Short High Hopes Poems

We go to bed 
with high hopes
The electricity will
resume in the morning.
Voila!
Magic....

In a given pace
Dismail  of rounds
Sounds of ordinary
Act as eagle as bourne
Join  the pot in dreams
Flourish to all  to shine
Live of  short coming
High hopes  all come back...

Rush to my house I have kumquats, you said
They're ripe, moist and sweet, I'm right here in bed
An eager beaver, I raced
But my high hopes were misplaced
Your spouse was eating your kumquat instead...

Up the hill the cricket goes.
The ant queen, a helmet she bestows.
A stick as sword, a pebble as shield.
Leading a swarm over the field.

High hopes, ambitious pride.
Too bad, the little cricket died....

Poof!
Disintegrated
Shattered expectations
Should have known
The clues were there
High hopes
All up in smoke
Exploding in thin air
Powder puff dreams

Quatrain #588:
DAWN


Dreams do come true in the dawn light,
Art draws on cue that poignant sight;
Wise worth frees you to groom high hopes,
Note joy now due in fleeting flight.

married,
always
	we share
our joys,
pratfalls,
the bills,
income,
our home,
two cars,
cooked meals,
mixed drinks
one bed,
the bath,
high hopes,
children,
a hug
or kiss,
your smile,
my frown:
deep love
	we share,
our lives
are one....

If our high hopes
and a rainbow’s slopes
collide,
wide scopes of kaleidoscopes
raining
bold, forgotten designs
upon old, cotton twines
we’re staining
still bind the gentle mind,
after all this while, to
tie-dye’s sentimental style.

You have high hopes
For your kids
To grow up and
"Learn the ropes."

Then they grow 
And soon you know
If this kid is
Gonna go.

Go to the moon,
Go far and soon
Their dreams take
Flight and soar.

They roar like lions,
Soar like eagles
To treetops....

Judicious juggler joker

Love is what makes the world go round
One needs love more than they need
Vain lies, high hopes or dreams. 
Each heart craves more than
Words in a vow
It wants to
Not feel
Sad.

I'm not certain of anything,but the moon ,

I'm not sure of  anyone but the night sky ,it goes dark like a dream ,

I cant trust ,but i do believe in the earth ,its long winters,

and endless summers.High hopes ,of tomorrow ,

I am weary of men ,but i do love the stars....

Today, I saw a movie.
It spoke of life in the now, of love
and people glory - just a simple story.
Non to boring with high hopes for
human beings and nature stirring.
One may ask when over,
did it reach the masses and how,
it makes the passes of time....

BEAUTY 

Blessed with the power to make someone or something fall with awe
Everlasting love, talent, or looks
Ability to be one or be all in a hidden hope
Up and away to high hopes and rising spirits
To one's self or to all always giving and believing
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTY...

Walk on
let the robes brush your legs
let your hair brush your shoulders
and walk tall
for you are woman in the world 
released now
from school rules 
do not let another govern what you
do or say
be your own woman
a lifelong task requiring defense 
strong arms
high hopes
and
tequila...

Judges get a lot of credit
with the aid of a prompt
they offer motivation
they provide inspiration
and reward dedication

Contestants rush in
to show off their skills
when offered points
high hopes for honors 
of a podium finish

Soul singed and burnt nerves,
Beer batter and deep fry hopes.

Deluge of sorrows, flood of fears
Wipe those tears, have dry hopes.

Walk through the shadow of doubt
Climb a mountain, touch the sky hopes.

You stomp on my dreams,
But you won’t crush my hopes.

The sky won’t fall today,
Held up by so many high hopes...

I walked these halls in my prime
Now I'm scrubbing them for a dime
I had high hopes and big dreams
Until I came apart at the seams
Lifes strange the way it makes people change
I feel like it's pushed my dreams out of range
I experienced love and friendships in between these walls
Now only the memory of them calls
As I walk these halls...

Disappointment my ointment for all your high hopes. These slopes of constant, let downs. My, failure constant . My , sins ,my sorrows, my vage tommorows. Reflecting shadows full of doubt. You , say the fault is mine, let's rewind to the expectations  you once placed. Fault is mine, but i was taught by you.  Rehab to my life style developed by you....
