OctPoWriMo 2023: Facing Our Fears

Today’s prompt was adapted from a prompt in The Poets & Writers Complete Guide to Being a Writer called “Help Yourself.” It says that the trick to reaching goals is to give advice to others. So with the goal of facing our fears write a poem that gives advice about how to face fear in general, or a specific fear, or fears.

To keep this advice in the form of a poem, you may want to try a Villanelle.

Today’s visual prompt is another scary character. Is this just a suit, or a strange creature in a suit? If it is just a suit, why is someone wearing it? What does it protect against? What does it do?

The image I made for “trick” last year was an experiment with printed transparencies. I still haven’t mastered this technique and want to do more with it, but I’m not sure what trick I’ll use today.

Link your creations in the comments. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
