Edward Ibeh Poet Dizain

Notes About The Poem

Doomed To Catastrophe

Her poor broken heart now lies in rubble.
She done hooked up with another bad boy.
Ignored warning, "keep away, he's trouble!"
     The womanizer played her like a toy. 
 How funny, her name happens to be "Joy"
   Friends often wear disapproving faces,
 For she looks for love in the wrong places.
     Catastrophe dealt a withering blow; 
  Her bleeding heart leaves obvious traces.
  A relationship doomed from the word "go"

Vijay Pandit February 8, 2022 at 2:43 PM Well done Edward in this hard (for me) to execute form. You give voice to travails of broken relationships. Some are attracted to trouble makers. What glitters isn't always gold. It was doomed from the start as you so well illustrate. Edward Ibeh February 8, 2022 at 2:55 PM "Some are attracted to trouble makers"...yep, some women love bad boys, it's rather unfortunate. Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback and visit, Vijay:-)

Tom Cunningham February 8, 2022 at 2:19 PM A situation you often hear about Edward, as the saying goes, love is blind. Tom Edward Ibeh February 8, 2022 at 2:41 PM True indeed, Tom! Thanks for dropping by, my friend.
