CINQUAIN (Know it)
Phobia.
Worst fear
Fear of negligence
Destroys content in life
Panic !
HAIKU -1 (Know it)Neglected feelings!
To gain my confidence back
I go back to work
HAIKU - 2
Fear strikes back at me
I am left confused throughout
Oh ,Sleep embrace me !
These three are perfection. You state so much, so eloquently, in so few words and lines. I admire your ease with haiku, a form I find very challenging. Great response to the prompt!

ReplyDeleteIf one day you feel like crying,
ReplyDeleteCall me.
I don’t promise that I will make you laugh,
But I can cry with you.
If one day you want to run away,
Don’t be afraid to call me.
I don’t promise to ask you to stop,
But I can run with you.
Nice, Uma :)
