Rewrite: Hope Hope spins on the weight of reward And held by the thread of a cord The mythical hold of a hair. The fragile with rainbows declare. Meager and thin, narrow and slim Bears weight by the scant of a whim Wearied, worried wings of despair Hope is a refuge we declare. Hope a voucher of salvation A handle on depravation Cheer on the face of the future Held in the clamp of a suture. This is the bright of the light side Apathy, dark of the night side Improbable the eulogy And the wine is called lethargy. If you lean the cane of torpor Then your life will be a pauper. |

The mythical hold of a hair. The fragile with rainbows declare. ======================================= This is the bright of the light side Apathy, dark of the night side Improbable the eulogy And the wine is called lethargy. If you lean the cane of torpor Then your life will be a pauper. ================================== "The fragile with rainbows declare." only you could come up with a line, an image and thought that cool ...that deep and that profound. I mean, think about it...really take in that lines intend ...all that it encompasses, all that it conjures and holds true ....then look at the whole poems moral ....well, it blows my mothy mind. *S* Youre my King of Cool Cadence Sy-babers and me Stinkylove...and me Wizard of Winkies.    |

This is beautiful, Seymour... and so wise. *S* And it's almost enough to make me put my war on hope on hold. *G* (I've sworn to beat the little sucker into the ground if it should ever raise its fragile head around me again! LOL) |

Rhyme devine, and hope afloat, and yes, bring back "The Golden Key" - just read it and it is meant to be renewed regularly, kind of like a tuneup ~* Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people ." *~ |

How true Sy. What is life without hope? Meaningless and empty. Though, may I say, hope is only part of the battle. The other part being the quest to bring the hope to reality. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
