Notes About The Poem

A hydrozoan is a water animal with a saclike body consisting of two layers of cells and a mouth that opens directly into the body cavity.

Just Floating

In my next life I plan to be a hydrozoan.
Living in the water, floating aimlessly.
No thoughts, no feelings. 
No muse bugging me with new poetry ideas.
No muse annoying me unmercifully 
Screaming in my dreams, 
Begging me to get up at 3:21 a.m. to write poems!
Just floating away,
A happy little hydrozoan,
Carefree and silent.
No dreams.
Just floating…..

Connie Marcum Wong August 1, 2019 at 3:38 AM Many poets are tortured souls Caren. The mind often will not shut off and keeps us awake at all hours. We just can't sleep until we grab that pen and pad and write out what our muse is nagging us to write down. I can certainly relate my friend. I loved this poem. xxoo Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:49 AM Thank you Connie. I was in a real lazy mood when I wrote this.

Rhona Mcferran July 31, 2019 at 8:40 PM That sounds lovely... but methinks I'll be a water bear! ;D Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:50 AM A water bear - that is my grandson's favorite animal!

Kurt Ravidas July 31, 2019 at 2:30 PM Sweet protozoans, that's about me! Alas, it's impossible. If you're a human, it's hard, damn hard to become an animal again. Not to mention a hydrozoan. But if you somehow succeed, you have to live minimum 500 lives in an animal's body before you'll have a chance to become human again. It's easier to become a god, I think) Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:51 AM I think I could do it; I am pretty in tune with animals, being one myself, just posing part-time as a human.

Heidi Sands July 31, 2019 at 10:44 AM Interesting and creative Caren :) Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:52 AM Thank you Heidi. I meant it too.

Jeanne Mcgee July 31, 2019 at 10:02 AM Caren, what a delight this is! lol Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:52 AM Thank you Jeanne. It was so much fun to think about.....

Kim Rodrigues July 31, 2019 at 8:34 AM Oh man-o-wow! Love the imagery! Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:52 AM Thank you Kim. I knew this would appeal to you.

Line Gauthier July 31, 2019 at 5:25 AM You wouldn't last long - you'd be bored. LOL Caren Krutsinger August 1, 2019 at 9:53 AM Okay, if I had a brain, but Line, I don not think I would have one. That would SAVE me.
