This National Poetry Month I will be posting a sequence of poems, written last year and this year, for others in a series called Giving Poetry. In this series, people request a poem using a title, specific words, concepts, or ideas. After writing the poem, I send it to them, posting it on Facebook and on my blog. This is Giving Poetry.
A wing, a prayer, and hope.
Hope: for Linda
Hope sprouts wings,
she flies and she sings,
a prayer for tomorrow
the removal of all sorrow.
“Hope springs eternal,”
so the saying goes.
It’s because hope knows.
so the saying goes.
It’s because hope knows.
