Edward Ibeh Poet Rispetto

Notes About The Poem

Date written: 03/27/2024

Bereft

      In a roaring ocean of grief, she plunged in.
     A widow, she's a hodgepodge of emotions;
      Caged all alone in melancholy's dungeon.
Day in, day out she's going through the motions.
         Bereft, her composure is barely intact.
     In mourning; a shell fragmenting on impact.
    The loss of her spouse has left her in tatters.
   Quite feeble, a fragile glass that could shatter.

Ink Empress March 27, 2024 at 1:30 PM This is such a poignant and deeply emptive poem dead EI, i felt the loss and grief that you’ve described here so seamlessly, caged all alone in melancholy. What a profound way to describe it all! I felt this poem! And youv made this form look so easy to do too! Love it’ best wishes for the contest

Vijay Pandit March 27, 2024 at 5:18 AM That is a heavy loss to bear--emotions well conveyed, Edward--in this difficult to execute form.. Edward Ibeh March 27, 2024 at 5:24 AM Thank you very much for your comments and visit, Vijay:-)
