Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

We Are Back

Imagination is the key Trixie whispers
Follow your bliss. Be an artist. For you already are.
Be winsome.  Be incredible. Be us.

A purple dragon doctor with shiny glistening silver scales
Lights down on the desk next to my typing fingers.
She is wearing a red cherry colored tam.

Are those bagpipes? I ask, hearing the Scottish melody.
Knowing the butterscotch brownies will taste fabulous

Trixie rolls her eyes. Adding a drum roll, and the dragon disappears.
Today has a glorious sparkle.  There is a feeling of happiness.
“We’re back!” someone whispers.  It must be Trixie.

I feel grateful, satisfied and enthusiastically invincible.

Michelle Faulkner October 30, 2019 at 5:53 PM I knew Trixie was a purple Scottish dragon;) You are both definitely invincible!! Caren Krutsinger October 31, 2019 at 5:48 AM I was thinking maybe we were goners, but then go-to-attitude and sheer WILL came roaring out, burning negatives as fast as we could.

Ilene Bauer October 30, 2019 at 3:06 PM glad to hear it, caren! Caren Krutsinger October 31, 2019 at 5:49 AM And I am ever so glad to punch my way out of physical dullness which has irritated me beyond belief, Ilene.

Gershon Wolf October 30, 2019 at 1:30 PM Seems to me, reading this one, that you and Trixie are back, BETTER THAN EVER! Wonderfully penned, my friend. Warmest wishes, Gershon Caren Krutsinger October 31, 2019 at 5:49 AM I am realizing something I did not know before. Writing heals me. Writing is the key to health for us. Weirdly enough.
