Hangover (An Acrostic)

AuburnScribbler

 

Holding on, to the life; that is left,

Agonies set in, as there is desperation; in

Negotiation, of what was so easy before, but

Giant mountains are climbed now, with

Overwhelming sounds, that pound so

Vehemently in the heads of man, little taps,

Explode, screaming advice, to put an end to

Rotten states, to reclaim the beauty, that was lost.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This acrostic poem is about the hangover, and though it's most commonly associated with the over consumption of drink, I think it can be relatable for other things too. Accompanying the poem is a piece of artwork entitled "One Mean Hangover" by Debora Lewis, which I think is a perfect visual representation. I hope that you enjoy the poem, if you are "suffering", have a couple of painkillers, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.

    Gosh what a horrendous face. I found this quite funny because it reminded me of my 'oldest swinger in town' days in my late 30's early 40's when occasionally we would party on drink and weed followed by what we called being 'wrecked' the morning after.

    My worst hangovers had me feeling that my brain was loose inside my skull and each time I moved so my brain would bash against the inside of my head... ouch! at the memory.

      Thanks for the read dusk arising, and yeah, when I saw the above picture I had to include it.

      I'm glad that the poem allowed you to go down memory lane, (well to remember what you could remember mate), sounds like a great time was had.

      Also I'm sorry that it made you remember those painful aftermaths, where, I imagine an idea such as: moderation is key, would come to you, but of course, we're all human, so such promises, aren't concrete.

      Thanks again, and I hope that all is well!

      Like you said
      It’s not a drink that can cause hangover
      Maybe a project
      Maybe a relationship
      Or maybe simply an addiction
      Can cause a hangover
      A well crafted acrostic dear poet

        Thanks for read spilleronsheet, and I'm glad that you subscribe to the fact, that a hangover, isn't just the aftermath of a "heavy night on the town", but as you've mentioned in your comment, it could be about a myriad of other things too.

        Thanks again, and I hope that all is well!

        Another fine acrostic. Scary picture!

        • AuburnScribbler

          Thanks for the read Rozina, and though as you've said, the picture is a scary one, I had to include it.

          Thanks again, and I hope that all is well!

          Good acrostic Ben, and that picture is really scary, especially when I used to see it in the mirror some mornings many, many years ago.

            Thanks for the read Andy, and like Rozina, though you've said the picture is scary, it had to be included, and I'm sure my friend, that the reflection in your mirror, wasn't as garish as the above image.

            Thanks again, and I hope that all is well!
