UNSCRATCHED ITCH

UNSCRATCHED ITCH It is a desperate need, an unscratched itch I must walk away and just forget the past Like playing roulette and hoping to get rich But it is a different kind of die that’s cast Be it odd or even, and I don’t care which Just ensure that one’s new life can be a blast I cannot be left with this irritation So this itch I’ll scratch with anticipation

ah, the proverbial 'itch' for a new life...walk away and forgetting the past. I found this poem brilliant and subtle with its message...not to mention a flowing rhyme scheme. Nicely done, sir. Have a great evening, Sara
