Bonnie Jennings Poet Personification

The Fearing Unknowns

Today, my spirit is as a wild stallion
Free to rear up and paw, my fears
A mother bear protects her young, 
She shelters her cubs, from the feared unknowns
The unknowns are her presumed enemies
Who cloth in darkness, from her prejudiced light
Unknowns are uneducated, they lie today
And, millenniums have passed 
Furthermore, the stallion still rears

Robert Lindley June 29, 2016 at 11:49 AM Fear usually demands fight or flight. Animals most often choose flight if the enemy is man--yet when they do not so choose-- man often suffers more than just injured pride. Solid 7 on this one my friend.. Bonnie Jennings June 29, 2016 at 2:35 PM Thank you for your comments, dear Robert... I do appreciate the 7... Smiles to you!
