Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Sit and Wait

I sit and wait
The words come prancing along
Smirking and smiling
Two of them are dancing a tango.
One laughs
Another jumps on my heart.
I love this quiet time
As I sit and wait
and a poem begins writing herself.

Ilene Bauer September 24, 2021 at 1:12 PM “Another jumps on my heart” has to be the best line I’ve ever read about words and the writing of a poem… Caren Krutsinger September 24, 2021 at 10:57 PM Thank you Ilene. I appreciate you.

L Milton Hankins September 24, 2021 at 8:49 AM This is such a lovely little verse, Caren. I love the way words "come prancing along Smirking and smiling." Sometimes my words come with their arms extended for a hug...and generally they are crying. Caren Krutsinger September 24, 2021 at 10:45 AM I laughed when I read your comment Hank.
