My Greatest Fear

My Greatest Fear

There is a time,
when in your mind.
Where fears appear,
there is no cheer.

There will come a fear,
that will hit you near.
With a saddened frown,
I let her down.

She had faith,
that went to waste.
My greatest fears,
are in mom’s tears.

This is an old poem I wrote about six or seven years back.
I did something that upset my mom, I suppose I wrote this to cheer her up.
Just thought I'd share.

This was an interesting piece. :) It could be lengthened, but I'll just look over what you have here. :)

The period in this stanza, after when in your mind, needs to be a comma. It's very interesting, though a bit confusing. Maybe, lengthening it, and adding some metaphors would help this. Not that it's bad, but it could add some spark.

This stanza is really, really awesome. I adored it. :)

I can't really say anything about this stanza except how sweet this is. It's very sweet, though short. I really think that if you lengthened it a bit, it would help the poem over-all. I think it's more of a turn off to read an extremely short poem than it is to read a really long poem.

The reason you wrote it is very sweet. :) I'm sure your mom loved it as well. Well done. :)

This piece was decent, but rather short. I think you should revise and make a little longer. Good idea though. Please check out some of my stuff sometime! Cheers and keep up the good work.
