Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Contagion

amazing
     how quick joy spreads
           it casts 
               so wide a net
                    much like a virus.

starting with 
     a host, 
          it spreads out;
               wildfire 
                    engulfing...
 
all that it 
     captures here and there.
          a wondrous contagion!
               joy...
                    makes the world go round!
