Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

If I Could Be Anything

If I could be anything, I would be an enzyme.
Grown in dandelions as they are plentiful, and free,
And unappreciated now by some.
Maybe also I could be in clover.
A healing enzyme.

My catalytic action would be simply this.
I would retrain cancer cells to swallow,
Digest and eliminate themselves.
On a regular basis, daily, almost before
They got started.

So cancer would be eliminated by one drop
Of dandelion tea. That would be all that would
Be needed, and it might also be all one could
Stomach.

If I was an enzyme.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 5, 2018 at 11:29 AM A very thoughtful poem, Caren ... written w/your irresistibly wry humor. I really enjoyed reading this uplifting poem today.

I always appreciate hearing from you my friend. Happy holiday early!

M. L. Kiser December 5, 2018 at 10:20 AM I've used dandelion tea for years and I love fresh dandelion leaves in my salads. I'm always amazed at the number of people who don't know they can be eaten and made into tea. Wonderful. Caren Krutsinger December 5, 2018 at 12:34 PM I love the idea, as I am an advocate of dandelions in every form.
