Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Response To Potpourri

Dear man, you are a distant star.

I wish your eyes on me would shine.

Come close to me; a firefly be,

So I might hold you in my palm!

Kp Nunez January 19, 2016 at 8:00 AM A sweet write, andie... Made me smile. Thanks! About the title, I think you need to use the word Poutpourri (take note of the POUT). You have to change the title asap...hugs!
