A very attractive presentation. You're right on with the syllable count, and your words flow together nicely. You have an excellent thought that hope brings forth our dreams and wishes. Our hopes often give birth to splendid things. Best of luck in the contest. judi

Picturing hope as a womb is a great idea.
Do you like the Emily Dickinson poem that starts Hope is the thing with feathers...?
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

A very well-written Lune poem about the dreams and wishes we have is all nirtured in the womb of hope to be fulfilled above our expectations only possible by miracles.

I like it! I like how you used "nurtured" and the "womb of hope." We do need to take time to nurture our dreams and wishes otherwise, none will take wings.

Beautiful and true statement. You have done a beautiful job with this three liner. It is rather deep, but if I understood the meaning, others should have no problem. Excellent.

In so few syllables, you have conveyed so much. Through the use of personification and metaphor, you have given hope the character of a loving mother.

This is a great contest entry, Melissa. Good job with the syllable count per line. The picture is perfect for your words. Your words are well=chosen and give readers much to ponder. I wonder what this would look like not centered--like a crescent moon. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan
