Unease? ... Oh, please!

by Wendy G

Uneasy Contest Winner 

Well, I'm not comfortable when
I over-think my thoughts and then …
Others may think less of me
'Cos I can't write with quality!
 
Unease I feel if home's not clean
Spiders may well lurk unseen!
Discomfort if there's too much dust
I just do housework if I must.
 
Tech stuff causes me distress …
Computer glitch? Makes me a mess!
Afraid to touch the stupid thing …
So call my son – his help to bring.
 
I'm ill at ease in certain ways
Wonder about my end of days …
Will they look after my much-loved pet?
Feed him well … or just forget?
 
Oh yes, I also feel unease
If talk is only of disease
Makes me feel so very old
Imagined ills my fears unfold!
 
It's hard to write of things like these!
I rack my brains … Muse – help me please!
Who thinks of topics such as this?
The next such one … I'll give a miss!

Writing Prompt
When I heard myself tell my daughter, "Let me put you at ease, I thought what if instead what I said caused them distress? And thus, this contest, became part of me.

Examples could be swimming alone, bugs and such, changing a diaper. Name 1 or 2 or 3 or more.
Have fun.
