What a beautiful treasure trove of hopeful images from your "halcyon' house of hope - a haven, "healing halo," "heart." Your beautiful words flesh out hope's personality and ability to lead us into a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your vision. It is as enchanting as hope itself. Blessings to you!

You have weaved magic with 'H' words Hiya, most of which are not quite known to me . As you believe, hope brightens life, it is healing and draws people to it as many are drawn to a sandy beach to sprawl in sunshine! Perfect !

Hope you’ve defined so well here in your H pleiades. Lol did i spell the form correctly? Ah a new form definitely but yours sound fitting for the theme you’ve gone for . I absolutely love the line “ harlqeuin harbinger” “ healing halo love hued” hope is like a healing halo definitely, to move on in lif and to grow. But at this point i feel like hope is a manipulative liar, i dont want to hope but just live in the moment and go with the flow although hope is beautiful . I still have faith that everything happens for a reason and theres no need for wishful thinking. how cute H letter goes with your name too. Is that meaning of your name?

Your H words shine in depth of intellect, Hiya. Every line an inspiration to hope--splendid alliteration as well. Power of your words on display!

I adore your Pleiades poem, Hiya, particularly the enchanting 'H' charm that illuminates it so gracefully! Your choice of perspective to convey the exploration of extensive imagery and interpretations is truly unique. BOL in the contest

Hi Hiya, glad to see so many new faces in Soup and a warm welcome to Soup. Thank you for your visit and comment on my poem. This is an interesting read, you are very creative. Specially loved the idea of 'heart of seven sisters' and the last line ....so lovely. It's been a very long time since I've written a Pleiades, should try one. Hugs... ~ Ani
