Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

Is She the One?

(Inspired by the brilliant new avant garde
 Italian film: "I Am Love")

Could she shatter vows, and is she the one
who’d relinquish everything just for love?
If it meant that all she knew would come undone,
could she shatter vows, and is she the one?
If she knew that those she cared about might shun
her, could she go against her God above?
Could she shatter vows, and is she the one
who’d relinquish everything just for love?


For the Contest: Is She the One?

Lynette Chachere July 5, 2010 at 11:00 PM vows are just words on paper, ive noticed this when i look around me. great thoughts too, i like it! ~Always&Forever Lynette

David Byrne July 4, 2010 at 8:05 PM interesting idea!

Grace Eunsong Lee July 4, 2010 at 4:49 PM hehe I'm back to reply on your interpretation of my poem :) Okay so in the first stanza the girl as the baby and the couple looking at her are her parents, and then from then on all the 'she's throughout the rest of the poem mean her. So it was basically an attempt to depict the whole life of that one girl through the eyes of others, especially her husband that is first introduced as the boy with the black-and-white photo. But of course, I might just decide it's all about souls. :) -Grace

Charles Henderson July 4, 2010 at 12:16 PM This is very good Andrea. I hope it does well in the contest. Don't think I'll be going after this one myself. I'm not much of a love poem writer..................Charles

Diiamond Rich July 4, 2010 at 11:17 AM Loved this piece here.. I'm new so have mercy and I hope you have an open mind my styles pretty different. Enjoy ya day

Daver Austin July 4, 2010 at 10:48 AM Andrea. Saginaw is the last outpost of - I won't call it civilization - nothington. I fit in perfectly here....remain anonymous. Again, YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FOURTH! Love, Dave

Daver Austin July 4, 2010 at 10:24 AM What? You consider Saginaw a small town? Actually it is now classified as a village. After the automobile industry sunk low, Saginaw went from 100,000 to under 60,000. For me, this is just about the right size. You have a good Fourth, ya hear. Love, Dave

Katherine Stella July 4, 2010 at 10:21 AM looks like a winner to me my friend hope to see it in top 5 hate these sad ones but eyes glued to them like a thriller keep that pen flowing happy 4 hun hugs and thanks for blog comment

Adeleke Adeite July 4, 2010 at 10:14 AM This is heartrending… a precise, simple entry for Tavarus’ contest. Have you read my poem, “She is everything I need to know” and recently I wrote “marred marriages” the later was dedicated to all those who stayed strong after being brokenhearted but the former was dedicated to you all. Love your creative style mom Andrea! I love you mom, Adeleke

Carolyn Devonshire July 4, 2010 at 8:43 AM This form is new to me, but the poem is great, Andrea! There are lots of people who just cast aside their vows to follow through on infatuation's lure. Happy Fourth! Love, Carolyn

Grace Eunsong Lee July 4, 2010 at 6:39 AM Interesting way to go with the theme...I like it! :) -Grace

Daver Austin July 4, 2010 at 5:48 AM I didn't see the picture, but I love the poem. Even at my ancient age, if this vow-shatterer came along I might?.....have a heart attack. Have a good July 4th. Love, Dave

Sara Kendrick July 4, 2010 at 3:53 AM Interesting thoughts that you have penned..I wonder if anyone ever thinks about if the person will be faithful before they get married because they are caught up in the love and infatuation of the moment..Good luck in the contest...Seems like a winning write..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara

Wilma Neels July 4, 2010 at 2:04 AM Love it Andrea, intriguing indeed.. Best wishes for the contest and happy 4th of July, love Wilma

C.C Bloomsfield July 4, 2010 at 1:50 AM Great poem,I have to watch that film,sounds awesome.Your words give much to ponder about.When one is in love,one can go against family wishes,his own faith,and what he believed all his life. .Re against God, deep down when there is love,its never against God.When someone really loves another,he goes against all odds.Sounds like a dilhema between heart and soul.I enjoyed and i' m adding this gem tmfvs. (re my poem,yes I have to find a way and time to adjust verses dear,tnks so much)C
