Writing Prompt |
Emotions have overcome us all at one time or another. It could be from someone that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Write a poem that expresses feelings and emotions such as anger or depression. Any type of poem is welcomed. |
Author Notes
After taking the oath of office, Roosevelt proceeded to deliver his inaugural address, best known for his famously pointed reference to "fear itself" in one of its first lines:
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself..." -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I've often wondered if we should have nothing but ourselves to fear.
Many have said they've never felt more alive than when they were afraid. What do you fear, dear reader?
*Limited punctuation intentional.
Thanks for reading.
