POEM STARTER
Submitted by delilah
When all hope fails, what do we rely on?
Write a poem or story on what we turn to when we lose hope. Think about the emotions and problems that occur when this happens, and how it's dealt with.
That Hope
The heart screeched
Body forlorn
Piercing feelings
Doleful emotions
I was drowning
Legs chained
Hands tied
Nose masked
Eyes glued
I wept
Silently
Slowly dying
Heart stoned
The disease of
Yearning expectations
There was an ear
But hail to perfidy
I swallowed
The introverted power
I looked above
A creation imperial
The sun
During the day
The moon
The stars
At night
Balanced
And timed
A beautiful sight
To the wise
I wiped the tears
My heart harmonious
My body vivacious
My eyes lustrous
That’s where every hope lies.
