Phobias

3/28/11

Does it have eight legs?

Does it slither in the grass?

Is it too high for you,

or too many kids in your class?

Your mind plays cruel tricks,

seeing what isn't there.

A shadow or a sound

can give you a scare.

Do you cry and scream

when you're left in the dark?

Are you in a terror when

on a plane you embark?

Does your fright, to your eye

bring a river of tear?

Let me ask you this,

what is your fear?

Author's Note

This poem was really difficult for me to write and as you could probably tell, a little forced. But I was determined to write a poem about this subject, so here it is. I hope it is up to par and that you guys enjoy it.

You definitely chose an interesting subject, different phobias, such as fear of spiders, fear of heights and spiders etc , they probably have scientific names but I don't know them. Everyone has a fear that's for sure. I think you rhymed this excellently and I couldn't have done it better myself. Hats off to you!

Good write.. Tough to write, tough to rhyme, but you captured the essence.
Your mind plays cruel tricks,
seeing what isn't there.
