Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

NO, that is not ME with him. It's that dang Aphrodite without her nightie.

Love Letter Ii

Love Letter to Adonis

My dear Adonis, you who even charmed
the goddess Aphrodite and the Queen
Persephone, it’s I you’ve now disarmed!
One look into your eyes, I did not mean
to fall in love with you so hopelessly!
I understand two thirds the year you are
required to split between Persephone
and Aprhodite. Oh, she is a star!
But neither of those two could love you more
than I! This mortal woman’s love is true!
My beautiful Adonis, I implore
you, give me just a little time with you!
I want you so! Please, my beloved, bring
your love to me when you’re reborn in spring!

Richard Evans April 8, 2018 at 1:10 PM The structure of a sonnet is well suited for the topic of love. Nice poem.

CayCay Godwin April 8, 2018 at 2:53 AM I'm typing from half way across the room where I am dividing photos and no I don't have ADD (that would be Tim) and No I'm Not comfortable! I loved your dramatic delivery so I had to talk and I'm too stubborn to get the photo albums out from under the chair wheels. This is impressive. (poem) I went a different way, would love for you to read it, I was hoping you'd stumble on it and get kick out of it. A kick would be more comfortable than my arms are now! Loved this and you ... CayCay

Vijay Pandit April 5, 2018 at 7:19 AM With such urging love letter, spring will bring cherubic love..well done Andrea!

Caren Krutsinger April 5, 2018 at 3:43 AM I was thinking how amazingly epic-like this poetry is, and how much I should read mythology, because I have forgotten so much after reading this beautifully-penned poem by a master poetress when I looked up, saw the photo and then looked further up, and saw your HEADLINE for the photo and now I cannot stop laughing. You are amazing, so is this gorgeous poem, and the photo. But the poet notes. Oh, my! Andrea, I so needed to see that headline. Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my!

Tom Cunningham April 5, 2018 at 2:41 AM Greek mythology is a fascinating subject and I think you have done this really well, look forward to his response. Good luck. Tom.

Frederic Parker April 4, 2018 at 9:26 PM Well, you said you were going to write a letter to Adonis, and gosh darn you did just that...nicely done and good luck

Kim Rodrigues April 4, 2018 at 8:40 PM Lovely and dreamy, dear Andrea!

Matthew Anish April 4, 2018 at 8:04 PM Mythology is so fascinating and you bring it to life in your poem. Hopefully humanity will learn tolerance one of these days. I went to 3 seders this year.One public one - one at my sisters - and one in my building. Loads of good food! The Last Supper was a seder as I am sure you know. Peace &Love Matthew Anish
