fear a fickle companion
an adventure inhibiting companion
not a trustworthy best defense companion
a standing petrified incapable lost cause companion
a camouflage coward sell out lies not dependable companion
an option flight not fight swift run away companion
a tends to limit options ability companion
no not solid best friend companion
fear a fickle companion
better to make friends
with confidence and courage
then step out into life
Most of us have fears they may be irrational but that does not make them any less real here the delves into the uselessness of fearing fear Fear needs to be put into perspective A Great write enjoyed
2) In total agreement with Susan Williams' comments. Sincerest THANKS once again, Poet Friend for your tribute poem!
Almost 7 years later, I'm rereading this truly amazing poem. As a former social worker and clinical hypnotherapist, I've seen how paralyzing fear can be to some people. Especially during pandemics!
Good write. It's a sound advise as long as people take precautions as some weirdos are out there ;))
To Paul and Susan, thank you for the interesting comments, I think I need to write about fear due to the need and fear friends are expressing. I have a poem in mind if I can find time to write it. To Richard my inspiration, without your words this poem would not have been written, I thank you, the pleasure was mine and you are always welcome.

Hi Susan I wrote the poems 'Deny Irrational Fears An Ability To Enslave' and the longer preventative version 'Take Up Arms Defeat COVID' to address the question of fear.
