Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Idea Sixty Two

Idea sixty-two flew by me on her way to the meadow.
I put my right hand out and she slapped it as she giggled past.
Okay, that’s fine, I told myself. I will get the next one.
I am up to a hundred and sixteen ideas. 
Do not ask me how I know, I think my muse keeps track.
This one put on her rollers and skated over my feet as she left.
I feel like I have a shot at capturing the next one.
My muse laughs.

Paula Goldsmith April 8, 2022 at 11:08 AM You and this write are so very creative. It can be hard to catch them. They run away toooooo fast. Does your muse ever sleep??? Thanks for the laugh. I needed it. Have a great/blessed day.......................... Caren Krutsinger April 8, 2022 at 11:55 AM We do sleep but only five or six hours a night

Gershon Wolf April 7, 2022 at 8:46 PM I guess ideas are like buses in a crowded city. Eventually you'll catch one! (But whatchgonnadowithabus?!) Smiles, Gershon Caren Krutsinger April 8, 2022 at 3:40 AM They are all over the place bouncing around right now.

Debra L Brown April 7, 2022 at 1:41 PM Hi! Caren, this was a fun write. I liked the second line. "She puts her right hand out and she slapped it and giggled." Blessings ~ Debra Caren Krutsinger April 8, 2022 at 3:40 AM Thank you Debra. I like playing with my ideas.

L Milton Hankins April 7, 2022 at 7:18 AM This is a delightful poem, Caren. I can't tell you how many ideas pass me by. Sometimes I just wave and smile! Caren Krutsinger April 7, 2022 at 11:55 AM Me too Hank Me too!

Jeff Kyser April 7, 2022 at 6:55 AM If you keep your phone with you, you can capture them, or, if small enough, trap them on the table beneath the glass... They are resilient, so be careful when lifting it back up, or you will set them free again... Caren Krutsinger April 7, 2022 at 11:56 AM I will be more careful and try to be quicker Jeff *whee*
