When Fear Made Me Cheer

I was wondering if my life is out of gear.
I heard a knock that was loud and clear.
"Who is at the door? Who is here?"
I heard a rough voice, "I AM FEAR!"

The answer's gravity made me feel giddy.
My eyes opened WIDE, but I wasn't READY.
I couldn't believe my ears; it was heady.
When fear visits, how can one feel steady?

Caught Red-Handed

How we love and cheer when a movie's wronged hero or heroine swears to catch the villain "red-handed" and actually manages the same! However, there's difference between reel and real life.

Perhaps an 'Angry Young Man' or 'Supergirl' can ensure the villains getting caught red-handed in real life too.

I feel if people knew that they were sure to be caught red-handed and heavily punished, then they would never attempt anything terrible. No untoward incident would have happened as no one would have dared to indulge in any wrong-activity.

Carousel

She had early childhood memories of going round in a carousel.

The pace was leisurely and she had loved the merry-go-round and waved whenever she crossed her mom.

As a young lady when she went to the newest amusement park and tried out the carousel, she didn't find it merry as she was terrified.
