crawling sensation

    is there a little premeditation ~ to scratch an irritation 

    or a bit of an itch ~ to tackle a rash without hesitation 

    said a flea to a hive ~ it’s only my lousy interpretation

Sally Eslinger Date: 8/17/2024 9:03:00 AM LOL, David…And, on top of the actual physical reality of what this poem presents, i found it a super metaphor for the other life problems life anticipating that the roof will soon need replacing, or i sense i need to have “The Tallk” with my pre -teen, or I feel a lump in my old dog’s belly, OR a dangerous missle is launched oversea… Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 8/17/2024 10:19:00 AM Heya Sally I always love to hear when a reader sees a little deeper into my posts, yes there does seem to be an itch or nagging sensation about life in general at times, cheers David

Sam Kauffman Date: 8/15/2024 10:45:00 AM Why is it the "itch" is always in the middle of one's back and you can't find the back scratcher? I like the set up of the poem - the contrasts and the little bit of naughtiness! Just plain fun, David! Cheers and blessings!

Lin Lane Date: 8/13/2024 8:59:00 AM Well, if those lines don’t make people twitch with an itch, nothing will. Red ant bites, maybe.
