My dear friend ESuivrai and I would like to read some hopeful poetry. Dearest ESuivrai is new to Allpoetry and would like to see the lighter side of your creative minds.
We are looking for a snapshot of hope - whether it be delicate or decadent.
No longer than 50 lines please.
No noisy backgrounds, we'd like to be able to read the poem.
Be creative, peaceful and happy
Have fun,
E & E

Ecstasy and Elation! you two are a perfect match! i don't know whose who...(sorry, i couldn't pass it up ) -
I posted this one for another contest awhile back and included a lot of "hope" quotations in my author's notes, should you care to peruse. Thanks for hosting this contest and best of luck with the judging. Good luck, one and all. Be well, Poets and Scribes. Hope will always be there, even if we cannot seem to see it hovering beside us.
