Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Unforgiving

Unforgiving
           like unceasing wildfires
             raging out of control.
                   Unforgiving
         like a ferocious avalanche
     engulfing everything in its path.
                   Unforgiving
         like a wind-blown blizzard
           in bone-chilling winter.
            She turns a deaf ear
               to his entreaties
                for forgiveness.
                The death knell
                  has sounded
                 on their union.
                     Wronged
                     just once;
               once was enough.
