Kai Michael Neumann Poet Acrostic

Spring In Isfahan

S pring in her steps she wanders in wonder

R ecoils in amazement retraces the year

I gnites the haven the Persians call ‘bunder’

N o regrets but resilience beyond graffiti of fear

G ive me hope she exclaims I will not go under


I n the semi desert one forgotten Iris blooms

S urpassing the ruins and shackles of tombs


C risp early morning she takes shelter in beauty

O h Allah protect me while my husband is gone

M y children are hungry for them it’s my duty

I nstil all the love past seasons have foregone

N ever give up the new summer comes closer

G ive praise to beginnings a flower’s composer


S pring might well bring all the Peace we deserve

O n this day with the spring and lonely florescence

O bituaries settled and truce's armistice observed

N o winter shall break her so true to her essence

Phil Capitano March 30, 2017 at 4:00 AM Very good Kai, winter shall not break us even in the high north land. Kai Michael Neumann March 30, 2017 at 6:08 AM Thanks Phil. Spring in Canada must be beautiful. I visited last summer and am taken by the 'normality' (coming from Zuma's South Africa). The little glimpse I had, is wonderful. And then the country of Leonhard Cohen (RIP)...Many wishes, Kai
