Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

A Tricky Situation

A combined family.
A tricky situation.
One I have managed to avoid and gladly

I have no idea how they do it.
Each thinking the other one’s children
are spoiled.

Keeping their mouths shut
or worse, taking over too soon.
A tricky situation.
One I have gladly avoided
