“My Heart Leaps Up” by William Wordsworth [w/ Audio]

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Thistle Flowers [Haiku]

thistles are flowering,
looking spiky and dangerous,
yet soft and comely

Black & Tan [Haiku]

two streams join:
one black and one tan --
the lighter moves on.

PROMPT: Fears

Daily writing prompt
What fears have you overcome and how?

For example: being punched in the face and swimming in open waters.

As for how, to my knowledge there’s only one way to overcome any fear and that’s exposure to the fearful stimulus. e.g. One loses (at least greatly reduces) fear of being hit by sparring.

“The Eagle” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson [w/ Audio]

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Brown Water [Haiku]

deep brown river
drags many fields’ of soil
to the sea each day.

“The Lamb” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed.
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee

Little Lamb I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb I'll tell thee!
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb:
He is meek & he is mild,
He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb God bless thee.
Little Lamb God bless thee.
