Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Colors Are Everywhere

I am a cartoonist, a painter, a clandescent poet.
I paint in neons – pinks, greens, yellows and blues.
The background is sometimes done up in purple before I know it.
I start with the skin color, making it a variety of hues.
Beige might work for others, but I use coppers, silvers and pink.
I throw in some oranges every time I do think.
For I am an artist, a painter, a poet.
Colors are everything, don’t you know it?

Ann Gilmour July 14, 2020 at 5:52 AM I love all vibrant colours and I especially love your fabulous picture Caren. A world without colour is so dismal, so grey, your poems oooooze colour, that is what makes them so special. With kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger July 16, 2020 at 5:20 AM Thank you Ann. I adore color; I have six colors of paint on my hands as I type this today. Orange, green, blue, silver, purple, and yellow.

Caren Krutsinger July 16, 2020 at 5:20 AM I tell you I would not be alive it was not for painting, cartooning and poetry; they are keeping me sane right now as I shelter in place.
