Edward Ibeh Poet Sapphic stanza

Notes About The Poem

Adamantine

I'm a lighthouse that has weathered violent storms;

         A tree still unfelled by the blows of an axe.

        Despite blows by life's battering ram, I am ...

                          quite adamantine.

          My faith is a chain that will never sever.

          My spirit, tantamount to a rubber band.

          Stretched, it returns to its original form.

                            It's adamantine.
