Natasha L Scragg Poet Footle

Notes About The Poem

Currently, one of my favourite things is giving myself time to think on things and procees changes in life. Along side the poetry, it is good for mental/emotional health. So it seems like a strange choice for the challenge, but right now it's a personal favourite thing for me...

Time To Process

Contest: Favourites Footle
Sponsor: Karen Jones
Date: July 11th 2026


Mind caught
Deep thought.

Life choice
My voice 

In-side
Can't hide

No sense.
Fog dense...

Cheer up!
Win cup

'Gainst angst. 
Soul thanks.

Don't pout.
Don't shout.

Sad times?
Make rhymes.

Boost self.
Heart health.

Balm soothes.
Smoothe moves...

Mind caught.
Deep thought!
