Fear

HAIKU #12,024-12,027
(c) 12/23/14



Fear opens the door
that shows us where courage blooms
when we chase off gloom.

Fear is never foul
it faces the enemy
and melts frozen hearts

Fear tosses the key
that could lead us into view
sanctuary blue.

Wow Queen of Haiku! Do you know God provides you this name" Iris" for a good reason?Iris is a circular structure in the eye controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. Just put "word" in place of "light"--perfect quality for a haiku writer. About the flower(Iris) you know very well.God bless you Iris. Wish you and your family a very prosperous 2015.---Your friend RAJAT
