Edward Ibeh Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

New Beginnings

New Year rings it's bell with sheer
Ebullience as the Phoenix that is America regrows
  Wings charred off by heat of chaos and division

     Bright prospects shine again on the horizon 
         Earth, come this spring will be new and 
   Green again; the flowers of change will bloom!
      Indigo moods continue to lift, and sad eyes
  Now gleam, at long last. Hallelujah! God is good.
       Now America excitedly drums her timpani.
          It's all coming up red roses across the
    Nation, and may the roses bloom all year long!
    God, please shine your light on all of humanity
        Save us from any engulfing abyss. Amen.
