Good poem; I wish you had used bigger font though and maybe italicized words. :P Or you could bold it.
Don't ever stop living, or as my illustrator says 'don't stop believing' (he got that from Journey). :D

Completely agree. I, uh, usually, do not pay enough attention to fonts, italicised, etc. I think you are right. Thank you.
Comment from Pantygynt
I had a chest of drawers like that once. A right nuisance it was too. When it was closed you couldn't get it open and when opened you couldn't get it shut. One senses an underlying anger in this poem addressed to no one in particular, to life in general perhaps.

I'm going to go out on limb here and say that someone has loosened him or herself from the tedious grip of another @nd is ready to burst forth unto the world at large. It could be spring cleaning I guess.

Hope is not for youth
Hello!
The young-
No prisons
No age to ponder
No self-imposed
No paths too long
No turns forbidden
Either
You've got that right! I love the urgency in your poem- call it the rebel spirit, if you will, but just because one ages doesn't mean one needs to stop living. Love the tone and message of your poem.

Thank you my dear. Please stop by often.
Comment from dragonpoet
You are right kids don't need hope. The world is theirs now and forever. We need hope as we go into the world after school and beyond. It is sometimes fun to reminisce. I hope that call ended up finding a new friend or connecting with an old one. A few people life in the same house all their lives.
Keep writing

"Hope blooms when age does". I'm still waiting. I enjoyed this a great deal, it's so true and simply put. I am not a technical person so I found no issues. It brings up a few really good points and I read it twice.

I really like this one Victor, particularly with pairing the hope chest dresser with a few things askew. It's real, it's gritty and yes, it is the rebel in you. Keep on living and keep on writing my friend.

I really enjoyed the bluntness of this poem. I loved your line, "Hope blossoms when age does"!
I am a fairly new writer, and I admire how your poem flows very well together. Hopefully someday my writing will as well!

A great reminder to anyone feeling discouraged and worn. Life really is what we make it, regardless of our age. I like the line, I danced a bit and kicked some shit. I am leaving a life in Africa after 21 years and returning to Canada. I welcome this new wind of change. Cheers, j

Hi Victor. Nice to see you posting again. This is expressive, unique and well voiced. I enjoyed the swift pacing with shorter lines in fine fluid free verse flow.
Hope blooms
When age does
Potent AHA.
Bravo
Warmly, rd

Hi my Rama Bahama Momma. I actually reviewed one of yours too. Can you believe it? Probably means an early death knell for me. Remember, reach out and help me in the after life. I may very well need it. Smile. Doug

Thanks for your fun reply, dear Doug. I've not read my reviews yet...will do so tomorrow. (late here now!)
Good night! Smiles, rd
