Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Fire In the Heart

Forbidden, deep inside her heart it grew.
It needed only one spark to ignite.
Repressing it was what she had to do.
Extraordinary was the ember’s might!

Incessantly, she had been tempted till
No longer could she fight, so she gave in!

That man she’d been resisting broke her will.
Hotter, the ember burned beneath her skin.
Exploding with passion, she then was lost. 

How quickly by lust’s flames was she consumed!
Exquisite was the burning, but at what cost?
A deep regret soon rained down; she was doomed.
Rejected by the scoundrel and bereft,
The woman, alone and with child, was left.

Written April 28, 2016 for the ELEMENTS Part 4: Fire Contest of Brian Davey

Brian Davey May 4, 2016 at 3:40 AM Fire in just more than the heart also in the pit of my stomach for men who can so easily just vanish when A baby is on the way.

CayCay Godwin April 29, 2016 at 11:53 AM I just left a disneyish poem of yours about Mothers and books for this adult-world sorrow. Cussing words, that poem just didn't work out well for her, did it?
