Andrea Dietrich Poet Rondeau

The Drama Twins - Unmasked -Collaboration With Susan Burch

I'll bring a tear to every eye,
and I can make a grown man cry.
To grip you is my specialty,
for once you are caught up in me,
strong feelings will intensify.
 
I'll make you ponder things like why
a nice guy has to cheat or lie.
I mirror sad humanity.
I'll bring a tear.
 
It's by man's flaws and sometimes by
the hand of fate that he must die.
To see man face mortality,
you'll empathize; I'm tragedy!
Have tissues ready.  Dry your eye.
I'll bring a tear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m full of fun for everyone.
Watch me now and you’ll come undone.
Test me with a humor trial - 
If you frown, you’re in denial! 
I’m a funny son-of-a-gun!

I’m full of silly, zany puns.
I’ll make you forget life’s problems.
With my antics I’ll beguile;
I’m full of fun!

For I’m Drama’s beloved son.
I’m Comedy, second to none.
Full of tricks to make you smile;
Entertaining for a while.
Don’t go yet. My gags aren’t done;
I’m full of fun!

Daver Austin January 10, 2012 at 5:03 PM I'm reading your Poesies. Super ideas. Maupassant would love these, but be envious. Hope I spelled Maupassant right - sure I didn't, but am too lazy to look him up. Love, daver

Daver Austin January 10, 2012 at 2:23 PM "Oh, don't go quietly into that darkest night, rage, rage against ......." something like that. Very good entry, you two. Luck and love, daver

Robert Johnson January 10, 2012 at 1:52 PM The twins have become one. With their sorrow and their fun. And when their masks were taken off. It's amazing what they've done.

Russell Sivey January 10, 2012 at 1:37 PM My tear is not for dreading your work...it's just for Tragedy's part in all...for the purpose of your poem!
