Notes About The Poem

Let's Get Emotional - Personification In A Sicilian Quntain Stanza Sponsored by- Andrea Dietrich Rhyme-ababa Five lines only, as Personification of an emotion

I Am Fear

Here I sit, as the King upon my throne.
Logic bound and gagged by Fight and Flight.
Amygdala, my Kingdom of hormones,
turn up heart rate, improve hearing and sight. 
Perspiration, my signature cologne.

Janice Canerdy August 30, 2024 at 5:59 PM Crystol, this is a very creative take on the "character" of fear! Janice

Andrea Dietrich August 29, 2024 at 3:35 PM This is super creative. i had to look up Amygdala, but it was a cool image once i knew what it was. Last line was so fine!! Congrat. Crystol Woods August 30, 2024 at 12:10 PM Oh yay thank you!! Great contest Andrea! Thanks for the effort! Xoxo

Valsa George August 20, 2024 at 6:24 AM When we grow fearful, our heartrate will go up and perspiration will soak the body. When Amygdala, the seat of emotions is activated, it will produce many changes in the body and mind. A great entry, dear Crystol. All the Best. Crystol Woods August 20, 2024 at 2:47 PM Thanks so much Valsa! You are correct... and anxiety disorders are like a faulty wire in the works that initiate that response for no reason! Thanks for the visit and chat! Xo
