Childhood fears—it’s likely you might have had one or two of
them. For today’s prompt I’m going to ask you to revisit them, but with a
twist. I want you to write about a situation that would scare whatever it was you
were scared of. For instance, if you were scared of clowns, imagine one getting
terrified when they ended up at an insurance seminar instead of at one of their
usual haunts.
New poems only please. And support your fellow Toads by
hopping over to their pads and seeing how their words tame the things that go
bump in the night.

Good morning Toads! I'm sorry I'm not keeping up with reading and commenting at the moment but I'm having far too much fun with my grandson. I hope I don't scare you today; as you've probably gathered, I'm not only scared of dolls but also ventriloquist dummies. I chose the least scary image to avoid nightmares!
🌻have fun with your handsome grandson!
Thank you, Rommy. This prompt was a great opportunity to reassess my childhood fears and see what had become of them.
Thank you for a great prompt Rommy. Revisiting my childhood fears is always interesting.
As Kerry mentioned,your prompt was a good opportunity to look backward and remember those fears, all of which have still to be abandoned. :-)
great prompt Rommy, thank you. I'm not sure i really got to the meat of it in mine, but i was trying to keep it compact.
I outgrew my childhood fears in favor of real adult fears. so I addressed that. And my parents helped with dissolving the fears of childhood.
I'm over the fear, but I'd like to put a few scares in. :)
Mine turned out surprisingly long and preachy! (Sorry.) A voyage of self-discovery, actually.
Sarah McNulty, can't find how to leave a comment on this post, sorry. I would have said, 'Snap! But yours is much more succinct.'
And I can't get to erbiage at all!!! ('Site not found'.)
Sarah, I can't comment on you blog, but I want you to know I love how you handle fear, put a light on it.
