Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Watch Out For First Impressions

blonde hair
an immediate impression
for some a happy, marvelous one
others immediately look for prissy, or a snob
Some think she must be a lively dancer

red hair
an immediate impression
for some a wild, crazy, wonton woman
others think she must be a liar, a thief,
some think reliable, dependable, trustworthy 

brunette hair
an immediate impression
For some a disrespectful, mean-spirited wench
others think she must be loving and caring
Some think she’s probably got the best sense of humor

First impressions.
It behooves us to become aware of them.
We immediately have feelings that may in no way
make any sense at all.
Isn’t it time we gave everyone a fresh start
in spite of our first impressions?

Shirley Hawkins August 1, 2021 at 7:33 PM People cannot choose how they look, Looks are deceiving sometimes. Crafty eyes etc are inherited... Caren Krutsinger August 2, 2021 at 3:13 AM They sure are.

L Milton Hankins August 1, 2021 at 2:11 PM You know, I do that, and I should not. I have found that my first impressions are generally wrong. I don't know why. Sometimes I will see someone as a caricature of someone in my mind who is not even a real person! Caren Krutsinger August 2, 2021 at 3:13 AM I often instantly despise someone who becomes a life long forever friend based on that silly first impression.
