Great awareness writing about fear and anxiety.
We can do, we can be strong and we can conquer.
I like how you stomp on fear until its dead and dance.
I'm all about dancing on the water with the Holy Father
in the storms. We can have fun, fear not. ***********

Tread lightly if you dare. that would be my thoughts of this image. Syllable count is accurate. Subject is multi-diverse as many fears on the ledge of life can be stomped on. Well done.

Such a rigid form of poetry, but I reckon you turned out a beauty! I like how you managed to incorporate a rhyme scheme as well; no mean feat in this style of poem I'd say. I don't know what else to add here - it's past 3 in the afternoon in Australia and I'm hungry. But I did enjoy this wee poem, and hope it does you proud in the contest. Good luck! I'm off to get a snack now...

Wow, that was an amazing poem. I admire those who can deliver deep messages in just a few words. I try at it, but fall short of the impact a few words can make.

And the message, timeless and needed. I am inspired!

Thanks for sharing,
Rhonda

Oh, I get it. But, please, step back from the edge before you dance. All of a sudden, I sound like Woody Allen!

You make a good point, Chip, paralysis is fear manifest.

Best of luck with the Committee.

Peace, Lee

Chip - nice job on this. The strictness of the format didn't even slow you down. A wonderful message for all. I particularly liked, 'tiptoe on the edge'. Haven't seen your posts yet, but don't visit FS too often. Good luck on your writing! Bill

Nice four-line poetry, chip. You have taken a fear and made it into a resolve for people who fear heights for one thing. A good entry in the contest and I wish you the best of luck with it. (I think)

Hey, I am just randomly reviewing and I just read your second place poem.
This one, also very nicely done with a great photo choice as well. This is a whole different format, yet you nailed it with your very upbeat topic choice. This would be a great poster and in my opinion, marketable!
(Just so you know, I am out of sixes to award!) Sorry!
Great job and glad to spun the wheel and landed on your work twice.
