Caren Krutsinger Poet Acrostic

The Last Laugh

Darlene De Beaulieu July 29, 2018 at 5:57 PM Hello Caren, this was a lucky guy. To find out how she really was. Have a nice evening my friend. Caren Krutsinger July 29, 2018 at 7:38 PM Thank you, Darlene. The true colors always come roaring to the surface.
