Andrea Dietrich Poet Sijo

First Kiss

His boyish charm; his arm around my shoulder; my fluttering heart.
His lips softly met mine, and in that long, smooth hot summer night’s kiss,
all that I’d longed for in my fourteen years suddenly blossomed.

Kash Poet July 21, 2013 at 12:17 PM Hmmm...by the way where is GLEN some people below mentioned in their comments.Not found now in the poem. Andrea Dietrich July 22, 2013 at 11:16 PM hmm, I wonder why I removed my tribute to Glen on this poem. Yes, he was the inspiration: a good old southern boy and son of a preacher man!

Robert Johnson January 31, 2012 at 3:30 PM I forgot what I remember. Was it July or november. When she wooed me to the back seat of her car. I woke up in the morning, had forgot about the warning. That it's not polite for girls to go that far.

Maureen Lefanue January 31, 2012 at 2:54 PM It sure will be a joyous day, Andrea. Who knows we could be neighbors. There's going to be a lot of people in the new earth and that's why there won't be any sea. I love your First Kiss poem - it is so sweet. I wish you well in Tracie's Contest. Luv, Maureen x
