I Spy

I've lost so many things over the last few weeks that I've decided to seek professional help. Doctor Roy G. Biv advised me to periodically take a step back and revisit the things I've lost. Scientifically speaking, making a mental index of those lost and found items should help me find an explanation for all of my recent problems.

Nine black _____ in the mix.

Nine _____ to read,

And ticking _____ six.

And seven cuddly _____

I really want to bring home.

Within each group of items I find,

An elemental message I notice.

I take note of the relevant number of each,

Then I can extract my diagnosis:
