Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Dear Dan

Dear Dan, I sit here every day in class
behind you at this desk, but barely can
I concentrate on what the teacher says,
for you are such a wonderful young man.

Since Junior high, I’ve liked you very much.
I felt entranced the first time that I saw
your sweet cute face and hair blonde like the sun.
But there’s a deeper reason I’m in awe.

It’s obvious your mind is very sharp.
I think you see I am studious too.
I bet we have a lot of things in common.
I want to know so much more about you.

And so I’m asking you out on a date.
I think you like to roller skate like me.
Can we meet at the rink on Saturday?
Your answer I’m awaiting eagerly.

*Dedicated to one of my several school crushes, Dan Olsen.
He never did talk to me and I was a bit too shy in those days
to initiate a conversation with him.

Faraz Ajmal March 9, 2019 at 1:03 PM In my previous school, I once had a crush on a girl, unfortunately I was never able to say it to her and now God knows where she is, for its been a year since I got settled in a new city and and school, sometime I do wonder that I should have gathered the strength to tell her, a letter would have been perfect, anyways there's no point in any of this now, many congratulations on your wonderful position in the contest, good luck and have a really nice day

Andrea Dietrich February 3, 2019 at 4:52 PM ok, I am glad you said you liked girls later or I'd have thought something else!! you were late bloomer I think. Silent One February 3, 2019 at 11:17 AM I was so into my sports and I didnt like girls lol... However, that changed once I started college, I think you call that high school... Andrea Dietrich February 3, 2019 at 10:42 AM you did not crush on anyone? How is that possible? Andrea Dietrich February 3, 2019 at 10:41 AM Yeah, I crushed on at least seven guys from junior high through high school. No, let's make that ten!!! Dan was the longest one!

James Horn February 3, 2019 at 7:08 AM https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/god_give_me_much_strength_1111600 Interesting you asking him out on a date, Or is that supposed to be him asking you? Brought my wife home Friday evening after 5 days in the hospital with congestive heart failure due to pneumonia. Andrea Dietrich February 3, 2019 at 4:52 PM sorry about your wife, James. As for this poem, I did it per the judge's rules. I had to ask my crush on a date!!
