A star is born
A Young Man auditioned for a Theatrical show
He thought it might not be an accepted go
He remembered the advice his Grandfather would say
“Go out and do your best, and let your confidence shine through.
Before you know it, your expectations will pay off”
The Theatrical show was a Drama, the Director was looking for a Star Role in being the lead of “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”
It was a play about knowing who a person is and finding their place in life
Seems fitting as the Young Man’s life falls into the category
On with the story
The Young Man was nervous yet confident
He had no idea in how the Director will respond to his audition
The Young Man had no theatrical experience
Only encouragement being his Grandfather’s influence
He read the script with Drama, Emotion and the Director felt his feeling
Later, the Director asked the Young Man did he act before, and he replied No that he was a natural
The Director then stated, Congratulations
You got the Lead Role
Thanks to the encouragement over the years from his Grandfather
Words from the wise
Those steps you did
Leads you to something better
Extraordinaire.
Unlike the dim of dusk
Twilight dawn is most alluring
Most sunsets of dusk
Oh dear can not compare
I awoke each morning at dawn
Just to spy the repetition I have known
It is in my heart with much
Satisfaction indeed i must declare
It aspires to majestic divinity
By flare sunrise escapes its
Horizon majestic magical
Extraordinaire. Feathered fair
Weathered friends lullabies fly.
The sun has risen!
Has risen!
Lioness goddess extraordinaire.
Parades around when war in in the air.
Sekhmet is her name.
Healing is her game.
We’ll call her spirit forth if you dare.
Haiku moves poets'
derrieres...Eden's Garden...
growth...extraordinaire
Simone Biles
International superstar
Most worthy of a world-wide
Ovation
Never to be topped for
Excellence in accomplishment
Because she’s a gymnast par excellence
Incredibly talented
Long may she receive
Every recognition
She so richly deserves

Caren Krutsinger is a poetess exceptional, extraordinare
She pulls lots of her poems in a teacher’s lounge from thin air
Her characters are richly drawn and funny as can be
When reading Caren’s poems, I am often brought to my knee
Take "MacMillen Ditches McMiggle," an excellent, prime sample
Penned with fun, and a Caren flair, makes for the perfect example
Made me read it twice, then say, "By golly, think of that!"
Then, there was Zeus, and Aphrodite, and "Half and Half Cat."
Caren's mind never shuts down, a plethora of incredible wit,
You surely must read "I Told Her I Was Sorry, I Could Not Do It!"
Intriguing poems about her familiar cats never fail
"Astronaut Cat John" and "Mystical Cat in Gray Scale."
My favorites are verses that have an unexpected twist
Like "He Sounded Handsome Charming Even," you get my gist
Caren always starts my day off with tickles and lots of grins
And, I am delighted to count her among my best Poetry Soup friends.

The epitome of a razzle-dazzle, sizzler twister woman is Ms. Phasing.
Other teachers watch her live her truth which is amazing.
She hears a tune that no one else is aware of, and she hears it well.
Prancing of her heart brings us joy and persuasion, both easy to sell.
The students all clamor to become part of her eccentric, electric class.
Even the ones with math phobia are excited with her upbeat-ful sass.
Always joyful, on a mission, rescuing dogs or saving a student or two.
If you have requests, I will swiftly introduce Mrs. Ph’s energy to you.
A lifelong learner, she knows every creature from Galapagos Island.
Marine iguana, penguin, tortoise, blue-footed booby all gently smile’n
She has run with the bulls, bungee jumped, skydived over the Amazon.
If you bore her in any way she will swiftly and quickly be gone.
Lover of all things green, two-legged, four legged and eight legged too.
If Ms. Phasing has glitter, paint, miscellaneous objects and glue.
Her students adore her, there is never a boring or dull day in her room.
Her class wait list is amazing, even now, when we all meet on Zoom.
the year of the Corona Shutdown & "Police Knee on his Neck"
saw the death of beloved pastor & teacher
who suffered a stroke at 75, before teaching the lesson -
e did get to teach, after the stroke (MIRACLE, aleluia):
"THE Christian God does not say: Come as U are ...
Or that "I, God, have unconditional love for all!" -
Not a popular messages, but biblical
I say by inference, Derek Chauvin is NOT a son of God,
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-Israel!
David Pawson challenged us all
To find any verses in the Bible saying:
"Come as you are ... I accept all with unconditional love"
No a Covenant God has requirements ... to walk humbly, love mercy
(Read Isaiah and Micah, among others, or even John 3:16, "repent")
LOVE EXTRAORDINAIRE
The truth lay bear in bed with a secret lie
Painted colors of a paradise on broken hinges
Reach for me upon soaring height of your riddled Faith
Scream for me when your voice falls victim to lust of silence
Find me again from the tunnel of forlorn hearts
And when the leaves echo the arrival of winter
Deep into your shimmering dreams as you strode in blackness
Eyes light up gross darkness, illuminated glare
More luscious than crimson lips
Hypnotic sights imprison every outer reflection
Pierced into me like arrow of eyes
Cupid pierced me with a spear
Am infallibly falling for you
Its got nothing to do with gravity
Lost in another world looking for her shelter
Seduction spoils not any sect or sex
But of you, even in my unconsciousness, I will select
Because your eyes hold Keys to every mind's search.

Aye happy to be called big Billy's sidekick
Clearing up the mess ,if Billy failed to do the trick
Always calm and controlled,never showy
He quietly contributed to Celtic's glory
Short in stature,big of heart
He surely played a Lion's part
Never one for the starring role
Keeping the defence safe his guiding goal
Clearly the best supporting act
With Billy that was his pact
We are talking of the great John Clark
Who helped create the pride of Celtic Park
Dear Joyce, you've reached a milestone attained by very few!
I reJoyce at this accomplishment and offer my congrats to you!
Joining the elite Centenarian Fraternity is indeed very rare;
I hope you enjoy many more years of writing is my ardent prayer!
Your poetry flows from your talented quill like honey from a jar!
You've set high standards for others and raised high the poetic bar.
Your encouragement and support for me I shall ever treasure;
Reading your inspirational verse has given me many hours of pleasure.
When your work on earth is o'er, God will reward you with a crown,
Saying, "Welcome Joyce, you served Me and My people with great renown!"

The sweetest sight you'll see anywhere
Is a sweetie with silken legs and long shapely hair
Wait... that's a bit mixed
My age is playing tricks
Left me ferschimmeled, now getting home care
Trickster Extraordinaire
Eulen und Meerkatzen
Till Eulenspiegel
Medieval Clown
Fooled them all.
Mirrored people’s vanity
Physiognomonic
Judge of humanity
Wasn’t hard at all.

The sweetest sight you'll see almost anywhere
Is a sweetie with silken legs and long shapely hair
Wait... that's a bit mixed
My age is playing tricks
Left me ferschimmeled, now getting home care
