Today we write about hunger. Hunger can mean many things; here I try to capture a sense of uncontrollable, unreasonable yearning for something in an acrostic poem. I'm not sure if this is something everyone experiences, but I know I have, mostly related to lust or envy.
HUNGER
Hectic yearning
Unquenchable desire
Need unrequited
Gnawing guilt
Endless ache
Relentless obsession
I think you caught it...the hectic yearning makes me think of all the racing thoughts that bombard at a time like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't have that feeling as much as I used to, but I remember it well.
DeleteYes, you have described it perfectly in a clever acrostic.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for your kind words, and for stopping by!
DeleteVery well described.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
DeleteThanks! I sometimes feel like if I want something in that obsessive way, my emotions are all tangled up and guilt is in there somewhere. Like I should want less or something.
