Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Ice Is Tossing Cars Willy Nilly

The ice swirled around in a dangerous way
Tossing cars willy nilly into each other and concrete bridges
I marveled at her confidence and power
Hoping I was not going to slide into the two wrecked cars in front of me
She gave me a tiny spin, showing me that I had no control at all.
She grinned at me in her icy blackness
It was the last thing I saw.

Gershon Wolf November 6, 2019 at 4:53 PM Allegorical as well as Metaphorical --- not to mention lethal! ~ Frozen solid Caren Krutsinger November 6, 2019 at 7:13 PM Ice is such a horrible surprise when you least expect it.

Panagiota Romios November 5, 2019 at 4:26 PM You brought back to me the terrors of driving in Chicago winter, blizzards and on ice, Great poem and good luck, Panagiota Caren Krutsinger November 5, 2019 at 5:51 PM I know you remember that well now.

Rhona Mcferran November 4, 2019 at 11:08 PM Ooooh, I thought for a second she was going to let you off easy.... and then that last line!! *chills* Another terrific "headline" title! (And FAV!) Rhona Mcferran November 4, 2019 at 11:51 PM I thought that had a "Trixie-twist" to it! ;) Caren Krutsinger November 4, 2019 at 11:45 PM I have to say I had no idea it was going to end like that. Trixie is up to her "old tricks" of dashing in and taking my poem away at the last minute.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 4, 2019 at 5:57 PM Hello Caren Krutsinger, winter driving is dangerous especially in the freezing rain when the roads are icy. Sidewalks are dangerous also to walk on. Have a nice evening my friend. Caren Krutsinger November 4, 2019 at 10:52 PM Thank you so much. I have to admit winter driving is not easy, and ice is ever so tricky.
