Sandra Haight Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Hope

Hope

Life has challenges…
Confront them each day
Some have good endings
Some can cause despair
They are always there

Our perception
Is the answer
Of how we feel
About outcomes

Do we see
Half-empty
Or half-full?

Our glass
Holds the

Hope

Isaiah Zerbst January 7, 2015 at 10:00 AM Nice job with the challenge of this form. I can see that you speak from experience. Thank you for this sound advice in a beautiful poetry form. Sandra Haight January 7, 2015 at 7:03 PM Hi Isaiah, so nice of you to stop by with your positive comment. Yes, I've always tried to be a "glass half-full" thinking person...it does help! Thanks for your visit, I really appreciate it. Sandra

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2015 at 1:41 PM great job, Sandra. I just saw another one very good but I think she did hers wrong. It was much shorter than yours so I guess she did not get the way to do the form. I really like your take on hope! Sandra Haight January 5, 2015 at 4:05 PM Thanks, Andrea! Another fun one to work on!
