Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Red and Blue

Sometimes hot,

   and sometimes cold.

      That's how...

         their romance goes.

            A man and his wife

               surviving

                  despite...

turbulence

   in their

      long marriage.

         Their passion,

            still more hot than cold.

               Their union, not perfect

                   but...

their love remains strong!

Timothy Hicks April 30, 2020 at 9:27 PM It's a simple message, but still a strong one. Too many people abandon ship when it's cold, maybe not realizing it's the winter months and the spring will bring with her love afresh. PS I appreciate the creativity of inventing a new form. The syllable count is certainly random but it would be an interesting challenge! Edward Ibeh April 30, 2020 at 10:22 PM I echo your sentiments, Tim:-) The form is definitely an interesting and fun challenge!
