The Coward Poem by Aliyu Nabulsi

The Coward



Appear she did more of a snub,
Amidst the lads doubtless the hub,
Around I flaunder, avoiding a flub,
Applauding truly gift of the gab,
Branded was I only a coward!

My blood freezes seeing that face,
Mesmerised by such awesome parlance,
'Miss' mutate to 'Mrs' at once?
Mirage indeed, yet grow apace,
Branded was I only a coward!

Fearful of fatuous collision,
Forced awaiting for intermission,
Frivolous though palatable option,
Fully engulfed by hallucination,
Branded was I only a coward!

'Try to be a man',
She once recommended,
Fiesty a fella, so she suggested,
Romantic interlude soon exploded,
Never you be such a coward! ! !
