Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

Notes About The Poem

What happened here is so funny. Because I left out one little arrow in my centering symbols, the entire poem failed to post, so people only were seeing an empty box this morning!!!

The One That Got Away

With eyes so deep and dark, I could get lost
soul-sinking into them; with a mouth
tasting of berries, and with hands
that held magic in their touch,
he was the one that got
away. . . if only
I knew what would
have happened
had he
stayed.

Aditi Mishra July 7, 2020 at 3:21 PM The mystery of never knowing what could have been seems a little comforting than getting to know it. Nice write Andrea. Congratulations on your win! Much love :)
