Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Friendly New Neighbors

Oh, you are new in the neighborhood!
I will have a party for you! Sheila said.
A Tupperware party. She was the dealer.
Okay, um…..I guess I would have to buy something.
There were only two of us.
Her and me. 

We were next invited to their home for a barbeque.
A great way to meet the neighbors! She told me.
There were no more neighbors.
When she and her husband began strong-arming us to buy a time share
I think we guessed why.

Shirley Hawkins September 6, 2021 at 5:54 PM I hope they don't live next door to you.. Caren Krutsinger September 7, 2021 at 3:00 AM No one does Shirley, we bought a six acre piece of land. Our nearest neighbors are a river, a marsh, a pond, and a lady whom I used to love speaking to who now has forgotten who I am. I do not call her any more because it "confuses" her sadly.
