I did not read this one as being about fear, mystery writer, but as our dark side, the negative qualities that we all have, that sometimes we fear to become...and sometimes others fear being dragged down by it. Waitaminute...Just read your author notes again. Fear of ourselves...I knew I was on 're right track. Good poem.

Since this is obviously a blind contest, therefore your name will not be mentioned. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, giving the reader chills. Good luck in your contest.

This was a dark and twisted thrill to read. It scrapes away at the surface and digs deep beneath the psyche revealing a truth that can only scare oneself...the levels we can achieve and the possibilities available should we choose to cross those lines...it penetrates the soul and delves into the mind confessing what human nature is truly capable of...a terrifying thought. The font style and added image were exceptional choices.

I love the picture. I love the poem. The lady would make me afraid. Fear can be enjoyable sometimes. That is why theme parks and their rides are so popular. That woman could give a man a good time, but she could also kill him.

Great poem. Excellent visual imagery created of a psycho. Creative. Creepy. And still, a touch romantic. Good use of adjectives for details. Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

This gave me chills! I felt as if I was being hunted, lured... Everything about it screamed "Fear Me!" So, with the repeated mention of "Fear me Not" - it felt to calm, eerie. The graphic was perfect for the piece - set the tone nicely... I particularly enjoyed your author notes! I love the notion that we're most alive when we're afraid. Reminds us that we're mere animals, big brains and all. Really gripping piece. I enjoyed it.

Thanks a bunch, Lylise, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. As for the contest goes, well, let's just say that based upon the current voting, I am going to need all of the luck I can get!

An interesting poem that uses fear as the topic.
You create a good sense of fear (wet your pants kind) in your write.
I'm not sure if you met the requirements of the contest though, which asked for expansion on an emotion and its meaning - at least that was my take.
Otherwise - this one had me hiding under the bed.

Well, then that is some consolation for losing the contest at least, Rose...scaring you under the bed, I mean.
That last statement of the poem, where it goes from asking questions to telling you to "Fear Me" expounds on the feelings of fear --your fear, my fear, all God's chil'ren has fears. The contest stated feelings, hence the contest name, "Feelings Poetry".
Thanks for your review, I do appreciate your opinions.

You're welcome. BTW - how do you get the different fonts into your comments section?

Fear me not! Great title, great visual face, great music! I think if I was the one being told not to fear, I would be long gone before she/he had finished the sentence! This is brilliant! Well done, and good luck in the contest! xsx Sandra

Um-m-m-mm, thanks, Sandra, and by the looks of the way things are going in the voting, it would take nothing short of a miracle to pull this one out. But, I had fun writing and sharing it with everyone, just the same. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's back to the drawing board, lol...
