Caren Krutsinger Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Oh So Tender

In the glow of firelight oh so tender
I watched him realize with surprise
That he liked the green of my eyes
Witnessed only by faint light of ember

The person he asked about me
Had a slim sense of humor
A great grandma with tumor
And was filled with jealousy

My then boyfriend whispered about it all night
None of it my fault
Rubbing wound with salt
I decided to take my final swift flight

Our meeting at an innocent bonfire
So romantic and real
Gave both of us a great feel
My new husband and I, now inspire!

Connie Marcum Wong September 19, 2018 at 9:01 PM The enchantment of love speaks to the romantic heart of every poet Caren. Lovely! : ) Caren Krutsinger September 20, 2018 at 12:01 AM Thank you Connie. I do not do "love" poems often, but this idea hit me, and my muse is so efficient and goes ahead of me often into places I think we cannot go.

Rhona Mcferran September 19, 2018 at 4:13 AM Lovely poem. I especially LOVE that part, "I watched him realize with surprise/ That he liked the green of my eyes", because it reminds me of the 'dawning' look my husband had when he realized I was "the one"! Even after all these years- every once in a while, he still looks at me with that certain sense of wonder- and it's priceless!! Caren Krutsinger September 19, 2018 at 6:54 AM So you do know the look. I knew this already, but I wanted to remind you.

Michelle Faulkner September 18, 2018 at 11:10 PM This is quite the intriguing story, I like the surprise of the rhymes! Caren Krutsinger September 18, 2018 at 11:52 PM I was in a real sing-songy mood this week, Michelle.
