Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Life As I Now Know It

Life as I now know it 
is formulated, maintained, and sung,
changed up and changed down
by tiny scribbles on pieces of napkins,
or grocery store receipts.

Words that rhyme, inspire, aspire, and take me
into myself, and back out again, twirling me greatly,
or sending me to the outer planet of my mind

not only rule my life,
but have become my life
as I now know it.

Caren Krutsinger April 23, 2019 at 5:00 PM It is hilarious that I gave writing up for about thirty-five years. I am making up for lost time.

Arturo Michael April 23, 2019 at 5:23 AM I can by the amount of poem you write...it is your life...would be lonely with out it... Caren Krutsinger April 23, 2019 at 5:01 PM It would indeed be different, but Arturo, I am a compulsive obsessive. I will paint for five years, poetry for five years, dance or sing for five years....Now I am laughing. I cannot even clap on rhythm.
