Kai Michael Neumann Poet Acrostic

Courage Means Balls To Feather the Nest

Courage Means Balls To Feather The Nest


Curled up in misery’s orbs under the duvet

Out lost cast and below even eider downs scratching

Unbelievably lost without the slightest smell of soft caress

Reason set in auto pilot in endless loops of mental constriction

Anarchy playing hard ball with emotions curve balls straight to bulls’ eye 

Game over ‘rien ne vas plus’ just one bullet left right and centre with muzzle in sight

Ernest plucked up courage and one feather from the quilt and lived on to scribe his story

Darren White December 20, 2016 at 1:32 AM Indeed, that is courage. Crawling out of misery to pen a (last?) story. No idea if this is what you intend it to be, but I am familiar with depression, and this is how it feels to me. Kai Michael Neumann December 20, 2016 at 2:11 AM Yes Darren, I mean to pen that story AND to live that life to tell the story. I is courageous to live with depression...
