What Am I Afraid Of?

Poetry prompt

Thinking, God is with me, What am I afraid of? I have no fear of anything, Lucky

I first thought that I was afraid of this and that and even told Josh who prompted me that I was afraid of snakes but when I sat down and begun thinking, I thought, God is with me, so I have no fear. I am lucky.

I depicted the same through the Cinquain form of poetry that I learned from Josh Balerite Acol’s poem and since she encourages me to try new forms I thought I will work on it.

The Cinquain form of poetry:

It is a five-line poetic form.

#1. The first line has two syllables.(2) #2. The second line comprises four syllables.(4) #3. The third line has six syllables. (6) #4. The fourth line has eight syllables (8) #5. And the fifth line has two syllables. (2)

This poetic format is invented by an American poet, Adelaide Crapsey, and is based on the Japanese haiku and tanka forms.

Josh’s poem with this form is given below:
