Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

When I Grow Up I Will Be

When I grow up I will be 
A forest with every kind of tree.
Part of a dark brilliant woods
I will do all the gets, leave out the should’s.

People will revere me for my age.
My rings will show my wisdom sage.
Of course I’m in no hurry to be cut down.
Unless it’s done by a lumberjack clown.

A lumberjack clown I’d like to be
If I cannot be a forest with every kind of tree.

Jennifer Proxenos December 9, 2019 at 11:26 AM This is clever poetry Caren - there is ad. comes onto TV often, a man planted a tree a day, don't know what for, I think it is a banking ad, but imagine handing this request down from generation to generation, how many more trees would enthrall us in our lives! Well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Caren Krutsinger December 9, 2019 at 11:54 AM Thank you Jennifer. I love trees, and they love me.

Kurt Ravidas December 9, 2019 at 11:20 AM Deep, Caren, deep. I remember the story of Odysseus' posthumous journey. The God of death asked him what he would like to be in his next life. Odysseus's answer was pretty similar to yours) I did enjoy. Caren Krutsinger December 9, 2019 at 11:55 AM I would be so happy!
