Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

She Is the Canvas

Red tattoos on her fingers,
Spider tattoos on her toes
Pink tattoos on her forehead
Roach tattoos on her nose

Cat tattoos on her arms,
Dog tattoos on her legs
Lady bug tattoos on her flower tattoos
Two tattoos of ham and green eggs. 

Does she think they are pretty?
What about when she is old?
They tell my tales; some are witty.
My story will now be told.

Dracula tattoos on her eyelids in black, 
Frankenstein tattoos on her back
Orange tattoos drawn by her brother Mack.
She loves being the canvas as a matter of fact.

Gershon Wolf October 16, 2021 at 9:14 PM She sounds like she should be renamed: 'Can V. Ass.' lol. Thanks for the chuckles. You really 'tattooed' this one, Caren. ~ Tattoo of Fantasy Island Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2021 at 3:57 AM Thank you kindly

L Milton Hankins October 16, 2021 at 8:44 PM Oh my! Occasionally I run into a person who has tattoos all over their (visible) body, and I wonder what will happen when their skin starts to sag and droop. Deb never would get a tattoo for that very reason. I don't have any either. L Milton Hankins October 17, 2021 at 10:17 AM Deb really wanted a starfish because she loved the starfish story. She wanted it on her ankle, but she never got it. That's a story. She said she would get a tattoo if I would have an ear pierced. Well, I got the ear pierced, but she reneged on the tattoo. I still wear an earring in my left ear. I kept one of her earrings and wear it...a peridot. It is such a part of me that no one even mentions it anymore. I'll tell you the story of the starfish sometime. Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2021 at 3:57 AM I always wanted one but now I don't. It would have been a tiny green dragon wearing a red tam.

Karen Jones October 16, 2021 at 3:44 PM Cute poem. I guess they do not care about the changes when they get old. lol Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2021 at 3:57 AM They sure do not realize it yet.
