Fear robs us of so many blessings. We need more faith and trust, IMHO. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

There is an eeriness about catacombs, graveyards etc. Your senryu captures that feeling. Take care.

Once trapped in the catacombs of fear. It is hard to escape.

That's true, Jerry, it usually takes the help of someone that's been there. Thanks for the visit and comments, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I don't like that cave with all its twist and turns. I try to avoid that kind of fear, but it still happens from time to time. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Way to go. Creative and descriptive. Sara

I try to catch myself as quick as I can, Sara, but sometimes it happens to me anyway. I just try to minimize the damage as best as I can. Thanks for the visit and comments, my friend. Bill

Your senryu, Bill, is truly so well penned. You've created an image of fear, personally crafted, as a spiral taking one down, down. Excellent writing! All the best. Brian

This creation is not just ordinary; it is a remarkable manifestation of how we can effortlessly descend into a downward abyss, helplessly entrapped in the powerful gusts of our own deceiving fantasies. Great Senryu Bill.

This is a very heartfelt poem. Sometimes i wonder what would be your fears? I like the way you’ve used the word “ catacomb” so clever and creative of you bill. Arent we all sometimes lost in our own imaginary scenarios tht live in our head, making us spiral. The way you’ve expressed so much in just 575 syllables is beyond me. You and sara are so talented and gifted! You both write effortlessly and your words here flow so seamlessly! A fave again because it takes strength to express like this.

I don't want to be in a catacomb of fear, that is scary, and dank, and depressing.

It happens to me sometimes, but it allows me to feel the power of God's presence in my life, as He lifts me up so I can see His Love. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Bill, I can imagine beneath the earth riding the rails, digging myself out. Don't fret, there is always a way, fear is trying to set you free. Peaceful wishes, Anaya
