"Hope" is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. This poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. Love, faith and hope is a gift from God.

This poem gets me thinking about how we all sometimes feel that life is not fair or too hard and that someone else out there is doing it tougher than us. Something we all should consider when feeling sorry for ourselves. Your words ring true in that we should all get off our arses and make our lives the best we can. Very well written!

You're absulutely correct, love, hope, compassion and faith are all verbs, something that one does, they are not neutral, they are living and active, they are an outward expression of what is happening on the outside, James says "Show me your deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds" James 2:18. Well done, beautifully composed, a great decriptive text, a great truth in this work, articulate in aabb rhyming, well done. Blessings, Roy

I'm not sure what you would define as 'blind hope' but hope keeps me going, it keeps me active and cheerful, but I certainly agree that getting out there and doing something for our fellow man is a good anecdote.

    Blind hope is passive while giving hope to another is active

This didactic poem made my day especially since its one of those days for me that I need to be hopeful to go on. I really like your rhymes, did you plan to use rhyme for every line before you started writing this?

Okay. Super expression of this write start, writer swing of blade precise, grip of the throat growl: then foul end. Just my opinion: not gospel.

Hope is but a word ,no more powerful than the word love. Hopeless is just a word yet many say they can feel all of them. Emotions put into verb is what makes them more. We can not make everything OK at lease get up and head that way !

Hope is there, but to what degree. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is very good imagery.
