Notes About The Poem

Sponsor: Sotto Poet 

Contest: Ambition, Hope 

Hoptimism

When hues of grey in disarray 
Splash and spray hefty shades astray, 
Diffuse the sun ray of the day, 
Divert happy pursuits away… 
One can’t but ponder in dismay - 
Is a dark destiny at play?! 
Hey, shades of grey aren’t long to stay, 
The light palettes of bright outweigh. 
Might sound like a passé cliche, 
But hope dies last - or so they say.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Hoptimism" write. Everyone needs hope in life. "Good Luck" I did, "What Is HOPE???" Enjoy your day writing away.................
