Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Have Optimistic Ideas

I will win this race I think forgetting that my body does not run.
I will dance my jeans off I believe forgetting I have a torn meniscus.
I will do a double triple quadruple skate move at the Olympics I brag.
My ankles groan, they are filled with arthritis now.

I will climb that mountain so high!
My lungs laugh, reminding me of our asthma
I will win all the marathons in the continental USA
Unless this frumpy dumpy flesh body holds me back.

L Milton Hankins March 28, 2022 at 9:05 PM (smiling) Oh, Caren, how I can relate to this poem. Many times, when the barometric pressure is falling, my hips and knee hurts so badly I can hardly stand it. Today has been such a day. But, I can still type. And, I can still think positive thoughts. The brain is in good shape!!!! (smiling more) Yours is, too! Caren Krutsinger March 29, 2022 at 8:42 AM I try to always be optimistic knowing how important it is
