Fear
Loss of
Family
Home, mobility
Above all, loss of memory
Becoming a burden to everyone who loves me
This is written for day 3 of Poetic Asides Poem a Day challenge, where Joshua Gray asks us to write a poem that scares you--so I took fear and ran with it. This form is a fibonacci or (fib), though this poem is truth. My sense of humor still intact :-)

ReplyDeleteOne and then two and then...:-) thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it!

ReplyDeleteHi Sabio!! Nice to see you again :-) I'm not that great with form styles, though I really like this one. Thank you very much for the creative compliment-you made me think of a different angle-an intellectual form describing a loss of intellect!
DeleteLove this. Hadn't come across the fib form before. Your idea? If so: brilliant. Either way, it suits the content, so well done.
ReplyDeleteHi Dave!! Wish I could take credit but here's the history http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fib_(poetry)
DeleteThank you for your generous compliment!:-)
Great form for the fear, Sara! :)
ReplyDeleteHi De!! Thank you, I really enjoy this form:-)
DeleteGreat commitment to form. The message has duality--both personal and universal.
ReplyDeleteHi Jack!! That's an excellent observation. Thank you for the compliment.
