Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

He Stuck His Tongue Out At Me

"He stuck his tongue out at me.
He made the symbol of a gun.
He pretended to shoot me.
This is NOT OKAY!”

This is being yelled to my back.
As I try to unhook this child from a fence,
So, I can lead seventeen children into the school.
I want to stick out my tongue at her, and she is a teacher.

L Milton Hankins October 18, 2022 at 8:33 AM Please tell me she did not yell all of this in front of the children! Oh dear!

Though most of these children have been subject to bad parenting, some just need to be left hooked to the fences Caren Krutsinger October 18, 2022 at 10:28 PM I love thinking about hooking three of them to a fence.
