Charlie Smith Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

Fear

Fear lies effortlessly in portending wait
to bare the intrinsic risk of chance.
View it not just as impending fate
nor play its victim by circumstance...

Carolyn Devonshire January 19, 2019 at 4:52 PM Excellent poem with a wise warning not to be overcome by fear, Charlie. That would, indeed, allow fear to victimize us. Like your poem even more than the great quote by Sophie Tunnell. Hugs, Carolyn Charlie Smith January 20, 2019 at 6:48 AM Thank you Carolyn:::
