Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Cracking the Mirror Each Time

keeps butting her head against the same mirror
it cracks and breaks finally
so she finds another one as close to it as possible

Same scenario, 
Same scripts
Same arguments.

This mirror leaves too
Why do all the mirrors leave me? She asks.
The cat has no answers. Just glad to get all the attention now.

Darlene De Beaulieu May 14, 2020 at 1:50 PM Hello Caren Krutsinger, It could be that she does not like what she sees in the mirror. So she cracks it. Enjoy your day my friend. Caren Krutsinger May 15, 2020 at 5:42 AM It truly might be. I believe you are right.

Bette Bavington May 11, 2020 at 10:56 AM Good one. It reminds me of doing the same things over and over with no better results is insanity. I have to change my way of thinking. I hope all is well with you and yours. Caren Krutsinger May 12, 2020 at 4:46 PM Thank you Bette

Anil Deo May 3, 2020 at 12:04 PM Gershon, I hope the broom will be okay too! Caren Krutsinger May 12, 2020 at 4:46 PM I am sure it would be.

Anil Deo May 3, 2020 at 12:02 PM "glad to get all the attention now," is a lovely twist & surprise. I adore that it may be read at so many levels/lives! shalom Caren Krutsinger May 4, 2020 at 6:09 AM I have to admit I come closer to a cat and dog's perspective sometimes than I do my own perspective. *whee*
