Fear of Women 8 X 8

A man of heart and hope and light Was chivalrous all day and night His savior in his heart, was right. His fear of women was his plight. Women afraid, upon sight. Met one whose heart was pure and white. Eliminated all his fright Had a woman to hold all night 8 by 8 Poetry Contest Written 11-08-2018 Sponsor: P.S. Awtry

I like a surprise ending - either something funny to make me laugh, or something terrifying to insure I will not sleep.

Until we meet someone whose "heart is pure and light," some of us are afraid of taking a chance on romance. Like the way you described this chivalrous knight and allowed us to relate to his plight. Best wishes in the contest, Caren. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn. It was a fun "try" 8 by 8 is much more difficult than I would have guessed.
