Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

When I Return I Shall

When I return
I will live in Central America.

When I come back,
My skin will produce a deadly poison.

When I reincarnate,
Arrow-poison frogs will fear me.

Forest people will die
If they look at me to tip their arrows.

This is my tree dream. Being mighty
Being mean. Not being me at all.

Sandra Adams September 20, 2019 at 10:59 PM it's ok to not be ourselves at times, we can dream about being whatever we want when we come back...you would be most powerful for sure my friend...this one made me ponder thoughts of my own... i don't know what i would want to be if i came back... hugs Caren Krutsinger September 21, 2019 at 11:10 PM I have had lots of ideas about how fierce I would want to be - a bear, a lion, a mosquito.
