He presses
Himself to the wall. Guesses
She won’t see him out of view —
Boo!
So surpised!
You! she yells, giggling disguised
As annoyance, but she’s not
Hot
She’s laughing!
The fun is telegraphing
A bond they share. It’s such prime
Time.
’cause sometimes
I think being scared (oft-times)
Is half the fun… More than half!
Laugh!
This is my response to this week’s W3 prompt. POW, Violet, gave us three quotes to choose from to incorporate into our poem — all having to do with “The Human Condition.” I chose a quote from Krystal Sutherland, House of Hollow: “Sometimes I think being scared is half the fun.”
I used a Celtic form called Deibide Baise Fri Toin. Syllable counts per line are 3-7-7-1. Lines 1 and 2 rhymes on 2 syllables. Lines 3 and 4 rhyme on one.

Very fun and clever take. Enjoy it
Sally, this is playful and full of energy! The rhythm and rhyme make it such a joy to read, and that last stanza ties it all together perfectly.
Much love,
David

Excellent use of the form and so playful! I went the opposite direction and mine is way too serious!!!
I think Violet challenged us to write about “The Human Condition” which IS a serious business. I just ran from the seriousness — it’s been a heavy week — and decided to go with laughter.
It can be fun, as long as we trust who or what scares us! (K)
Definitely a lighter approach to the prompts! This was fun to read.
Nice take on the prompt!
