Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

This is free verse but also it has rhyming, so I was not sure how to label it. 

For the Contest of  Anoucheka Gangabissoon/ I Dived Into a Cauldron of Magic Potion

__________________________________________________________________________

The Cauldron of Magic Potion

The cauldron of magic potion
I dived into one time.
It bubbled with such effervescence
that I could not resist.
It drew me into the potion
 – as do the waves
of the sparkling ocean.
With its most delicious taste
my lips were kissed,
for the potion is passion-sweet,
but you will discover
if you dive into it too,
romance you imbibe will be fleeting.
For love to be complete,
you must find the other cauldron
whose magic is a love that is true!

Duke Beaufort February 16, 2025 at 4:49 PM Andrea, great story really. Finding the right solution is never as simple as a one-shot deal. A lot of wisdom here. The first cauldron might be a real trip though!! LOL Smiles!!

Terrell Martin February 9, 2025 at 7:21 AM "It drew me into the potion – as do the waves of the sparkling ocean." That line sucked me in like an inescapable black hole in space. Noone other than you could pull that rabbit out of the hat, Andrea. Kudos Kiddo

Ink Empress February 7, 2025 at 1:16 AM Theres a hint of wisdom in your ending too sweet andrea and i love the imagery and flow of your well woven lines in this, especially love “ It drew me into the potion – as do the waves of the sparkling ocean.” brilliant and so ethereal! Pleasure reading your magical verse today! Best wishes for the contest

Victor Buhagiar February 6, 2025 at 10:23 PM The potion will give you thrills, yet you need a stronger one. Not easy to find. Hugs.

CayCay Godwin February 6, 2025 at 10:00 PM I agree - not able to label. I like the mix of free verse and rhyme (I know I mix the two from time to time and click fv), It was nice to enjoy your creativity again. For this contest, I have nothing, absolutely nada. When I first read the contest title, I feared October was already here ... CayCay
