Hope

Hope Reverberates and resonates in all of life’s quests; Showing – illuminating - a path unexplored; Gracious companion, colleague and guest; Sent in a new light - in darkness implored; Troubles and toils given their rest; Sunlight and sight tint optimism restored Date: 4/20/20 Contest: Bite Size poem #35 Sponsor: Line Gauthier

You already know how much I love poems about hope, Sam, thank you for this! Especially enjoyed "Sunlight and sight tints optimism restored." I like the way you used alliteration at the beginning of each line. Also how you use the title to frame what the poem is about, even though it never mentions the word hope. Makes me smile.

Thank you dear friend! Alliteration was fun! I was hoping - haha - that the poem would make sense without the mention of the theme except in the title. Affirmation most appreciated! Smiles are good - blessings!

Panagiota, I am with you. I get so frustrated with a constant stream of doom and gloom from our media. So important to stay hopeful - especially for our families who are the hope for the future! Many blessings to you!
