Caren Krutsinger Poet Imagism

Glad To Be Alive Today

Whispers of pink, glide into view, on airwaves of a magical sunset
Glimpses of orange, which uplifts my spirit, gives me an angel peek
Of a glorious end to the day’s fantastic beginning; trees darken softly
I breathe a sigh of release; there is a tiny white violet at my feet.
I dare not move my sandal, for fear of crushing this feeling of awe
Cotton clouds spread across in a frothy stream aid the sun into bed.
God's pretty sky makes me glad to be alive today.

Allen Beilschmidt Sr. April 15, 2019 at 11:12 PM A most uplifting poem dear Caren Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2019 at 3:09 PM Thank you Allen. I am always surprised when words people use in the comment line turn blue and are double underlined. How do you accomplish that?

Rhona Mcferran April 15, 2019 at 10:53 PM "I dare not move my sandal, for fear of crushing this feeling of awe"... perfectly captures the still, breathless wonder of that 'perfect moment'! Lovely!! ;) Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2019 at 3:09 PM Thank you. I am taking a bow now.
