Your poem on hope is well done. A very good entry for this contest. You have chosen a good picture to illustrate. Hope is what keeps us going every day, and hope in Jesus gives us confidence.

Hope is a wonderful feeling to have. It's also the first vital part of faith when it is said, faith is things hoped for. Great contest entry you've chosen and I 'Hope' it wins. Pun intended.

Hello Pookietoo,
Nice piece of poetry meeting the desired norms, having impressive phraseology, enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting its theme - Hope!
The last stanza is particularly noteworthy.
Picture enhances depth and beauty of the poem.
Superb!!

I love the uplifting message in this piece. It really delivers a powerful message. Never give up on hope or prayer. I'd like to make a tiny suggestion in line three of verse three. I'd change the 'a' to 'each.' It would then read; 'We hope to learn from EACH mistake.
It really is a quality poem.

To be without hope is like being adrift at sea without a rudder or anchor. Where will you go, what will you do? To be without hope is to be naked in Winter, what will cover or protect you? To me, hope is essential to life and to living. I do not believe that one can successfully live without it.

Dear Mystery Writer,

Of all the feelings you could write about, certainly hope is one of the best. It lifts the darkest spirits and finds a way to find a way. Every time.

This was a sweet and smart poem and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you!
