Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Anger

this
              poison 
               called 
               anger 
           eats away 
               at the 
                soul;
               if left
          simmering 
      in the cauldron
       of one's heart.
             to calm... 
               down,
         just breathe,
          count to 10,
             and do...
                this
               every 
               time.
