Andrea Dietrich Poet Curtal Sonnet

In Awe

One day there walked into the little store
which at the age of sixteen I worked at
a gorgeous boy. I must have dropped my jaw!

Like a Prince Charming – someone to adore -
was that wonderful dark-eyed young man that
I saw!

I pinched myself because it seemed unreal
that he saw me (this boy who had no flaw)
and wanted very much with me to chat.

I think of him today and still I feel
in awe!

Michael Tor November 6, 2020 at 5:13 PM Somewhere in time Andrea, you were mesmerized by this young man who captured your heart. What a great novel you should write. Andrea Dietrich November 6, 2020 at 6:02 PM yes, it is nice to have muses like this for inspiring one's writing. If I wrote a novel, I would want it to be Stephen King-like! This year is a good start for that!!

John Watt October 31, 2020 at 10:12 PM Those are the kinds of memories that never go away. The 'I can't believe this is really happening to me' moments in life. Not only to see a dreamboat but that they wish to chat with you. Such a charming write of a very relatable moment in life! Andrea Dietrich November 1, 2020 at 8:01 AM The subject of many a poem of mine was this gorgeous boy from quebec. Some memories can never be erased!
