FEAR

Take this as a challenge. The poem FEAR is about an irrational fear that I have that annoys me. I suspect similar fears may affect other men. The challenge is to consciously write about something that scares the shit out of you even you know the fear is absurd. The closer we're willing to go to the unconscious parts of our minds, the more creative the poetry will be. We can learn & draw strength from one & other in this way..ANYBODY GAME?.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
