Fear. Oh so close that I’m seeing it.
Essence touches me and I’m feeling it.
I smell it in the air, raw and bare.
Fear in my ears. I’m near it and hear it.
I even taste it. My buds won’t waste it.

This is great, Joe. Well done.
Hi Joe I’m so pleased to have found you on the Vocal+ Assist group. I have hearted and subscribed. I very much enjoyed your poem for the Sendational II Challenge. How true - fear awakens all of our 5 senses. ‘I smell it in the air, raw and bare.’ Good luck! With kindness Pauline 🌸 I was hoping you could take a moment to read one of my entries for the same Challenge. I’m sure you’ll feel the thematic progression. ‘Dissociation’ https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/dissociation-lv37b0xin%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Again with the great rhythm and repetition! Love it 😊
Overwhelmed by fear can invade senses completely!
