Excellent entry for the Haiku Poetry Contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. I like the presentation. I agree with you, universal love is our love...love is the answer.

Extra Gypsy hugs

I love the personification of hope as an emotion that gets strong enough to explore the concept of universal love. I wish you the best in your upcoming surgery.

I like the premise of this poem very much. The first and last lines are spot on. However, I feel the middle line could be strengthened by remplacing some of:
then-up-to
e.g: rises swiftly to explore (there must be better options). Kate xx

This is a well-written 5-7-5 poem. I like the message. We all need hopeful moments in this old world. I think the text would be more prominent a tad larger, bold and centered on the visual. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

To say that you have made effective use of your seventeen syllables would be an understatement. In this exceptional poem, you have used personification ot "hope" to convey a sincere message about the power of hope!
