Book of poems written for the second and third years of the Promptly Poetry Challenge.

2023 Quill Nominee


Poems written for Promptly Poetry Years Two and Three. Year three is four poems short of being complete but, having reached 100, I have run out of room in this book for the last few of 2023. This overflow will be consigned to the previous collection of Promptly poems, named Promptly Poetry.

Hope

Hope springs eternal yet oft forgot,
of all our evils once released
as curses on our unhappy lot,
unholy tally of woes increased,
now freed of bonds from box Pandora,
to travel far, infecting all with sin,
ensuring that we can’t ignore her,
yet one redeeming grace was in
that box where all was stored within,
a gentle comforter remained
our faint resistance to underpin.
Its name is Hope, virtue regained.
