Andrea Dietrich Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

this was silly me in Junior school daydreaming all the time about some cute guy who couldn't care less about me. Thankfully things picked up in high school but mostly from older guys who I met outside of high school as I working at a convenience store. haha

__________________________________________________________________________

Oh Dreamy Boy

His eyes, like cornflowers, are pretty blue.
From where I sit in back of class, I gaze
at his soft lips – two petals sweet with dew.
I think that I could stare at him for days, 
imagining at least a hundred ways
to make him finally aware of me!
Oh, dreamy boy, please take the time to see
the girl whose heart begins to palpitate
when you look back at her – though randomly!
You’re keeping me too long in this dream state.

Ann Peck February 26, 2022 at 5:03 PM I remember the crush I had in 7th grade He was so cute and friendly, but going steady. Needless to say, we were friends only. Thanks for reminding me of a nice friendship :)

Caren Krutsinger February 25, 2022 at 8:12 PM This opened up so many memories I had long forgotten, so I thank you Andrea!

Paul Callus February 16, 2022 at 12:11 PM Dreams and crushes which often came to naught, especially when shyness kept them at bay. Your poem is lovely and still retains the freshness of when it first occurred, Andrea. ~ Regards // paul

Bj Legros Kelley February 16, 2022 at 10:56 AM This is so sweet. My memory flew backwards to the seventh grade. There was a shy boy in my class, and I was a very shy girl who was captivated by him. He noticed me, and shyly smiled. No words, but he gave me a necklace, for Valentine's Day, and a smile. I gave him a sack of homemade sugar cookies, and a smile. That was the culmination of our romantic classroom interlude, we never spoke :) his eyes were the color of cornflowers, a pretty blue, similar to the boy in your story :)

Delice Arleen Skelly February 16, 2022 at 3:12 AM Andrea, nice look back at fond memories, charming write...Delice

Kim Rodrigues February 15, 2022 at 4:25 AM I was in 4th grade and liked this one 6th grader but was too shy to say so then he’s telling me how a differently boy liked me. No girl wants to be overlooked by the guy with dreamy eyes ;) I enjoyed your dizain. Congratulations on your win!

Paulette Calasibetta February 14, 2022 at 5:32 PM Andrea, congratulations on your placement in the contest. Your poem, a tribute to all school girl dreams ~ Happy Valentine's Day, :)Paulette

Anitha Jayasankar February 14, 2022 at 10:19 AM Aw this is so sweet and innocent a write, dear Ria... Your words never fail to make me smile... As Jenny said below, even I was imagining you as a cute school girl... so dreamy... I too was a daydreamer dear... Best wishes and hugs... ~ Ani

Bill Baker February 13, 2022 at 9:48 PM Missed many of the lessons I was meant to learn while participating in this type of behavior in Jr High and High School. We all just want to be notice for who we are, and long to express the feeling of romance and even passion we feel when we're alone. Good entry, Andrea. We may be kindred souls? :-) Bill Andrea Dietrich February 13, 2022 at 10:46 PM you never know, Bill. I bet there are a lot of us daydreamers out there. I kind of stopped doing it after I married. The older you get, the less you daydream (in my opinion).

Bj Legros Kelley February 13, 2022 at 5:13 PM So adorable! <3

Unseeking Seeker February 11, 2022 at 12:50 AM This is simply too amazing a write, Andrea! I’m marking it as a fave, for the sheer excellence and innocence of teenage romance!

Michael Tor February 10, 2022 at 1:01 PM This took me back to the crushes I had for girls over the years, lovely piece Andrea

John Watt February 10, 2022 at 9:26 AM You have tapped into a universal sensation (at least among teenagers), that of unrequited infatuation. How hard it was to not be noticed by the one we find so attractive! Lovely dizain, my friend, with your usual flawless flow and rhyme.

Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2022 at 8:19 AM Such a good looking fine lady you are now imagine you as a little girl with pigtails oh so cute How could he not notice you but little boys take longer to grow up than little girls breaking our hearts in the meantime - cute poem! Hugs and blessings Jennifer

Joseph P. DiMino February 9, 2022 at 3:38 PM Very cute! Dreamy write! Oh those years of longing from afar -- only to date, and then the illusions are closer to old socks:) As always, you are poetry excellence! Joe.

Connie Marcum Wong February 9, 2022 at 1:18 PM This is so cute Andrea, how young teen age girls have romantic day dreams about the boys of their affections. Music usually plays a large part of the daydreaming too. I know I will be going through this with my granddaughter when she turns into a teenager. Right now she’s only going to be 10 in two weeks. I enjoyed this. Blessings xxoo

Ilene Bauer February 9, 2022 at 12:36 PM wonderful! i can certainly relate to this one remembering my own school crushes, andrea! best of luck in the contest...

CayCay Godwin February 9, 2022 at 11:39 AM This is a personal sharing that many can relate to. I know the feeling. I once got excited to just stare at 'his' house, wondering if he were home. I think at that age the daydreams were in there own way - exciting. I was in love (oh, gosh, I can't remember his name, I've always remembered it - Peter?? - the lead singer for Hermans Hermits - Peter Noon sounds right) anyway, what girl cannot 'step' into your poem and not understand the feeling! Check your soupmail and you'll find me there. Andrea Dietrich February 9, 2022 at 1:18 PM yeah, I had at least five crushes and the main one in jr. high, I still remember his name, Dan Olsen, and how I would go past his house wondering if he was in there. I'd make a good stalker, haha.

Rico Leffanta February 9, 2022 at 11:02 AM Well done, indeed, Andrea! So sad they did not teach pheromones at your school, but there is nothing "silly" about being human! Aloha!

Tom Cunningham February 9, 2022 at 8:31 AM Oh those happy memories of puppy love, we never forget them Andrea. Tom

Neva Romaine February 9, 2022 at 7:32 AM Dear Andrea, this is wonderful. I am amazed with this poetic form and how very talented you are. It brings back memories for me too. As I wrote in my poem - you are a Poet True. I believe this will place highly in the contest. Hugs and blessings, Neva

JC Brul February 9, 2022 at 7:18 AM So beautiful! Reminds me of first crush - those unguarded sweet moments that never fade. A fav for me.

Vijay Pandit February 9, 2022 at 4:33 AM Lovely write, Andrea. Sweet memories stay with us.

Harry Horsman February 8, 2022 at 10:33 PM Oh this is so good, Poem after poem, it seems for ever, from you Andrea. Your imagination, and drawing on real life event, you colour with words that have so much meaning so much life, and those words so many of us relate to....
