Andrea Dietrich Poet Rondeau

Rapt Yet Sad

I’m rapt, yet sad those times I see
that boy who means the world to me.
When he walks in, I cannot take
my eyes off him, nor can I break
the spell he weaves so seamlessly!

How can I ever be set free
from eyes as azure as the sea?
I’m dreaming, yet I dream awake
                                           I’m rapt, yet sad.

With him I’d know felicity.
However, it is lunacy
to think that I could ever make
him mine! My heart will ever ache,
for he’s with HER, so it can't be!
                                            I'm rapt, yet sad.

Funom Makama July 4, 2017 at 8:39 AM Oh my goodness! This is why I always miss your work when I stay away from this site for a while. Your choice of words and perfect blend of a cute message is beyond description. This is definitely good..

James Inman July 3, 2017 at 10:36 AM This speaks deeply to me Andrea. Beautifully written.

Connie Marcum Wong July 2, 2017 at 5:03 PM That boy must have really had an affect on you Andrea. If I used affect correctly? I have a problem with effect and affect like many do. A wonderful creative Rondeau for the contest Andrea. : ) Andrea Dietrich July 2, 2017 at 11:03 PM this happened a number of times in my youth! Luckily I got to meet men also who liked me back!

Joseph May June 30, 2017 at 8:07 PM Torn between two emotions...Very nicely penned Andrea

Chris Green June 30, 2017 at 6:04 PM This was really nice Andrea. Your poem had a lively feel even though sadness was woven throughout. Best wishes in the contest.

Frederic Parker June 30, 2017 at 2:05 PM Nice poem Andrea, I've read a couple of your poems in different forms with a similar theme and have notice you seem to be in the role as the young woman with wishes and dreams from afar...good luck this should place well..oh and me my theme seems to be used and left in total abandonment

Afzal Nusker June 30, 2017 at 11:03 AM I enjoy the most when poets pour their hearts out and I get to read them. Fine Rondeau, Andrea.
