Poem Post due yesterday

 Mr Fear by Lawrence Raab was a very strong poem in my opinion. Being a worrier myself , it especially struck me as a relatable poem.  It is talking about "Mr Worry" the man who gives our fears at night, always giving us new fears to trouble us.  "He follows us, he keeps track" This describes how our owrries grow with each day.  We all seem to have that one, irrational fear that gets to us the most. Raab describes this very well in this passage "Maybe he smiles when he finds the right one. Maybe he's sorry" I felt that this poem could aslo be about nightmares."Fear, let me have a small brown bat and a purse of crickets like the ones I heard singing last night out in the stubbly feild before I slept and met you." This reminded me of having nightmares about things that scared you in the day or things you saw that day. I really liked this peom. It gives a great perspective on worries. A very different, almost folk tale like vision on fear and or nightmares.
