Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Elvis Has Left the Building

Elvis has left the building.
The paparazzi run toward the alley.
There is no limo, only an old beat up van.
There is no peeking inside.
The windows are black.
Wait! Says one.
Elvis has been gone for over forty years.
He has been sighted numerous times, another argues.
He disappeared to have a life, throws in a third.
Elvis crouches down under the bottom bunk.
Holding his breath until they are gone.

L Milton Hankins September 22, 2021 at 10:17 AM This is such a good poem, Caren. I thoroughly enjoyed it. When I was in Mississippi this year, I visited his birthplace. They have made quite a "tourist trap" out of it. Sad! Caren Krutsinger September 22, 2021 at 10:11 PM It is awful! I have also seen it.

Brian Strand September 22, 2021 at 1:11 AM Ah the one & only Caren Caren Krutsinger September 22, 2021 at 10:12 PM Thank you Brian. Trixie and I are so pleased at this comment. She is twirling her flaming batons and batting her eyes.
