Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Brillance of a Child

There is no more brilliance than a child
Who brings wonder and intuition into a meadow
Chasing the faeries we thought were butterflies
Ingenuity on speed dial.

I watch her carefully, soaking in her flair.
Loving her creativity as she builds a fort
Out of sticks, moss, twigs, and a cardinal’s feather.
Genius takes on a whole new meaning

She is resourceful and clever, she has a knack for greatness.
I remember being her once upon a time.
She is the king of the unicorns now.
I smile at her intuitive intelligence and her inspired genius.

She is five.

Valsa George August 5, 2022 at 3:01 AM Children are bundles of joy and creativity ! Their brain works in a straightforward way and they are moved by curiosity and there is always a sense of wonder in them. Beautiful observation Caren ! Caren Krutsinger August 5, 2022 at 3:18 PM I adore them and cannot imagine a day without one around.

L Milton Hankins August 4, 2022 at 7:36 PM Oh, yes. Would that we could keep a bit of the five-year-old in us until with are 87! Caren Krutsinger August 5, 2022 at 3:18 PM I know you can and so do I.

Gershon Wolf August 4, 2022 at 7:19 PM Five -- and alive!! There is a saying in another language: 'With all the bright-eyed children, where do the dull-eyed adults come from?' I'm with you in wonder at the imagination of children. :) gw Caren Krutsinger August 5, 2022 at 3:18 PM We have that inner child Gershon, our poetry is proof!
