Edward Ibeh Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

I Form - Imagism Poetry Contest. Sponsored by Constance La France. Date written: 09/25/2024

Uh Oh

in the fury of battle...

a dragon
          draws back
her long, serpentine neck

revealing
          terrifying d  a  g  g  e  r  s
in her powerful jaws

-with direct aim at target -

then, forcefully...
          lunges neck
like a thrown javelin spear

expecting
          p  r  o  j  e  c  t  i  l  e vomit of
engulfing fire geyser;

only coughs up
a slender thread of...
smoke.
