I was set;
had the flyer marked,
which events and where,
all within walking distance once parked.
I’d set my alarm,
then canceled one minute early,
overwhelmed by baseless fears
I thought I’d set aside.
Setting my sights on next year,
fifth year running.
dVerse Quadrille #89 – Are you set? The challenge: write a poem of exactly 44 words, and use the word “set” within the poem.
What Rhymes with Stanza? 
May it not fail at the next annual festival.

…and we’re left to ponder the baseless fears. At any rate, may they vaporize, never to return!

Maybe, next year you will conquer your fears. I think sometimes we think we are “set” but, in reality we are not. I’ve been there before and cancelled.

It’s a challenge at times, that’s for sure.

You’ve just described my M.O. It can help if you ask a friend to go, then you’re committed and don’t want to disappoint them. Friends can take the edge of anxiety. I’m sorry you missed your annual fall festival again 😦
