Notes About The Poem

I wrote this in 1991 - not a very comfortable form for me.  Don't know where this one came from.

Hope

The flower of hope
blooms in the darkest crevice
even in winter.

Very well put and very profound, especially for the limited form. Nice. If you were a movie, I think, the tag wouldn't be "Run Forrest Run", it would be "Read Beverly Read" 80)...pat

Pat, so glad you liked this one. I wrote it a long time ago when my son and I were playing around with Haiku. Thanks. Beverly
