Ibeh

For the most part, I'm a romantic poet, but I also venture into satire, humor, nature, spirituality, existentialism, etc. I don't shy away from the sad and dark themes as well. I started writing poetry in November 2006. However, after losing my poetry notebook with about 135 poems in early 2009, I lost my passion for poetry completely. I was jobless for almost a year due to the recession of 2014, during that time period, I reignited my passion for poetry to stave off boredom. I discovered Poetrysoup and started posting my poems in 2016. The first poem I posted, "Wings of A Butterfly." My poems "Sing To Me, Nightingale", "Unfulfilled Dream" and "A Waxing Crescent" appeared in the first issue of Poesis Online Journal. My biography and poem "Musings of An Aging Man" features in the "My Poet Friends" section of Emile Pinet's poetry book, "A Match In The Dark." My poems "Say You Will," "Winds of Night," and "Echo Chasing" appeared in the "PS: It's Poetry" Anthology." My poems "Apogee of Grief", "To Be Loved" and "Sweet on You" appeared in the "PS: It's Still Poetry, Volume 2" Anthology." My poems "Ambling Through The Meadow" and "Depression" appeared in the "Reflections on the Important Things" anthology.

I'm currently working as a Lot Associate at The Home Depot.

I'm a Navy Veteran.

I'm Nigerian-American born in Lima, Ohio in October 28th, 1976.

I grew up mostly in Baltimore, Maryland.

I'm married to a wonderful woman(and Registered Nurse!), Helen.

I have a baby daughter named Isabelle.

Graduated from Lake Clifton Campus(formerly Lake Clifton Eastern High School), Baltimore, Maryland in 1995.
Graduated from Essex Community College in 2003 and Brightwood College(formerly TESST College of Technology) in 2005.
Certifications: Electronics Technology, Telecommunications, Fiber-Optics/Copper Network Cabling.

Just became a Dad to a baby girl...

Blog Posted:6/15/2023 5:34:00 PM

Greetings, soupers!

My baby girl is finally here:-) She came into this world at 5:18 pm, weighing in at 7lbs, 8 ounces. Praise God!

Here's an Acrostic poem I wrote for her titled, "Isabelle."

Iridescently glowing

She's a breathtaking beauty.

A tiny miracle of a baby.

Born a tad late; a blessing!

Enriching in an instant

Lives she touches; a light!

Lovely and special girl in

Every conceivable way!

Hi, Edward! Congratulations, to you and the baby's mom on your newborn, Isabelle, for being a new chapter to embark on.

Congratulations Edward. Our daughter, too, is called Isabel - just a different spelling but I believe the name means "God is my oath" (I have to admit I didn't know that when she was named) :) I'm looking forward to your poems about her. Cheers - Gary

Edward Ibeh
Date: 6/16/2023 4:59:00 AM
