Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

A Fraction of My Sense of Humor

A fraction of my sense of humor 
retains and loves full blown sarcasm mode.
I have to watch it at work.
I deal with children.
They are experts at it.
At home my husband catches my barbs in his glove
Winging them past outfield to hit the fence
So we can remain in love.

L Milton Hankins February 5, 2022 at 11:38 AM This is a marvelous, insightful poem, Caren. Very serious, frankly. I loved how Joe catches your "barbs" and wings "them past outfield to hit the fence." A home run! Caren Krutsinger February 6, 2022 at 4:06 PM He knows just what to do.
