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 March 29, 2020 Contest: Bio Modified Poetry Contest Sponsor: Dear Heart

Andrea, congratulations on your top win in this contest. So nice getting to see you reflected in your "bio!" Love the phrase "grounded in my Earth sign." I understand your homesickness - I too miss my childhood home.

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

Romantic realist - that is so intriguing - I'm also happy in solitude (though I definitely do not want to go on a cruise now!)

beautiful bio - do they keep a lot of bees in Utah?

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 4/2/2020 4:17:00 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!)

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

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.

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

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.

Is this your second autobiography poem this year? Very nice, and humble too. "I play with words". Smile.

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

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?
