Caren Krutsinger Poet Monorhyme

I arrive hours too early

For this day I shout an enormous hooray
I am meeting my friends to laugh and play
They are seventy-eight and seventy-seven today
As welcoming as most angels in heaven I'd say

I burned twenty-two boxes in my driveway
hot sooty gray and orange ashes were flying my way
I am wearing a green t-shirt with daisies gay
At ten-thirty I have accomplished a lot today!

This was a planned outing; but I did it my way
I got there two hours early; what can I say?
I never could read a clock with numbers gray
I am horrible at numbers, I hate math, okay?

Darlene De Beaulieu June 27, 2026 at 3:32 PM Hello Caren, Two hours early. What did you do for two hours? I am not good at mass either. Hugs. /Darlene/ Darlene De Beaulieu June 28, 2026 at 4:06 PM Hello Caren, O, you are an early person. You get to where you go to places early, to wait for others that get there on time. I am not a morning person. although I do get up early for my cat. Hugs. /Darlene/ Caren Krutsinger June 28, 2026 at 12:47 PM I go everywhere early - some of my best poems are written in my car as I wait for others to arrive on time Darlene
