Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Looking Out the Window

I’m lying in the sun, looking out the window
Watching some flying things.
A shape hits my view. Was that a flying frog?

The underside looked like a scrawny half-grown chicken.
The next thing I see hurled up into the air
Is half wasp, half faerie, with a huge underbelly.

I sit up straight and pay full attention.
Grab my cellphone and get ready for some 
National Geographic winner of the year pix.

Nothing flies by now except a few regular birds.
All laughing at me, knowing my predicament.
Regular day in the country after too much sun.

Andrea Dietrich July 28, 2019 at 1:35 PM so what the heck was it?? I would run outside and try to see!! Cute one, Caren. Caren Krutsinger July 28, 2019 at 9:16 PM I never figured it out. It was gone too fast! It looked like a chicken that had been plucked but was way too tiny.

Kim Rodrigues July 27, 2019 at 8:16 PM Oh how the imagination flies! Never caught on film. Caren Krutsinger July 28, 2019 at 7:12 AM Never can when trying. It is when I do not have a camera with me at all that I stumble upon the best things.
