Wanderlust
The road beckons
Pacing the floorboards
She yearns to roam
He is a homebody
Comfort zone
A day of leisure
Travel documentaries from sofa
He is content
She stifles the itch
W3 Prompt #85: Wea’ve Written Weekly’s poet of the week, ladysigh, prompts us to:
Compose two verses according to the following specifications:
- “Opposites”:The first and last word of each stanza must be opposites of one another;
- The two stanzas must use different opposites.
- No restrictions on form, length, meter, or rhyme;
- Thematic: Write about emotions, attitudes, and/or moods;
They say opposites attract. I’m rather a spur of the moment person married to a plan it all out person. A good thing as my husband has probably saved us $$ when I don’t roam about. But then he’s missed all the good buys on socks that were on sale because when he went back to buy them they were back to full price.
Thanks for your clever take on my poem specifications. 🙂

This is exactly like me & my wife, Jenn, except that she doesn’t always stifle the itch ~ sometimes she ends up dragging me along on her adventures! 🙂

I hope you don’t make her regret it! 😉. My husband is usually fine once we get somewhere. He absolutely hates the traveling part.
