Andrea Dietrich Poet Dizain

Feeling Golden

Unhooking my bikini, I fall in
to Utah Lake; it’s thirteen years ago!
I’m naked, and the sun - incarnadine -
like me, has also slipped itself down low,
(though into dusk), while, I -in water -glow! 

My arms are freckle-speckled, lightly tanned.
Beneath my skin I’m feeling golden, and
my breasts are buoys, round and pearly white.
My legs kick strongly; they are lean and grand;
I’m sturdy - yes - but now I’m sweetly light!

Charlotte Puddifoot May 22, 2012 at 3:05 PM hello andrea! this one is so deserving of 1st place, I love it, some very vivid descriptions - "freckle-speckled", "breasts are buoys, round and pearly white" - and that word INCARNADINE, I don't recall hearing it before, I must look it up...busy and taking a break from poetry at the moment, dealing with health and marriage problems alas...

Cyndi Macmillan May 16, 2012 at 7:40 PM Super late personal congrats to you, Andrea. Spending the night reading poems and commenting. Though a funny monorhyme is bubbling just within reach. Again, thanks for this entry. Just wonderful. Hugs, Cyndi

Broken Butterfly April 28, 2012 at 6:10 AM Hi Andrea, I am reading this for the second time and it remains wonderful, would you go and read my poem Bella, Bella, Bella and give me your opinion, not a single person left a comment and I am thinking perhaps it is no good, I value your opinion very much. of course only if you have time.

Jack Horne April 27, 2012 at 2:54 PM lovely descriptions here, andrea

Dinda Minardi April 27, 2012 at 8:07 AM A very beautiful me-time you explained here, Andrea. Loved it, love! :)

Dalila Agtani April 26, 2012 at 11:56 PM I am just imagining now how you came out from that fall Andrea! Were there people around? Ha, ha Anyways, good luck on the contest. Love Dalila Andrea Dietrich April 27, 2012 at 9:04 AM It was getting dark and hubbie and I were the only ones on the lake (at least in that area of it) Otherwise, I would never have been so daring! It really feels good to just kick around in the nice cool water that way middle of summer! Andrea Dietrich April 27, 2012 at 9:01 AM that's what we call a deliberate fall!!

Elizabeth Wesley April 26, 2012 at 4:53 PM Oh the freedom to be nude, It is like shedding civilization! Love the descriptions you do so well; all the best in the contest Andrea (book sent Monday)

George Aul April 26, 2012 at 4:38 PM That was You that day? Just kidding......... George
