Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Music

Music
is a sweet spring shower for romantics.
For the weary, it is a soothing stream
flowing sublimely through one’s soul.
It is a pond or lake, reflecting joy.
For those in search of thrills,
its waves pound frenetically to lighthouse strobe lights
across an ocean’s roar in the night.
Like water, music takes many different forms.
Find your pleasure; let it wash over you!

John Watt September 16, 2020 at 9:29 AM I see you won a gold medal for this! This is a great way to perceive music in its many incarnations throughout our life and our many moods. Water is a great metaphor, because it too has many incarnations and distinct effects upon our soul. A beauty and a fave.

Jennifer Walker May 2, 2018 at 8:23 AM Love this sis. To me your poetry is very much like music and wish to see your words to a song that is popular with everyone up on the top of the music billboards.

Robert Johnson April 30, 2018 at 10:37 PM Love the last line. Music is magic. Especially when just that right chord strikes your heart strings. Beautiful poem Andrea.

Phyllis Babcock April 28, 2018 at 12:11 PM Beautiful poem Andrea. Would like to set my poems to music. My downstairs computer is still out. Not sure if it died or what is wrong but waiting for Kerry to come look at it to decide if we need a new one. Just have the lap top and missing the programs on the computer. love phyl

John Gondolf April 27, 2018 at 4:48 AM Such beautiful thoughts, Andrea, this is a winner in my book. John

Matthew Anish April 26, 2018 at 12:58 PM Sounds like "follow your bliss" as Joseph Campbell used to say. My father set 8 of my poems to music and one of my nephews set one of my poems to rock and roll. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Caren Krutsinger April 24, 2018 at 8:32 PM It was so soft and sweet and slow and easy, and then you jazzed it up fast with "for those in search of thrills." I liked how it ran fast after that.

FJ Thomas April 24, 2018 at 6:19 PM It is all those things. Beautiful Andie!

Agnes Krampe April 24, 2018 at 5:44 PM I enjoyed your depiction of music, Andrea -music is so much! Good luck in the contest.

Carolyn Devonshire April 24, 2018 at 1:40 PM I love the way you describe music as a liquid that flows "through one's soul." Never thought of it this way, but it is an excellent analogy. Wishing you success in Vermillion's contest! (Yes, the seahorse poem is based on a true event.) Hugs, Carolyn
