Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I just googled the subject of this poem. You can see him here , still as handsome as ever, some 40 years later!!!   http://frogleychiropractic.com/about.html

Dream Boy

My favorite verse from THE soft rock song of my youth
Hit song of 1969 by the Carpenters:

(They Long To Be) Close To You
    (middle stanza of the song)

"On the day that you were born

the angels got together and decided

to create a dream come true

so they sprinkled moon dust in your hair

of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue."

Dream Boy

To fall for him I needed just one look
and after that, he had me on his hook -
a fact which I’m not sure he even knew!
Dream boy with hair of gold and eyes of blue.

I lived for those church dances in his town.
I’d see him there but always feel let down.
Girls followed him around. What could I do?
Dream boy with hair of gold and eyes of blue.

Not being in his orbit or his school,
I longed for him and simply played the fool.
The fantasy for me would not come true!
Dream boy with hair of gold and eyes of blue.

Dedicated to Chris Frogley, wherever now he may be.

For the "I Love Rock 'N roll" Poetry contest of Kelly Deschler

Elizabeth Wesley July 25, 2011 at 8:57 PM Loved the Carpenters too, a romantic verse that sounds kind of sad at the end.

Jack Horne July 25, 2011 at 3:29 PM Lovely tribute to Mr Frogley - perhaps he's still being chased by the ladies now!

Robert Johnson July 24, 2011 at 4:21 PM Golly Gee! I sure can relate. Wanting just a date. The Carpenters were heaven sent. Chris Frogley's destiny? Well who knows where that went. Good luck in the contest. It's not all just paying rent.

Don Johnson July 24, 2011 at 4:32 AM Yes we are immortal spirit, we come into a baby born, with its bloody limit, and re learn a new form, without a clue whats in it???

Don Johnson July 24, 2011 at 4:17 AM The longing thingy, I worked with a guy who always said Don I have a longing for you, jokingly, i think? Great story n verse babe, xo, Don

Linda-Marie Sweetheart July 23, 2011 at 2:20 PM oh how great this one is..luv the song by the Carpenters.. luv the flow of your Rhyme ..and refrain.. good luck in the contest.. and so can relate..my sixth grade luv was James Woods ..blonde hair and blue eyed boy .. Irish as they come and so handsome ..what a smile..but his hear belong to my nemesis Sheila Shaeffer wherever she may be..oh..he lives in Florida now..oh..

Daver Austin July 23, 2011 at 10:41 AM Glad I didn't break your heart with my humor concerning the Frog Prince. I was so fat my first year of high school that the girls merely laughed. Fat wasn't in in 1945. But when you are fat and play the violin - aghhhh! RETCH! I hope it is cool down there in Utah. Love, daver

Sara Kendrick July 22, 2011 at 12:33 PM Enjoyed reading this one..I too have enjoyed those lyrics..So expressive work about your love..Good luck in the contest..Reads like winning material to me..Thanks for the understanding review of my work..Sara

Wilma Neels July 22, 2011 at 12:16 PM In a way I am glad you never really got together or kissed for that matter, imagine what route your life might have taken.. Lol.. Good luck for Chris' contest Andrea ;) lfde Wilma

Daver Austin July 22, 2011 at 11:04 AM You are only too human, dear. BUT! Frogley? Too bad you didn't get just one kiss - he may have turned into a handsome prince. Hey! I know the feeling and sympathize completely. Love, Dave

Carol Sunshine Brown July 22, 2011 at 11:00 AM ~~Magnificent~~ writing today Andrea. The best to you in the contest. I am going to try and get some entries done this weekend and post them Monday if the Soup is up and running then. I agree with you all gossip is not bad.Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Carol

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2011 at 8:49 AM :) This is so sweet, Andrea, and I always enjoyed the Carpenters' songs. You picked a great quote and I'm sorry you and your dream boy Chris never got together. My first infatuation was with a blonde-haired, blue-eyed altar boy who wanted to become a priest. LOL Best wishes in Chris's awesome contest. He gives us such great inspiration, doesn't he? Love, Carolyn
