Andrea Dietrich Poet Haibun

Of Rhymes and Reasons

My words are birds hatched from ideas
and nourished by my own opinions, beliefs and memories.
Nature too provides me with inspiration and wings to fly!
I build nests using poetic devices and various poetry forms – often rhymed.

nests of many thoughts
creatively constructed . . .
birdlings I set free

Poet Destroyer A June 5, 2020 at 6:27 PM you are still flawless, Andrea. Stopping by to say hi, and read one of your poems before I head back to reality. Anyways, I'm not making a comeback, before I get all the welcome back comments, like a few weeks ago. However, i will return slowly. By the way, great rhyme and reason... Clever and informative... luv Linda
