BONELESS
COURAGE POEMS
1
The only place where courage
resides ramrod straight
is in the backbone.
2
Just because it lacks bone,
courage still walks
softly into blazing fire.
3
A wise man once said
“A boneless courage” means
“a spongy bravado.”
4
The spineless talk the talk.
When it comes to action
they wiggle cold toes.
5
The meat of it all
demands the lionhearted,
not the jellyfish.

I love "wiggle cold toes" especially. What an image!
