Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

She Walked To School Headless

She rolled her head down the hill
It picked up speed and lots of dirt and stuff
It began spitting out bugs and dust

Hey! Didn’t you need that for a math test?
Mrs. Peabody, a truly nosey neighbor asked her.
The head stuck out its tongue
And it laughed.

Some people blathered about
Trying to insist she put her head back on.
She walked to school headless
Loving the wind in her neck.

Jeff Connelly December 12, 2019 at 9:23 PM A happy find this is tonight Caren. I love it. Like theatre of the absurd, or what they call an art picture, meaning movie. My mind thinks in images. I see what people say or write. Being a lover of photography and movies, I can clearly see this one, and it brings on a smile. Caren Krutsinger December 12, 2019 at 9:55 PM Thank you Jeff. I had so much fun writing this one! Jeff Connelly December 12, 2019 at 9:26 PM There is a Thai movie titled "Headless Family" lol. Thanks Caren.
