IISZ 2018 Challenge #8 - Fear

[nibbed]

Ordinary

There's old fears like Bela Lugosi's
threatening accent and strange clothes,
or the dread of sirens, head under desk,
a curse against those godless Reds.
Then there's timeless fears, such as a spider
tickling your leg until it bites,
heights that nauseate worse than sour milk.
Of course there's courage too, usually arriving
at the worse time like your mother's uncle,
who smelled of garlic and could only talk
in the language of the old country.

what a wonderful poem
really made me smile<3

Surreal 

I'm afraid 
you've got the wrong man

that your simple heart 
needs simple things
and I am a riddle 
wrapped up
in myself

that I am Dali 
dressed as Rockwell
with no palate 
to love you.

OMW
I step away for a moment and all these great poems surface.
Dali dressed as Rockwell! Love it <3
