Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

As Free As the Long Grasses

I am lighter than the wind
floating on top of a current
My heart is light
I feel free and fanciful

I envy no animal or plant today
Passing ripe raspberries, I grin
Glad they are they
And I am me

The breeze takes me past a field of flowers
It is a gorgeous mixture of renegade florals
there is no jealousy or regret n my heart
I feel free to be me

I am as free as the long grasses
As excited as the wild strawberries
As determined as this warm current of air
To take myself to nirvana by way of the wind

Shirley Hawkins November 26, 2021 at 7:58 PM Long grass does blow freely in the wind. I imagined you floating in a flowing dress like a breeze and watching the deights below you moving gently along with you. Caren Krutsinger November 27, 2021 at 7:29 PM I love a flowing dress; I am such a hippie!

Maurice Rigoler November 22, 2021 at 1:14 PM Love this breezy lyrical, Caren, especially the title "As Free as the Long Grasses"! I also detect a Walt Whitman influence. Bravo! BTW, what do you drink before starting to write? / Maurice Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2021 at 1:21 PM I drink two cups of coffee with three sugar packets and a packet of hot cocoa and a dab of chocolate milk every morning. I cannot drink liquor, it makes me throw up.

Kim Rodrigues November 21, 2021 at 4:40 PM Never thought of comparing myself to the wind, ripe raspberries, wild strawberries and long grasses. Lovely, my dear Caren! Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2021 at 1:21 PM Thank you my dear Kim
