FEAR You asked me what I fear most? Hopefully this post will at least come close. Algophobia- Fear of pain - - Why most certainly! Androphobia- Fear of men - - happens naturally! Bolshephobia- Fear of Bolsheviks - - Thought this was harilous Bogyphobia- Fear of the boogeyman - - A most resounding YES! Cheimaphobia - Fear of cold - - It makes me fear getting ill Dementophobia- Fear of insanity - - Crazy after all these years, still! Eremophobia- Fear of of loneliness - -Well, maybe just a smidge Francophobia- Fear of France - - I have yet to cross that bridge Genophobia- Fear of sex - -Um, well, not that I’m aware Kymophobia- Fear of waves - - Yes and no, please take me there! Leprophobia - Fear of leprosy - - Yep, I was raised Catholic you see. Megalophobia- Fear of large things - - Hmmm, it depends, I could be! Metrophobia- Fear or hatred of poetry - - Now who could hate that? Paraskavedekatriaphobia- Fear of Friday the 13th - - I do avoid black cats Peniaphobia- Fear of poverty - - I would be crazy not to be Satanophobia- Fear of Satan? Naw, he’s got nothing on me! Thanatophobia - Fear of death or dying - - Never gave it much thought Walloonphobia- Fear of the Walloon - - Don’t know the goons, I fear them NOT! Xanthophobia- Fear of the color yellow - - It never was my favorite color Zemmiphobia- Fear of the great mole rat - - Bet you donuts to the dollar! (c) 1999 CM Bailey |

Thanks, Watcher, was tasked with writing a poem about fear and I felt that an absurd approach might be more fun. |

Hey, where did you find all that stuff?? This was cute Your little ditty on our fears Taught me things on here I find that I, above all else, Am quite afraid of fear ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides |
