Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

I have about twenty other poets I wanted to add to this poem. You know who you are. I would list your names but then there would be one or two poets who would feel badly they were left out, so I will not. The problem is - I was  limited to 22 lines. I wanted to add more but I was LIMITED, so I want you to know I love you all, and  appreciate your support and wish I could have added all of you.  There simply was no room. If you had a short name you were more likely to make the cut. Which reminds me. I might be able to sneak in one more name if it is SHORT enough.

Congratulations, this is a keeper - actually it will be kept by many, I'm sure, and that's a good thing. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Caren Krutsinger March 24, 2019 at 6:00 AM I had to keep adding names, until it was too many lines, and I had to start WHITTLING it down. That was tough!

Jan Allison March 10, 2019 at 1:46 PM For many reasons I'd have to pass on this convention - I'm going to the one in Canada instead lol:-) hugs Jan xx Caren Krutsinger March 10, 2019 at 8:53 PM I understand Jan. I can only go in the summer; I wish everyone would "get this".

Rhona Mcferran March 9, 2019 at 10:02 PM Hahaha! What a blast!! Love how you worked in so many people (and personalities) into this piece! Great fun! ;) Caren Krutsinger March 9, 2019 at 11:07 PM Thank you my Soul Sister. I had to really smash in some; shorter names were much easier, for thanks for not being named Yowanda!

Richard D Seal March 9, 2019 at 6:35 PM Hi, I was just reading some poems from the new list and thought how few views there was. On Stonehenge, hardly be room, that’s the day the weirdos all turn up, on the other hand, we should fit in well lol. Take care, Richard Caren Krutsinger March 9, 2019 at 8:54 PM I am one of the Weirdos apparently, because I really want that particular day, Summer Solstice. I refuse to change it; it is my dream to see it on that day. Thank you for the stop by Richard.
