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...

"Fear is a slinking cat I find between the lilacs of my mind"-Sophie Tunnell

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/19/2019 4:52:00 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 Login to Reply Charlie Smith Date: 1/20/2019 6:48:00 AM Thank you Carolyn:::
