Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Bitesize Contest No.152 Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Line Gauthier. Date written: 09/06/2026

As Nike Says

Wrestling with two options without cease;
Your heart and mind at loggerheads.
Stuck between the rubicon of "Do" and "Don't!"
One flip of a coin lands erect in the dirt.
Now what? Take a chance; do as Nike says.

Alison A Smith September 7, 2026 at 4:00 AM A sharp, compact verse that captures the paralysis of indecision with wit and vivid imagery. The “rubicon” and upright coin brilliantly convey a choice suspended in impossible balance, while the Nike ending gives the poem a decisive, uplifting snap.
