Edward Ibeh Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

A Woman With a Cheshire Cat Smile

An arbitrary woman on the street
          Going the opposite way. Her amber eyes
                 Meet mine as she approaches
                      Bright and penetrating

                          We smile as we ...
                Uniformly glance at each other
               No words exchanged between us
              As she walks past me, into oblivion...

     She's a beautiful woman with a giraffesque grace
              Alas! She'll forever remain a mystery 
                And we'll never cross paths again
                   Though I'll always remember...

                      Her cheshire cat smile!

L. J. Carber June 7, 2019 at 8:49 AM Well, I had a similar experience once in Singapore where I saw an unbelievably beautiful woman-- it's a kind of magic, isn't it Edward? Edward Ibeh June 7, 2019 at 3:33 PM Oh, it is indeed, L.J.!:-) I'd love to visit Singapore once in my lifetime. From what I've seen--"the most recent season of "The Bachelor" was shot there--it's a beautiful country!
