No Man is Without Fear

~No Man Is Without Fear~ He was handsome beyond imagination, more intelligent than any human alive, a leader of men, a captain of industry, successful in all pursuits, and loved by all who knew him. Women swooned at the sight of him, men bowed low in his presence and children studied his greatness in school. Rulers of nations envied him. He lowered his head to no one on earth. Except for his mother and father. Because they knew he was afraid of the dark. All humans know fear, some people hide it better, I fear giant ants.

truth and wisdom in your Haibun, Jerry. The narrative was the perfect set up for the Haiku...and I enjoyed that you ended it with your fear of ants. smiles...have a pleasant evening, Sara
