Ciao !

Very true..that's because what we don't know often scares us.

I remember my first day as a caddie.

I was worried to make a fool out of myself... all those golf clubs scared me...and their names.

The match ended and I was still alive and nothing disastrous
happened. It was actually no big deal. So much energy wasted.

PS: just friendly suggestion..you need to enlarge your font. Most elderly members will not be able to read your poetry.

Hi Andrea,
This poem tells a truth in a few words. Sometimes we make things harder than they should be. Though the picture does seem to be a dangerous situation for the boat, But maybe the strorm winds will blown the ship around that obstacle.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have an enjoyable weekend.
Joan

Your verse is a fine definition of fear to which I can definitely relate. Your 5-7-5 form is accurately counted and with image this post hits the spot when it comes to evocative presentation. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie

I call it the "retrospectoscope," things always seem cheerier on the other side.

A thought provoking short poem. I really enjoyed reading it,

How very true. How much time I've wasted dreading the outcome of something, and it's turned out to be, as you say, nothing.

This is a strong entry for the contest, and I hope it does well.

Words of wisdom in a concise
poem. I love short poetry,
because although small, it

A truthful, philosophical thought, encapsulated ably in a mere seventeen syllables. It's simply stated but within it is one of the keys to survival. Well done and good luck in the contest.
