Suddenly remember this poem I wrote for the 1 minute brawl at Boyup Brook this year - fits the bill close enough for the topic (though it was written for performance in the comp, not for written!!), so I'm cheating!! 
There isn’t Much That Scares Me…

There isn’t much that scares me but
I readily admit
There’s one thing gets me shakin’
and to fear – makes me submit.
It gives me shivers down my spine;
My heartbeat runs amok,
My stomach fills with butterflies
Until I want to chuck.
My legs become like rubber and
The sweat runs down my back,
And there is little stopping me
From racing down the track.
A pounding starts within my head
And lodges in my throat
‘til I can barely talk at all –
A cu-re seems remote.
There isn’t much that scares me but
I tell you, this is true –
There’s one thing gets me shakin’ and
That scary thing is ‘you’!! (the audience!)
