“…we should be unafraid to doubt,”<\/p>\n

— C. S. Lewis<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“What if…?”\u00a0The famous thinker’s friend;
\nFor great ideas of every kind,
\nBegin, “What if…?” and in the end,
\nCreative gemstones may be mined.<\/p>\n

Beware of doubt, the siren song!
\nIt’s poison to artistic souls
\nDon’t ever ask, “What if I’m wrong?”
\nTrust in your heart, your self, your goals.<\/p>\n

An inconsistency? Why,\u00a0no,
\nImagine freely, pretty thoughts!
\nAsk anything you please, but don’t
\nDare ever question what you’re taught.<\/p>\n

\n

Prompt: Write about doubt.
\nForm: Cross-rhymed quatrains, in iambic tetrameter<\/p>\n
