Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Am Reading People Today

I am reading people today.
Their faces, their smiles, their twinkles and flashes.
Their energy in the form of art, and poetry.
I am reading everyone I can get my eyes on.

I am reading poems, and stories.
I am reading their lives, and their loves.
I am relishing their heartfelt journeys.
I am vicariously living in imaginations not my own.

I am reading people today.
On the street, at work, in my house.
They all want to be read, cherishing my time.
I am spending my time on the Internet, making friends

All around the world, on poetry sites,
Through texts and emails. Through face time.
I am reading people today.
Their faces, their smiles, their twinkles and their flashes.

M. L. Kiser February 4, 2019 at 7:38 AM Had to "fav"; I like this idea: "I am vicariously living in imaginations not my own." Caren Krutsinger February 4, 2019 at 10:09 AM I truly do feel like this sometimes; there are so many inside...

Kim Rodrigues February 4, 2019 at 5:31 AM Yes, and we are reading you too...wink wink! Caren Krutsinger February 4, 2019 at 7:15 AM Thank you Kim. I appreciate it my friend!

Steve Gezora February 4, 2019 at 1:45 AM Well, I don’t usually say much directly but I did like this poem. I must say I do read people a lot, so what you write makes sense in many ways. Poetry is an art. I always like to make mine a little enigmatic since I usually write from my subconscious mind :) Caren Krutsinger February 4, 2019 at 5:22 AM Steve, what a glorious comment. I am playing a drum for you and Trixie my muse is doing cartwheels. That is a thank you.

Andrea Dietrich February 3, 2019 at 4:43 PM this is really beautiful, Caren. it's what so many of us like to do nowadays . One of the few things I love about "new world and technology" Caren Krutsinger February 3, 2019 at 8:12 PM I am so into the internet it is RIDICULOUS, but I have friends all over the world now. I found you didn't I?
