Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

My Love's

My love’s a dusky grape hid on the vine.
I find his sweet bouquet in desire’s wine.
My love’s an envied rose plucked tenderly.
I cling to him, for I’m his honeybee.

My love’s a road that winds behind green hills.
I’m led to new delights. . .his secret rills.
My love’s a letter penned with passion’s gust.
I read his eyes and see the soul I trust.

Gary Radice August 20, 2026 at 12:11 AM Your words drip with passion from the page Andrea. I was intrigued by the word “rills” - I guess Brits might call rills brooks (maybe - maybe not) but anything referring to flowing water fits perfectly here :) Cheers - Gary Andrea Dietrich August 20, 2026 at 2:01 AM Thanks and yes, rills are like brooks
