Hope is…
something I always write about.
In fact, in a quick search, I used hope in
three poems in the last 24 hours: here and here and here
(And seven times the last time I did a Poetry Marathon.
And, on my blog, don’t get me counting. I seem to include
Hope more than anything else.) Hope is here,
the perfect little handful of a word.
A perfect world-full remedy to heal our brokenness.
If we lose hope, we’ll fall out of the sky,
plucked like Emily’s thing without feathers.
Let’s keep hope.
(And we made it, we’ve Poetry Marathoned to the end!)
I love the phrase: ‘ A perfect world-full remedy’
The whole poem begins like dialogue then draws you in, to discuss the bigger picture. Nice!
I think we all write about hope, even though sometimes we don’t intend to. Love this! Well done.
Feel free to review my poems too. Thanks!
This really struck a chord with me. My poetry tends to the dark, so this has inspired me to seek the light in my work. Thanks!
I also love the concept of hope. This poem spoke to me…very hopeful 🙂 “Perfect little handful of a word”–like you can hold on to it.
Wow!!! And to think you did this at hour 24 – amazing!! I love this line: ‘A perfect world-full remedy to heal our brokenness.’ (So necessary and so poignant)… and I love how you used the the Emily Dickinson reference! Brilliant!
A suitable close to the marathon. Well done!
Oh this poem is so clever and delightful! Love the links (just bookmarked your blog so I can come back and explore it later). I can’t believe you had the brain power to accomplish this in Hour 24. Wow, amazing! 🙂
