get your poem on #52
Welcome back, fear-fighters! Did you slay your dragons this week? Face your fears head-on with oomph? Even if all you did was crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head (and write a poem with a flashlight), we want to read about it!
Leave us a link to your blog post in the comments below. Or leave several comments (if you have more than one link to share) if you kicked your fears to the curb. If you mailed them to great-aunt Tillie, let us know how she received them! Do tell!

A note from “admin”: We here at Read Write Poem try to have as few rules as possible. Having said this, we do want to stress how important it is that you link back here in your posts, either with a hyperlink to Read Write Poem or by using the (pretty cool, if we say so ourselves) newish badge in your post. Putting a link in your sidebar is great — and we encourage that, love it we do — but it’s important for the group’s “internet health” that you link to us with each and every post you contribute to the project.
And please also add “Read Write Poem” in your tags, if you don’t mind. Search engines come up with weird stuff when they look for “RWP,” such as “Radiation Work Permit.” We’d much rather link them up with our poetry than with something from a bad sci-fi movie, or “event.”

This is a man, who quietly fears, he may not be able to go on — but he does… day by day.
Not Since Then
I often find that one of the best ways of dealing with my fears is to laugh at them and try to remember just how ridiculous they are. Hence a quite light-hearted poem about a fear that has had a big effect on my life and relationships:
No, really
And this poem’s based on the word cloud from a few days earlier.
Happy Get Your Poem on Day!
Here’s my response to the wordle prompt:
my darling, my zaftig
Short and not so sweet from me:
Fear
Fear of tomorrow’s salvation
