Yes! Let's stay away from the crazy world out there! I like how you put it all in a question form asking the reader to consider if this reaction is understandable.

Comment from Mastery
Patty, you are gonna have a rough time deciding which is best suited to you, because I have noticed you have style no matter what. Stick with free verse though. You can'tgo wrong in my opinion. as my teacher used to say. "That way you don't have to spend time scrounging for an impossible word just to rhyme something and you can write freely as your mind goes ...so go you. Blessings and good luck, my friend. Bob

Hi Bob; thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate your comments, and yes, I have to admit free verse is SO much easier without worrying about rhyme and meter!

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
You brought up a mental/emotional issue many people struggle with. It isn't always well known, but I've known people with it. Your short poem went straight to the heart of the issue.
Well done.

Comment from Craigitar
I appears to me that you have met the requirements of a quinzaine poem admirably.
I like the subject matter. My wife is a bit of an agoraphobic, except when it comes to going out eat. Good job with this.

Comment from Irish Rain
I really like this form, and yours is unique. I wonder sometimes if I'm not a mite agoraphobic. I could just stay home forever...I dislike going out. A great poem, blessings...

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I think all of us writers are a bit agoraphobic. I hardly ever hear of anyone that takes their writing outside. I appreciate your comments and encouragement.

I know I never do...too many books to spread out, ha ha. That's why I love the winter. I can write without feeling like I should be weeding the flower beds, ha ha.
Comment from Donya Quijote
There is much truth in these few words. I find myself that older I get the more like a bat in the belfry I become. Interesting little ditty...

The first statement is so true. And the question is a question we all ask. Why stay in the world if it is so scary. Faith tells us that it is to make the world less scary for those to come.

Well done on trying the different poetry forms. I haven't yet. This is a good Quinzaine (only found out about them a few weeks ago!) and it described agoraphobia extrememely well. My daughter suffers from it from time to time due to severe anxiety. Susan

Comment from Sis Cat
Yes, indeed, the outdoor world can be scary. This is a fine quizaine on agoraphobia. It also reflects the fears and troubles of our times. Sometimes, we feel like staying in doors. Your poem is well structured with its statement and question. Thank you for trying your hand at quinaine. I wrote on, too. It is always fun to try something new.
