Four Letter Phobia Poem by Gerard Quain

Four Letter Phobia



Four letter phobia
The end of my utopia
Dreams dashed upon the rocks
But I can't use that word
Word's too easily used make no sense to me
Unless you want to take advantage and abuse
Assault someone's dignity
Take a heart and add it to your collection
But I have no need of blood
Four letter phobia
The end of my utopia
Another star falls from the sky
But I still can't use the word
And I don't know why
If I whisper love
Will it be less of lie

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
It is about fear of commitment, and words to easily said
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Wes Vogler 07 August 2016

I take this to be the habit of observing signs and breaking them into groups of four letters until they come out evenly. Sometimes on a page of print. My solution to this ultimately was to imagine everything multiplied by four which was an instant solution.
