Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

Tantalizing Love

Tantalizing love, how long I’ve known you.
How often I’ve succumbed to you, but
how often I’ve resisted too -
while wanting you so badly.
I’ll never tire of you,
nor do I want to,
for you’ve been a 
part of my
greatest
times.
I 
have had
to learn to
control myself
when you are around.
I’m not the only one
who loves you more than I should.
You are so good when you are bad!
Oh, to breathe your scent and hold you to
my lips! Delicious food, I adore you.

WRitten 9/19/14 for the Double reverse Etheree contest 
of Shadow Hamilton

Reason A. Poteet October 3, 2014 at 9:50 PM romantic, somewhat sensual - only to find out it's animal, vegetable and/or mineral instead of "male". Congrats on first place, a bait and switch of perfection.

Maurice Yvonne September 24, 2014 at 12:18 PM By the way I did well too. I got an HM. You know that is where you didn't really win anything but unlike the people who were not mentioned everybody knows you struck out. I came very close though to placing I was just slightly squeezed out by another poem written by pen name "The Illiterate Poet" Andrea Dietrich September 24, 2014 at 3:22 PM what a great description for HM. It is kinda bad when you think about it. The ones who did terrible in the contest, nobody will ever know! I think a nicer way to say it is "not good enough in the judge's opinion." I have seen SO many judges whose HM's were MY personal favorites in the whole contest . It just makes you realize how very subjective this art called poetry can be!

Maurice Yvonne September 24, 2014 at 12:11 PM People always wonder what my real name is. Having read this perfectly crafted talent infused Etheree I think it is time I reveal my name. First name Delicious and yes you guessed it last name Food. You should meet my younger brother the bachelor. His first name is Frozen, which works out well since the Microwave is the only stove he has ever used.CONGRATULATIONS on your massive second place win. Andrea Dietrich September 24, 2014 at 3:20 PM you don't want to be delicious food because I'd gobble you right up and you would disappear from our midst. hahaha

Brenda Meier-Hans September 24, 2014 at 10:10 AM Congratulations Andrea on your win with this delicious poem.

John Lawless September 24, 2014 at 9:18 AM Very tasty entry on the theme menu.

Robin Davis September 24, 2014 at 7:40 AM Andrea A humorous and fun write because almost everyone has a love addiction to some sort of food. Thank you for the sweet comment on my One Little Kiss poem.

Jan Allison September 24, 2014 at 4:55 AM dropping back with my congrats Andrea:-) hugs jan xx
