Eap-Hope

The optimist sees hope:

in the springtime sunlight
and the red sky at night
by the common man's foresight
in the free speech birthright

I am not familiar with LIST, Brian but this poem I enjoyed. Hope in the red sky at night is what that old saying is all about and never thought of it that way. Inspiring literature here. I'll have to check out the contest. Thanks for your comments. -Robert
