Bravery

Bravery
By John R. Greenwood
It’s all changed now
Things in the mirror suddenly look different
Little boy fear in the face of a tiger
No one behind with a pointed gun
All open field 
No where to run
Serpentine my only hope
Keep my back 
Out of sight

  1. Brilliant. Especially loved the line, "no where to run/ serpentine my only hope".

  2. John,

    A very nice blend of fear and bravery, An open road, but nowhere to hide.

    Best wishes,
    Eileen

  3. I think even the brave are sometimes fearful. A good write!
