Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

A Stranger No More

A stranger
Odd
Sad
Quirky
Unwelcome
Ignored
Once extended a courtesy
Cannot do enough
For her new friend
Stranger no more
Odd means unique
Sad is empathetic
Quirky translates to self-assured.
Unwelcome is ignored.
Best friends are born!

Rhona Mcferran September 15, 2018 at 1:19 AM Yes, I learned that the hard way, too... Caren Krutsinger September 13, 2018 at 7:13 AM I love having friends. I used to try to befriend everyone, however, I have learned when to give up and save myself now.

Michelle Faulkner September 12, 2018 at 3:33 PM Love how you see the negative qualities as positives once you get to know the person - the last two lines, amazing! Caren Krutsinger September 12, 2018 at 6:22 PM Thank you Michelle. I just gobble up my feelings and spit them onto the paper.
