Challenge
Hope
I was a published author, but my publishing house refused to pay me any of my earned money and tricked me in many ways, which really discouraged me from writing. I recently acquired the rights to my book back and I'm hoping to re-publish it sometime in the future. I started an Instagram page for my writings (feel free to check it out if you're interested (https://www.instagram.com/tima.aladdin/) and I'm trying to be hopeful about the future. In the spirit of hope, I wanted to create this challenge. Send me anything about hope: a short story, a poem, a quote (must be yours), or a sentence, anything at all. I can't wait to read your work and be inspired! The person with the words that touch me the most wins.

Hope
Much I marvelled the thankful look,
While I pondered, thinking, and shook.
My mind always strays to eyes,
The ones that can’t tell lies.
I remember I was coming.
All my soul within me crumbling.
And so you come, gently clanging.
Distinctly I was awaiting.
By the grave, I saw the eyelids.
I made my bids.
Greeting and greeting with my skull,
The sky seems dull.
But in the fact that it was dripping,
Back into my memories assessing.
By my grave, I saw the carnations.
Quoth the envy, “Mind the impatiens.”
And your eyes have all the concerning,
While I pondered, facing, and free burning.
If by chance, my world bends.
If by chance, my would ends.
You can cope,
I have hope.
