That spreads its cloak when approaches the night,
Or sits in a room devoid of light.

The mention of death inculcates a fear –
When the soul escapes and the bones shall decay –
They know it’ll happen to them one day.

Many fear being lost in a crowd;
The fear of thunder, or the one of heights,
Or the fear of blood and the gruesome sights.

Yet the ugliest of all fears
Is that of being contradicted,
Of being opposed and convicted;

And so they fearfully curtail their speech
And cease their typing, the pens they withdraw
Till no one dares to point out our flaws.

The Fear

Some have a fear of the darkness
That spreads its cloak when approaches the night,
Or sits in a room devoid of light.

The mention of death inculcates a fear –
When the soul escapes and the bones shall decay –
They know it’ll happen to them one day.

Many fear being lost in a crowd;
The fear of thunder, or the one of heights,
Or the fear of blood and the gruesome sights.

Yet the ugliest of all fears
Is that of being contradicted,
Of being opposed and convicted;

And so they fearfully curtail their speech
And cease their typing, the pens they withdraw
Till no one dares to point out our flaws.

One would have to relate -- to understand; this
dead on truth. If one can push through and master --
this self inflicted fear...
Well let's just say: this poem is brilliant.

"The Fear' is one-of-a-kind. It speaks a fearsome truth. You have captured one secret of poetry here, the sparkle of words -- even distressing words. I have the feeling that anyone of us who read this poem will be changed. It is THAT powerful. How strong are words! Words -- it seems -- from your fine verses -- words challenge fear. Words. Win. Fear. Fails.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
