Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

My Life

I
trickled
quietly,
a fresh sweet stream,
then gushed with glee through
my youth; meeting my mate,
I joined with him to become
a parent river. Steadily
we flow, sometimes over rocks, rushing
to our finality - the endless sea.

Jan Terry October 10, 2019 at 12:52 PM Congratulations on your winning poem, Andrea. I was considering how to write a life's story in 10 lines and you did it beautifully. I love how your journey will end with something bigger than us all. Perhaps not an ending afterall?

Vijay Pandit September 29, 2019 at 8:25 AM You are being so humble--but the metaphor of river is apt for a life well lived..a quality so worthy!
