A fine write Brian. I often spelt it 'Agorophobia', bit it's 'Agoraphobia' - the Roman 'Agora' open-space, market-place?
But the opposite is 'claustrophobia', not 'claustraphobia'!
I could do with knowing more words for me rhyming stuff!
SPELLING IS IMPORTANT ~ BECAUSE THE AGORA Is the Market Place in Greek ! Also with CLAUSTRO is an enclosure ~ Learning words which are opposites (like EXOTHERMIC ~ gives out heat & ENDOTHERMIC ~ takes in heat !) can be useful in a POEM etc ! Thanks BRIAN
Erm, I have a 'series' too sometime, though it's on 'Formal Funerary Prayers' (funerals). Sounds gloomy, but it's not!
Thanks STEVE ~ Celebratory Funerals can be very uplifting ! I want my Horse Drawn Hearse to be preceded by a JAZZ BAND ~ Playing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN.
Great write Brian. I love words and I'm always fascinated by the many I find as I read. This poem is so well written, like all your poems. Be blessed! Oh, please do read my latest poem. Thank you!
