If I Weren'T Afraid, I'D Be a Writer

If I weren’t afraid, I’d write a novel Tell the story of love growing up Or the fictionary tale of a quarrel Possibly something with a buildup If I weren’t afraid, I’d write an article Tell others how to grow vegetables Or perhaps just what is in a particle Probably give directions to festivals If I weren’t afraid, I’d write an essay Tell about the day I got married Or maybe how I felt when gone astray Possibly something about love being scary If I weren’t afraid, I’d write a short story Tell my reader how much I adore nature Or maybe make it read like a mystery Probably a gospel story like told by our creator If I weren’t afraid, I’d write a poem Tell about the little things that I love Or recall the many times I’ve felt an omen To reach out with hymns from up above September 12, 2019 IF I WEREN'T AFRAID Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier
