Edward Ibeh Poet Rhyme

Zigzag Road

The road to true love couldn't be more crooked.
          It's tough to navigate. 
      The forks do get rough and wicked;
                    They're never straight.

Some are hit with tsunami of heartbreak 
          And pain along the way, 
      Yet try again despite the ache 
                    Without delay.

Is the zigzag journey to love worth it? 
          You bet your life it is!
       If it's love that you seek, don't quit!
                    Risk it, gee-whiz...
