Like a native hut with no thatch
Like a gate in gale that won't latch
Like a cigarette without a match
Like a warm egg that won't hatch
Like a lady aroused with no snatch
Like a burning itch I can't scratch
Like a clever joke I can't catch

This is excellent, Northy. You've captured that feeling that something is not quite complete inferring a deadline has arrived or is approaching.

i knew you would understand Mary.
Didn't think of it as a deadline approaching, but reading it over, that is a profound observation. This thing we speak of, it comes and it goes, but sometimes it can be so overpowering and the dissatisfaction can get to me, then it's good to get it out through a poem.

You're a kind and insightful soul, MaryWalker, i really appreciate your input
