Seek the Light

I only tell of sunny hours. "You are quite strange," I hear you say. “Why would you choose to use your powers in this unrealistic way?” I say, “Though dark exists, my frame of mind directs me to the light, for Optimism is my name, and good is foremost in my sight.” January 30, 2019, entered in Julia Ward's Sundial Wisdom Poetry Contest February 2019 PLACED THIRD in Carolyn Devonshire's Hope Poetry Contest

This is clever and unique, Janice. I love the way you employed personification to explain feelings of hope. Congratulations on your win. There were many wonderful entries to this contest and nearly all of them were difficult to rank. Best wishes, Carolyn
