Reserata Carcerem Xxi

hope ain't a pored plague - sassy spell:
gaunt gullible on craving etched
tamed time trailing hampered boul'vard
felon fate fostering farts

hope is not a pruned parable:
smothered syllables, numbed nimble
sumptuous sway, damp denotation,
throbbing theme, fallible fusion

hope is everything but folly:
lanky laziness, marred merry
hibernated will, wanky wish
dark dribbles, cursed confetti drips

hope ain't the offshoot of ling'ring
it's effort's wait on victory.

Note: of hampered hope.
