Have No Fear

New friend, I see you've been scared off.

Well, you must realize

When I write I exaggerate-

Poems must dramatize.



I don't really have those feelings

I expressed in writing

But without them, the poem's dead

So words must be biting.



Indeed, when they snap and show life

The reader is alert

Ever seeking a route to home,

Looking for any hurt.



A safe poem is quite boring-

Excuse me while I yawn.

Just ignore any danger signs-

Come frolic on my lawn.
