Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

My Fun Custom Temporary Tattoo

Heart singing,

I race through warm sand;

then fling myself to the breeze!

I take the leap from land to water,

riding roller coaster crests.

Soon my skin will wear 

summer’s ink.

Judy Konos June 6, 2015 at 9:09 PM Well Andrea, I had to go to page 2 in the comments to find a place to write and what I wanted to write is "I loved it"

Robert Johnson May 21, 2015 at 8:46 PM Just don't get too brown, cuz when you're old, you'll frown. And all that dried up wrinkly skin will not go up, but down. Moisturize. :) Andrea Dietrich May 22, 2015 at 9:21 AM not to worry, my friend. for the past ten years I have been more careful, going out after 3 p.m and if not with lotion, i put it on my face at least!
