Introducing Guest Writer Kimberli Pierantoni.
” I’m 21 years old and I’m majoring in Communication at Laramie County Community College. I’ve been openly writing poetry, non-fiction and songs for five years now. I am an artist. I do a lot of photography, drawings, dancing and I play music. For my writings I have gone to a few literature conferences. I took a class in mass media and literacy. Here is one of my poems … keep reading Life is as Sweet as Cotton Candy to read more of my work.”
Mr. Fear
Laughter plays upon my eyes,
Here I stand center stage spotlight on me,
My voice strings the crowd along.
A portrait of me hung on the wall, similar as the faded pages of a book
The audience takes a closer look,
I draw them in, appearing through my magic mirror.
A chill creeps up my spine, staring back at the crowd,
Whilst the fog settles in thick as smoke, soon to surrender to fathom,
My fist pounds against the surface of the mirror, shimmering shards hit the floor,
Time stands still, my breathe captured in the odd echoes,
Laughter broke the silence and the fear within evaporates.
Life is as Sweet as Cotton Candy 
Kimberli,
Fear can be crippling but when we move beyond the moment of releasing it, we float like a helium balloon into the stratosphere!
Thanks Brenda! I’m still working on facing my fears. 🙂 I love how you compared the release of fear to a helium balloon. 🙂 It’s my first poem that I REALLY like. Wait until the next one. 🙂
Fear…a subject all it’s own. And something I’ve spent my life dealing with! Beautiful poem, Kimberli! 🙂
Thank you Bernice!
