The Manic-Depressive's Alphabet (Poetry)
25th March 2009
A begins Apathy — Aimless Again
B’s for Bamboozle — to Baffle the Brain
C is for Crazy — Confused with no Clue
what D for Depression so Desperate can Do.
E’s for Exhaustion — Emotions Expired
F’s for Frenetic — Fierce Feelings all Fired
G begins Gloomy, H the Huge Hoax
I’s for Illusion, while J’s Just a Joke.
K is for Knowledge once Keen as a Knife
L is for Loser — a Lacklustre Life
M stands for Madness — the Monster Mundane
N is for Nightmare — the Nag with No Name.
O is for Obstacle — Odd and Obscure
P is for Pressure when Panic runs Pure
Q begins Question, R’s Right for Rage
S starts off Stressful — unSettles each Stage.
T is for Tension Too Twisted To Tell
U is for Useless — Unsteady — Unwell
V started Vaguely and Vacant, then Veered
W’s Wretched, and Worthless, and Weird.
X is part Xenophobe, Y could be You
and Z is for Zombie in some freaky Zoo
where twenty six symbols in darkness beget
a grim set of words for the mind’s alphabet.
