A Poet's Fear Poem by Marc O'Maolain
A Poet's Fear
Fear of expressing what my heart feels
Dread of dead metaphors
Of using clichés and unapproved ways
I sit like a boat without oars
Un-manifest, my songs unsung
Like a child that fears and abhors
A scolding teacher’s harshing tongue
Words stranded on the shores
Of my soul, unsent to one
Who hears me nevermore
Stunning composition of a poet's fear But do we have to fear to express our mind and feelings? That's what are writers for to express the unheard voices Even the use of dead metaphors or even non-sense in someways to others.... Great poem to share written in vividness and fine diction.....10

This is awesome, and brilliantly written. There’s nothing to fear. But do remember that you are writing for others as well as yourself. You’re already a poet. Poetry writes itself, we’re just a conduit (vessel) . And it only takes a minimal effort to create and share inspiration.
