Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

Hope Medley

Hope forewarned
 Such was Jeremiah's call:
 Go, tell my people what I'm going to do;
 Know that they will not listen to you.

 Hope forlorn
 determining the odds on a bet:
 You choose this or that, using your brain;
 you lose sometimes, money down the drain.

 Hope shopworn
 accompanies buying a car:
 Fishing, sales huckster puts on airs;
 dishing out money later for repairs.

 Hope unborn
 Such are some relationships:
 the beauty of lovers, errant;
 the duty of becoming a parent.

Hope well-born
An Italian fishing boat
saves a victim amnesia-bound,
Jason Bourne - identity found.

Hope with a thorn
Hope deferred makes the heart sick:
You bait your prayers with a promise;
You wait on God, doubting like Thomas.
