Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Hiraeth

I yearn for

    that welcoming

       haven

          I wish I could

             revisit once more!

                      in this house

                         of mirth.

                           This was my...

                                'Twas mine just as much!

                                     Alas, he left this world

                                         and...

                                            so did my haven...
