Scares Me Most

What are your fears?

Future uncertain,

Each dream torn asunder

Atrocities outside my door

Riot of fretful wonder

The news corps have a lot to answer for Rita. We are bombarded by sensationalism and horror because thats what sells. This peek into your fears is very similar to mines. Great little Acrostic. Ang.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Ang. I feel the same way about the news media... have written about that, in fact... And still, we forge ahead. :)

[Ang Boyce]

Nothing else for it my friend. At least 'they' know we know if you know what I mean..lol

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha - yes, indeed! ;)

[Angi]

This ties it up into a tight little nugget. The last line is perfect. I didn't realize this was an acrostic at first! That makes it a winner! Angi~

[Rita L. Sev]

Cool! Thank you, Angi! :)

[S. Overstreet]

As simple as this poem is, it hits all the major points of fear. Awesome. Sometimes the less that is said impacts the most.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, S.O. Appreciate your review!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

really like this acrostic...especially the "riot of fretful wonder"

that is some really good phrasing there.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Jacob - that was the line I was most worried about! (or should I say "fretful"...)

[Jack...]

Very cool teach...I think my biggest fear is something happening to my children followed by upsetting and losing a good friend. Oh yeah, like Frieda, dentist drills scare the crap out of me too.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Jack - I do avoid the dentist, though I think his bill scares me more than his drill!

[Frieda P]

Good one Rita, how much time do you have? Clowns, I abhor them them, high places, the dentist's drill, uncertainty for sure, but mostly ignorance...

[Jack...]

Hey, I ignore ants all the time, it never seemed to bother anyone before. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Uncertainty is my biggest... but you hit on some good ones! Thanks, Frieda.
Jack, that took me a minute... must be the wine kicking in... LOL!

[Frieda P]

Uncertainty encompasses so much, your kids, your hubby, your dog, your life, I get it...and hey, where's my wine?! Cheers Rita....my pleasure.
