Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

I bet you will like this one

I do not like anything symmetrical
it is the artist in me
I wanted color for the kitchen
my husband leans toward black and white
he likes round things, and hearts, things that are even on both sides

I think symmetrical things are nonimaginative and boring
The minute I saw the multi-colored tile I knew that was going into my kitchen.
My husband had been saying “I like this, I like this I like this”
his choices were bland, tan, gray, vanilla, colorless.

I heard him say “I bet you will like this one.”
When I turned and saw it, he knew.
This colorful tile backdrop is now in our kitchen.
It has perked the entire house up.
I had to get a new canister set, and new dishes.
They bring me joy also, so it was worth it.
