To Andrea Dietrich From Andrew Crisci

To the happy lady behind those black shades, I dedicate my poem as an exchange gift for her incredible kindness and gracious wit... even her words amaze the youngest lads! Since her work was featured on Poetry Soup years ago, I've become her admirer, and avidly read every poem she writes with the passion and aspiration of a true poetess who immensely delights; and doesn't she always capture the reader's attention with her unselfish ego? Many are the dreams she has...as we all do for another laud, and from her insightful thoughts written with refined style; who wouldn't be her loyal fan and often drop her a line? Read all of her poems and feel what makes her proud! Sweet and lovely friend, accept my dedication and add this name to the memoirs of your ambition; sincere and kind friend, isn't honor the greatest joy when someone such as me praises you as Helen of Troy?

wowowow!! Andrew,this is so lovely!! I have to tell you that when I first came to this site at the very end of 2009, I went to see the winners of poetrysoup's big contest. Yours I recall was one that I saw first, and I was very taken with that poem. I was proud to share the feminine version of your name and I remember reading more of your poems and commenting to you, hoping to hear back! now here you are writing this for ME. In two years so much can happen! Thanks, my friend Andrew! Luv, Andrea
