“Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man”
~ Pliny the Elder
Early Bird
Happy bird sings
Caught a worm and golden sun
Hopes blossomed

Here’s some more:
Give It All
Flowers sing and die
Unheard, their beck and call
‘Give it all’

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”
~~Desmond Tutu
Wishful Thinking
We always see the bright side
We’re keeping our hopes alive
That the day will never come
When birds stop singing
When flowers forget to bloom
As the earth burns down
As we bring on our doom

I wrote the above haiku and the short poem for two challenges.
Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge 106 hosted by Ronovan Writes. The two words for this week were Flower & Sing.
Also for Writer’s Quote Wednesday Weekly Challenge hosted by Colleen of The Silver Threading. This week’s theme was: Hope
Hope you enjoyed my poems!
Wow! Both pieces of poetry were outstanding. I think as humans we need hope! Without it we are all lost! ❤
