Scratchin'

After twenty or thirty years

A grudge gets lighter

Or maybe it gets comfortable

Lying in its hole

In your soul.

It itches now

and then.

i so agree, what a great write in such few words. excellent!!!

[An Ordinary Woman]

Agrees! We shouldn't have time for such things as grudges but I know how easily they creep up on us.

[Sel Whiteley]

Powerful and resonant and above all, very very true. I love the freshness of the image and how succinct the poem is.

[WhiteWillow]

How true. Either way, time is a friend to those painful moments in life. Wonderfully stated.
