Edward Ibeh Poet Fibonacci

Derelict

a
sad
portrait 
of neglect;
arresting garden
lovers manicured teemed with life,
lulled bees, butterflies; when their love withered on the vine,
it's beauty diminished by overgrown weeds; this abandoned garden: what might've been.

Speaks Volumes February 8, 2023 at 6:17 PM I often worry about my little garden, no one will love it after I am gone...... Edward I think you just described it, in a sadly poetic way, you capture the thought of what might have been, and more importantly you give innuendo, of what was. I cant imagine a more perfect way to depict the essence of Derelict. This will obviously do well. Edward Ibeh February 8, 2023 at 7:25 PM Thank you very much for the visit, glowing feedback and vote of confidence, Wendy:-) Most obliged.
