settlers certainly were!)

Silent One March 31, 2020 at 2:00 PM Interesting and thoughtful poem .we never forget our home..

Judy Ball March 31, 2020 at 9:36 AM Nicely done Andrea. I feel the same way. Taken from the country of my youth have lived 55 yrs. in the city with wall to wall pavement. Hate it still and long to return to nature. Great job here. God Bless, JB Soup Mail

Kenneth Cheney March 31, 2020 at 9:32 AM I believe a romantic realist who loves family, friends, and food with zealous goals makes for an outstanding biography. I pray you keep celebrating life and take that cruise. Thanks for the interesting personal perspective.

Kim Rodrigues March 30, 2020 at 9:37 PM Love hearing more about you :)

Ralph Sergi March 30, 2020 at 3:08 PM Hi Andrea: A great introspection on evolving with age At this stage of my life, I'm facing reality without recalling that I am.My second childhood coming soon. An Italian hug!

Connie Marcum Wong March 30, 2020 at 2:16 AM You have summed up your personality as I know you very well Andrea. It is difficult for me to write for this contest. I keep getting stuck. You are like the sun Andrea, bright and full of life with fire burning deep inside. xxoo Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2020 at 4:19 PM thanks so much for that. Hmm, I could have called myself sunny realist too! I was really stuck on words to use. You gotta do this one, Connie. It's not hard at all. Come on and do it.

John Watt March 30, 2020 at 1:22 AM Is this your second autobiography poem this year? Very nice, and humble too. "I play with words". Smile.

Quoth Theraven March 30, 2020 at 1:14 AM Andrea, Oh to be homesick for Iowa. What an interesting 3/4 of a life you've led. -Richard

Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2020 at 12:35 AM I wish perfect health for you every day my friend; I am still suffering - this has been ten months for me, and it is a serious thing to be suffering. I pray you will recover, and will get to again enjoy things like the family cruise. Well penned. Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2020 at 4:20 PM soupmail me sometime and remind me of your situation. So sorry to hear you are still suffering, Yes, let's hope one day we can also enjoy stuff like cruises again. Can you imagine living forever this way in limbo?

Tom Cunningham March 29, 2020 at 10:55 PM She sounds a very nice and interesting person. Well composed Andrea. Good luck. Tom
