Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

My Artist Side

A unicorn, dragon, or appaloosa? I stare at the blank sheet.
Should it be running, walking, or rearing? Will she be riding it?
How outrageous can the hat be? I begin drawing tentacles.
The unicorn-dragon-appaloosa is a giant spider.  He is riding it.
He looks effeminate too; I never draw men that look male. 
I give him a frontal shelf, and earrings; turning him into a she.
It is the least I can do. The spider turns and stares at me.
Eyes? A hat? A tuxedo? I let my imagination figure it out.
One less thing for me to worry about.

L Milton Hankins July 7, 2021 at 11:40 AM I need one of your drawings or paintings!!! Do you ship to Kentucky??? Caren Krutsinger July 8, 2021 at 6:32 AM I actually keep them all to myself. I have over 500 of them. I sold a bunch of them once upon a time, and I was heartsick that they were "gone" now.
