Unscratched Itch

If people have some sort of yearning, dissatisfaction or some itch that hasn't been scratched, it might be because they aren't looking in the right direction for a solution. They aren't looking within.     ~ Russell Brand


Sometimes I need to make a switch
when things go awry, like a glitch
causing worry and makes me twitch
An unscratched itch      An unscratched itch

Mindful of things I'd like to do
a new hobby I might pursue
learn to paddle my own canoe
Have a breakthrough        Have a breakthrough

To satisfy my heart's desire
and ignite the spark of love's fire
I'd do whatever I require
My goals aspire     My goals aspire

Scratch my itch when I've the notion
Put my ideas into motion
following through with devotion
and emotion             and emotion

Login to Reply Edward Ibeh Date: 1/11/2024 10:51:00 AM I actually thought you wrote a "Desperate Hope" poem, Lin, but I'm so glad you chose the Unscratched Itch theme as just a few tackled it. Rest assured, I loved the form chosen and your poem, my friend.. Lin Lane Date: 1/10/2024 1:43:00 PM Thank you, Edward, but I think I should've chosen the phrase that got all the first-place mentions. Or perhaps you didn't like the form I used.
