Caren Krutsinger Poet Monorhyme

My Fabulous Antique Dresser

I have a fabulous dresser, an antique
made out of gorgeous wood of teak
It is totally Victorian, and yet somehow sleek
Found a long time ago at a home beside a creek

Its interior drawers are shabby, quite bleak.
Yet the outside has an incredibly well-built physique.
She is pretty when refurbished, totally chic.
Her clothes drawers sometimes have an ominous squeak.

She once had a small gray inhabitant who gave out a shriek.
His mousey noises were to us humans little understood Greek.
Once in a while I still hear a ghostlike tiny small eek.
You can ask my cousin about it too. His name is Zeke.

Karen Croft January 27, 2022 at 1:57 AM I found this quite humorous with the mouse! I built a walnut dresser in 12th grade i can say i've been lucky enough not to hear any greek! Caren Krutsinger January 27, 2022 at 6:44 AM I am glad for you. You built your own walnut dresser! Wow! I would love to see a photo of it.

L Milton Hankins January 25, 2022 at 5:19 PM Love it. I find it very hard to sustain a rhyme through three stanzas, but you have done it admirably. Good stuff. Caren Krutsinger January 26, 2022 at 12:54 AM I had all of the end rhyme words written down. I created this during a lunch where I allowed the new student to invite three girls that she "wanted to know better". While I wrote they laughed and shrieked and squealed. It was great!
