Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Seeing From the Roof

From the roof I find things 
I missed when I was on the ground
I missed when I was up in a tree
I missed from my recliner

My perspective is different up here
I feel more flexible, more all-knowing, more open
I feel like an owl or an eagle
Wise and wonderful.

Gershon Wolf May 11, 2022 at 11:26 AM Good for you. I feel more like a chimney ... Enough said right there. Caren Krutsinger May 11, 2022 at 7:47 PM I would not touch that one!

L Milton Hankins May 9, 2022 at 10:42 AM Knowing you, you'd probably prefer to stay on the roof then, but your neighbors would think you crazy, I suspect.
