Fear is a beast

Seemingly unknown,
Fear feeds upon your soul and mind
that blood-stained hand on the wall
creeping in and taking everything you know
stealing your hearts works
stealing who you are.

  • I really like this poem I only see one thing that I would fix is this line. "stealing your hearts works" " Hearts works" being two plurals makes the reader stumble a bit, other hen that its wonderful.

  • For such a short poem, this says a lot. It shows the raw emotion that is fear, at it's very basic and primitive state, but at the same time, it delves deep into the emotions of the reader.

    I wish you the best of luck, and keep writing and improving your poetry. ^__^

    Excellent picture with this poem. It really added to it. This piece was short, but that didn't mean it wasn't strong. I enjoyed this poem. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

  • Indeed you are right, fear is a beast, but it's also a very natural process. As long as we don't let it control our lives, then fear is good for us, as it keeps us safe from harm. Phobias and social fears shouldn't go out of order though, we need to balance what we dislike to what we will let paralyze us.

    I love this piece. it flows so well and as we well know, I am a stickler for punctuation and grammar. you didn't let me down. Very well done.

    if we let it fear will eat us alive and eave us a quivering wreck. Unable to trust or, be trusted. great job

    well done, and thanks for entering,

    I like this, but I'm going to say "no".

    I want you to come back a third time (yeah, I'm giving you permission), with something like this, except with more imagery and metaphor. I think you have it in you, but I want to see something more developed that shows me you have potential to compete with the top dog poets, so to speak.

    This is excellent!
    I love the word choice, and asking me if seemingly was a word now makes sense.
    Your image is well created and very creepy.

    Thank you for entering my contests and good luck
