Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Superb Fashion Designer

I need just a touch of blue the young designer said.
In her hair?
No
On her lips?
No.
Contacts?
The designer looked exasperated - on her forehead. Paint it.
We thought this was strange but we did it, to please her.
This magazine cover won all kinds of awards.
A fluke of youth?
No. This was forty years ago, and she is still winning awards
For her fabulous innovative magazine covers.

L Milton Hankins February 4, 2022 at 9:16 AM Interesting. I'd like to know the background to this story. Have you designed magazine covers? You certainly could, you know, and the pay is probably pretty good. Caren Krutsinger February 4, 2022 at 8:44 PM I have not but I have to tell you there was a glorious magazine cover that inspired this one! I cannot post it here because I do not have the rights to it.
