Caren Krutsinger Poet List

Things I Refused To Do Today

Things I refuse to do today:
Paint
Oops! I already did that.
Write.
Um….well, I am just jotting stuff down, not real writing.
Right?

Laundry.
Check.
Sweep the kitchen.
Check.
Run the vacuum cleaner. Check.


Hey! I have stuck to my guns
and not done a lot of things!
Get on a plane.
Check.
Tame a dragon.
Oops!
Scribble. Scribble.
