Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

My Perfect Day

If you were given the chance to have an entire day of being invisible or flying
on your own power, which would you choose?

I would choose flying, because I always feel the need to be as much like
Peter Pan as I possibly can.
Free, child-like, fun-seeking.
Living life on the edge,
With pirates and Indians.
And a faerie.
 
No rules.
No adults.
No pressure to grow up.
 
To cap off my day, and make it
Perfect, I would request that I be
Issued my own fire truck on the
25th hour, and I would become
A fire truck driver, tooting the horn
And waving at children.
 
Then I could leave the earth plane, knowing I had enjoyed my perfect day.

Caren Krutsinger October 26, 2018 at 9:42 AM Invisibility? What on earth would we do with that? I can only think of sad things.

Tom Cunningham October 26, 2018 at 2:54 AM Lovely verse Caren, when we were young oh those dreams we'd have. Such a shame we all have to grow up. Tom. Caren Krutsinger October 26, 2018 at 6:11 AM Tom, I know you have suspected this, so I am going to just admit it. Some of us have not had to grow up.
