Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Poetry and Me

My sweetest memories flow from my pen -
romance living on from remembering when.
Dreams I'm still living and dreams I've seen flee -
These are a part of poetry and me.

I sing praising God through words that I write
of earth and sky and my spirit's delight
in all lovely things I feel, hear and see.
These are a part of poetry and me.

Tall tales I invent, yet some events true
captured in verse are of things I lived through -
some being anecdotes of family.
These are a part of poetry and me.

Hundreds and hundreds of themes I explore -
mostly in rhymed forms; sometimes with humor.
And if it strikes me, I write in verse free!
These are a part of poetry and me.

Silent One February 28, 2019 at 4:33 AM Ive never seen a poem from you praising God???? Lol... A great poem to highlight a great poet who has been on PS, since eternity :). Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Andrea Dietrich February 28, 2019 at 8:36 AM I have so many nature poems, Silent One, and of course if I praise nature, I am praising the creator of nature! Thanks for the win.

Bette Bavington February 23, 2019 at 6:17 PM I think it's wonderful that you live life and want to share it with us. You take things from life and write about them in such a way that makes me want to do a double take at my own. Good poem. I enjoyed it.

Lindsay Laurie February 23, 2019 at 4:52 PM Hello Andrea … if the poetry bug lives within, then everything you touch, see, hear and think about is poetry and it must live on through the pen - thank you Andrea for your fine verse - Lindsay
