My response to a poem

Fear
by Ciaran Carson
I fear the vast dimensions of eternity. I fear the gap between the platform and the train. I fear the onset of a murderous campaign. 1 fear the palpitations caused by too much tea. I fear the drawn pistol of a rapparee. I fear the books will not survive the acid rain. I fear the ruler and the blackboard and the cane. I fear the Jabberwock, whatever it might be. I fear the bad decisions of a referee. I fear the only recourse is to plead insane. I fear the implications of a lawyer's fee. I fear the gremlins that have colonized my brain. I fear to read the small print of the guarantee. And what else do I fear? Let me begin again. My response to this poem is that I can relate to this poem in two different ways. My first way that I could relate to this is that when I was a kid I was pretty much a scaredy-cat. Because,I would scared of almost anything that my cousins told me that  sounded pretty much very scary to me. If I was asked to write about my fears when I was a kid. I would have probably filled up a page and a half full of my fears.  My second way that I could relate to this poem is that I have two younger siblings that are  pretty much the same as me when I was a little kid. They believe what they see on TV and what my cousins tell them that may seem scary to them. Their pretty much like me.  I have to agree that this poem has rhyme and rhythm. Because, the lines rhyme  every few lines. Rhythm because, every line begins with the words " I Fear".
