Excellent. There is such a strong description for these emotions that many can identify with at sometime in their lives. Nice rhyming. Good luck in the contest. Betty Davis

This poem describes fear in a most creative and definitive way. It also could cover anxiety as a description. This poet did a very good job of using the senses to describe fear.

This is an incredible write. I've seen them in different formats so I don't know for sure what the correct format is however, if the purpose is to draw on a reader's emotions, you have succeeded in that! Extraordinary! xoxo Kiwi

"The Scream" is a great choice to accompany your description of fear. I admired your appeal to various senses in these quatrains and your "silken strands of steel" metaphor. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Hi there,
Fear is indeed a difficult emotion to express. I happen to be a psychiatrist and hence, this poem is of special significance to me. You have done a great job. All the best for the time to come.

Thank you for the nomination; however, I feel I'm not a good reviewer. Sometimes, the muse hits me, and I respond. Your poem is much better, more passionate with the words you chose to change. I like it much better this way. We're all here to help each other be better writers--using all of our senses to describe what we feel.

Fear certainly affects all the senses and tears you down and destroys your confidence, there is nothing to fear, but fear itself as they say, good luck with the contest, best wishes, love Dolly x

Hello!
You have "nailed" the emotion of fear for this reader in your piece. What I really appreciate about your emotion poem, aside from its message, is how it is written without the confines of formatting it like "Fear feels like," etc. Kudos!

Best Wishes,
diane
