Andrea Dietrich

Andrea
what can one say about her
except wonderful
imagination with love
and fine appreciation
of detail inspires me


Premium Member Sedoka 10

Death Valley -
on a sickly branch
an eagle is perched

hoping against hope
for America to change it's way,
but oh how it is!

The Sun

the sun 
strikes a nesting  gull
just another dawn
to a human marking
the breath of the tides
yet never forgets the gull

Lights Fading

Quietly sauntering 
through faded lights
 on an alley,

past transgressions mirror 
to beg for unresolved penance.

Red Rose

Waiting for someone
a red rose on my table
It may be for me
Or anyone else
start of the new love story
of innocent heart


Troubled Family

Father in prison,
kids without discipline;
more fights, alcohol and weed...
mother gone with tough boyfriend:
troubled family.

Lip Service

most poets
neither am nor want to be
just stuck
halfway to an imagined hell
of homage to self
and lip service to the creator

Realistic Answers

I'm done with the strides
and the delusional dreams 
of a wasted lifetime. 
I open a new chapter...
seeking realistic answers.

Premium Member Royalty of My Garden

purple petunia
she is fragile and dainty
I marvel at her beauty
amazing color
she is fluorescent looking
royalty of my garden

Premium Member A Dream On My Mind

A dream so real
A feeling of being there
While asleep in my bed

In a wooded area
With a narrow winding road
Leading me to a river

Lost Eyes

lost eyes
of native girls enslaved
by traffickers
beaten and forced into sex
and I grew up complaining
of harvesting beans and corn

Veil

wispy dawn rising
ethereal flute of light
lances the vaporous shroud

spiderweb glistens
an intricately woven
and intangible beauty

Proud Father

Simple as it sounds
days with all of you around
are wonderfully profound.
Proud Father I am
with a loving family
that I can claim as my own

Premium Member Lavender Lilacs

lavender lilacs
fragrance envelops her truth
carried freely in the air
her unknown power
so pleasing mother summer
inspiring my garden

Premium Member Embrace Warmth

She's a nice warm bath
Fold yourself into her suds
Relax joyfully

He's a nice warm bed
Wrap yourself in his embrace
Enjoy a deep sigh

Premium Member July 4th (Sedoka)

Finally the day 
Relaxing in my lawn chair 
Barbeque grill smoking; 
Smells oh so good! 
Volleyball over the net 
Family fireworks—Wow!

Premium Member About A Boy

My dream was real
A little boy stared at  me
I do not know who he was

Perhaps he knows me
I do not know who he is
Its a mystery to me
boy

Premium Member Redamancy

I didn't know what
the existent desire is
until I met you today

Your hope scarry me
though we exhilarating  
nil bad will happen to us

Night In Your Eyes

Dark nights in your eyes
Twist hair to the flaming breaths
Oh! I can't stop kissing you.

ECSTASY

to awake
and then to dwell,
pillowed on your breasts,
there to pause awhile..
draped in tenderness..
muffled in love's caress!

Premium Member Be Careful With Yourself

laughing during lunch
happily poking some fun
at self as I can take it
until I cannot
the others go way too far
and I have myself to blame

Premium Member Lost and Found

Gunfire wounded
temple time passes by
fleeing dominance, anger,
lovers linger lost
freedom glorified, homage;
saffron incense calls prayer.

Premium Member Purple Droplets of Rain

The soft sound of rain
Exquisite purple droplets
The jacaranda tree weeps
Wet purple kisses
 A welcome shower of love
Royal messengers of Spring

Too Much Stuff

Drifting empty cups
Scattered socks form tumbleweeds
Delirium in stuff

Plow past the chaos
Green fields wait patiently
Simplify til sanity

Premium Member Meeting My Birth Mother

birth mother is here
we only met that one time
excitement pours out of me

she is hesitant
I envelop her in arms
grateful for my happy life
