Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Cold As Ice

cold as ice;
     frozen solid.
          her heart
               once inviting,
                    now with a locked door;
                          windows shut.
                               a heart...

stomped on by...
     brutal
          betrayal;
               reluctant
                    to welcome love back.
                         I do pray that true love
                              walks...

right in and thaws it!

                        (Yalto)

L Milton Hankins May 25, 2021 at 8:40 AM Interesting progression here, Edward. I hope, too, that "true love" will walk "right in and thaw" that heart. Edward Ibeh May 25, 2021 at 8:48 AM Thanks so much for the comment and wonderful visit, Milt:-)

Vijay Pandit May 25, 2021 at 7:54 AM True love can thaw a frozen heart. Wonderfully emotive--succinctly done in your signature form, Edward. Edward Ibeh May 25, 2021 at 8:45 AM Thank you very much, Vijay:-)

Kim Merryman May 25, 2021 at 7:49 AM I like this, Edward! I tend to fancy syllabic forms, as you've probably noticed by now. Is the formatting part of your form? Blessings, Kim M Edward Ibeh May 25, 2021 at 8:46 AM Thank you, Kim:-) You can format this form any way you want, my friend.
