Let Hope Survive
A poem about how life will be24 total reviews
Comment from Mark D. R.
Sandra,
I took your advice to check out your portfolio. Of course, the longer ones may get a read from me but rarely a review. I have no real poetry skill set to comment on your prose.
Of course, 20 syllable poems are a length fitted more to my style.(-;
I would have used quench instead of drown your hope to rhyme of sorts with drenching deluge (I do like alliteration in my poems !).
Mark
P.S. I am not a fan of cutesy fonts. IMHO script-like ones are difficult to read. Other FanStorians may or may not agree with me. I prefer KISS for my text choices.

These short poems are tough to write, but I really like this one. You stay with one theme and remind the reader that we have the power over our decisions and lives.
Like the active image of lightning.
Good luck with this contest.

I like the picture that you have chosen for your poem, and your admonition to never lose hope. Hope is what keeps us going, knowing that no matter how bad the storm, morning will come

Ms. Gypsy,
Thank you for your kind comments. Blue is my favorite color too. I have a royal blue kitchen, dining room and study. The study has a large peacock rug. Lol I am flamboyant here but more flamboyant in my private space. LOL Thanks for your review!
-
I would love to have a royal blue house (*<>*) hehehe ... all the rooms!
sounds wonderful
-
Not all but 4 rooms and the basement family room. LOL I live alone so I can do what I like. LOL
Have a blessed weekend my Gypsy friend!

Thank God I've never lost hope, even when I was betrayed, I was downcast, but knew the sun would dawn. When one loses hope, he loses his inheritance, so good advice dear friend, well done, blessings Roy
