Notes About The Poem

05/23/24 'PICK-A-TITLE VOL44 Edward Ibeh

Look Closely

Look Closely

Black silk top hat
Upon greasy hair sat

White gloved, quick hands
Graceful gestures, gestures grand

Speaks nonsense but mostly, 
"Watch me now,  look closely!"

Sly smile, glint in eye
"You sucker", they imply

Swift movements over here
Draw my eyes, my gaze steer

Magic moving fast and ghostly
He continues to croon, "look closely"

The ears hear but not the eyes
"Look closely", magic lies.
