Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Shall Give You Bits of Myself

I could tell you my faults
but what would be the fun of that?
So, shall I tell you of my accomplishments?
What if there aren’t any?

What if there are but there are so many
you would believe I was lying? 
Would that be bragging?
What if you wanted to get to know me yourself?
Could I wait patiently for you to get the gist of me?

I think I shall give you bits of myself 
Tiny bites at a time 
until you know my saltiness 
And you recognize my sugar 

My sugar comes in many forms
One form is genuine
The other form is faux
If you truly know me you will be able to discern them.

Shirley Hawkins October 2, 2021 at 8:55 PM I really liked this verse. I think we all do this until we die, as we age and change and hopefully gain more wisdom and common sense... Caren Krutsinger October 3, 2021 at 4:12 AM HOPEFULLY being the operative word.

Sotto Poet October 1, 2021 at 4:42 PM Caren, you truly are an inspiration! To give a little of yourself at a time appeals to me; I feel we all do this in some way. Caren Krutsinger October 2, 2021 at 2:45 PM I think we surely do.Thank you Lasaad.I appreciate your appreciation.

L Milton Hankins October 1, 2021 at 2:57 PM Great write, Caren. Anyone who regularly reads your poems has a pretty good idea who Caren is. And, I might add, it's a fine portrait! Caren Krutsinger October 2, 2021 at 2:46 PM Thank you my friend!

Ilene Bauer October 1, 2021 at 1:46 PM Wonderful, Caren! I love the idea of giving bits of yourself at a time - I guess we all do that to some extent… Caren Krutsinger October 2, 2021 at 2:46 PM Sometimes I throw the whole ME out there, scaring them greatly.

Chris Conn October 1, 2021 at 12:11 PM Shortcake on a paperplate. Caren Krutsinger October 2, 2021 at 2:46 PM I like that Chris.
