Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

My Poetry Soup Avatar Is Me

I say this with excitement.  The star in my avatar is me,
Wearing a black hoodie that makes me happy.
It has white tigers on the front at breast level.
Cut off in the photo, but these tigers gave me my sassy attitude.

My hazel eyes are smiling, because I feel fierce,
Wearing white tigers on your breasts will do that to you.
Anyway, it will do it to me. My eyes are dancing in this photo.
I look cute; yes, and I am not bragging. Fact not exaggeration.

I am younger, and my hair is okay for a change. 
This was the only photo we could find that had the pixels required.
All of the other photos of me had too many pixels to upload.
I am me, and that is enough; my avatar is me.

M. L. Kiser January 21, 2019 at 8:18 AM Ah, the "bare bones"; at least you're not pretending to be someone else in the photo. Cute poem. Caren Krutsinger January 21, 2019 at 1:21 PM No, it is me, but with more teeth. And not as much sassy red hair dye, and no arthritis. Uh-oh. I see a pattern here.....

Line Gauthier January 20, 2019 at 6:48 PM Awesome. A delightfully witty poem. Just like you, Caren. Caren Krutsinger January 20, 2019 at 7:26 PM Thank you Line. I am grinning big.

Leon Datu January 20, 2019 at 3:46 PM You sure look swell like your poetry! Caren Krutsinger January 20, 2019 at 7:27 PM Thank you Leon. Not bad for 59, which is probably when that was taken. I am seven years older now, so I might look worse. Hard to tell when it is you.
