Hello There Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Doubt Your Fear

Fear lies in wait, anticipating dreams; 
then, shreds them bit by bit as each ascends. 
But, just afore, allows one great embrace; 
ensuring well-earned praise for crafty schemes.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 23, 2019 at 2:00 PM Very cryptic ink advice, Hello. It surely will take much wiser eyes than mine to appreciate. A poem of much deep thought expressed. May love light your path in life always. Hello There December 26, 2019 at 5:59 PM Thank you so much, Freddie :) It is rather dark, but I liked that it could stand on its own. Thank you for your kind wishes! :)

Jenish Somadas December 23, 2019 at 6:05 AM It seems like an individual poem.. Great write.. Good luck.. Hello There December 26, 2019 at 5:57 PM Thank you very much, Jenish ~ I was actually looking for 4 lines that could hold their own :) I appreciate it!

Silent One December 23, 2019 at 5:24 AM Fear leads to all negative aspects.. great choice for this contest.. Hello There December 26, 2019 at 5:55 PM I changed my original title "Fear is no Friend", because I thought of the circumstance where fear can actually keep you on your toes under very dire circumstances. Thank you so much, Silent One!

Vijay Pandit December 21, 2019 at 7:36 AM These two lines alone should guarantee a win for you: Fear lies in wait, anticipating dreams; then, shreds them bit by bit as each ascends. Much depth to your write, HT. Hello There December 21, 2019 at 7:25 PM Thank you, Vijay ~ I appreciate your confidence in these words :)
