Things I Have Learned

I learned to embroider.
And it was fine.
Herringbone stitch. 
Tah Dah Tah Dah!

I learned to crochet
Bah Bing. Bah Bing.
Truly thought 
I had found my thing.

I learned to dance.
Hooray! All right!
I stomped and whirled
Into the night!

I learned to paint.
Oh, it was great!
Reds, and oranges, 
Thrown on a plate!

Poetry is new.
Entertains me today.
If it stops
I will not stay….

Rhona Mcferran Date: 7/31/2019 8:50:00 PM Poetry is definitely one of your (many) things! LOVE this!!! ;) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/1/2019 10:02:00 AM It is one of my things RIGHT NOW. When I get bored, I go off cold turkey. I threw writing out the window for about 38 years before. It can happen again. Not today, but maybe in a month or two.

Ilene Bauer Date: 7/31/2019 3:21:00 PM i don't see you stopping, caren. once it gets into your bloodstream, it's kind of hard to remove. write on! (fun poem, by the way) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/1/2019 10:02:00 AM It is Ilene, but I am pretty compulsive, and so obsessive!

Heidi Sands Date: 7/31/2019 10:45:00 AM Keep on writing. You have a gift :) Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/1/2019 10:03:00 AM Thank you Heidi. This website alone has pretty much "fired me up" and kept me writing.

Jeanne Mcgee Date: 7/31/2019 10:03:00 AM Please don't stop! you have a talent with words for sure. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/1/2019 10:03:00 AM Jeanne, thank you. If you saw how quiet I am at work, you would laugh so hard. The words I use are mostly thrown onto a page. For some reason, I am in tune with written much more than spoken words.
