The Fear
October 31, 2011
Cold fingers wrap
And continue to tap
On the inside of your soul.
Cold bands tighten
And continue to frighten
They won’t release you from their hold.
Shrill voices scream
And break into dreams
They say that you’ve been told;
Still it doesn’t seem
As life continues to team
That fear itself can be so cold.

I never was good at meters; they always confused me. I could go back in my Creative Writing material and take better note, so I can look back for help on those things when I need it.

I really like this, it is as you say 'Short and sweet' you really are very good at rhyming. As a point of improvemet I'd slightly change your opening, it's a little comfusing. On the other hand it's quite mysterious.
For the future you might try 'iambic pentameter' or 'black verse' ie the beats that Shakespare uses within his work, this might give your work an interesting rhythem.

Yep, guess I missed that. You didn't think there was anything wierd with my name, your name has Tiger in it, and even though you don't have an account, you commented on all of my poem. It was piecemeal, really.

shoot, I fail. I use "Tiger" and "Tiggerlily" a lot because it was my cats name :-/ and how does the no account help...a lot of people don't...hehehe (did you miss the fact that I told you yesterday that it was me?)

Yeah, that's kind of what I was aiming for. Good to know I achieved my goal, thank you.

I guessed that it was you when I saw "Tiger" in your name, and the fact that you don't have an account.

Nothing, it was a lame, pseudo-selfcentered thing. People who spen a lot of time with me would get it, but not many other people.
