Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

for Nette Onclaud's Six And Seven Poetry Contest  / April 22, 2026

Fog In Those Eyes

Like crystal – that light shines flawlessly through -
were those eyes of yours - beautiful blue.
But now I visit you and see
from behind clouds you peer at me.
Oh, that I could pierce that haze,
restoring the radiance of your pellucid days.
