Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Wish I Was a Fluffy Cloud

I wish I was a fluffy cloud, 
Puffy, white, glittering, glorious, majestic, perfectly safe, appreciated, loved.
A fluffy, white cumulous, floating around without a concern in the world,
Floating past meadows, forests, mountains, floating over oceans, smelling the salt.
I would not have a care in the world, because I would be of the world.
I would float around silently, in peace, oblivious to the mean things that happen in houses,
Carefree, joyful, exuberant, respected, well-loved, admired, painted and photographed.
Children could lie on blankets, and marvel at my pretty lightness, my slow, methodical movements.
Teenagers could shut their eyes under my watch, knowing there is goodness somewhere.
Grandparents could look up and smile at me as they play outside games with their grandchildren.
It would be such a terrific ending to a great life.   I wish I was a fluffy cloud.

M. L. Kiser October 1, 2018 at 6:08 AM It really would be wonderful; why not request that in the next incarnation? Well done. Caren Krutsinger October 1, 2018 at 7:02 AM This was my request, I am glad you recognized it as such M.L.

Rhona Mcferran September 9, 2018 at 4:38 PM Amazing write, Caren... another FAV poem. And to think just a few days ago, you thought you were running out of poetry?! You sure made a strong comeback! And Nina, although I don't know you, yet- thank you for this lovely idea... Caren Krutsinger September 10, 2018 at 8:25 PM Nina sent me 10 ideas for poems. I have used 9 of them already. She had noted I was running out, so she ran forward. Good friend!
