The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: signs of hope.

Or a lack thereof, as the case may be.

  1. Signs of hope seems very appropriate for Easter Sunday, and I hope that you don't need such signs -- I'm assuming that Baba Yaga hasn't turned up to steal children and give a whole new meaning to Easter for the world :)

    Signs of hope
    The final groan either portends death or is the sigh
    Of a giant stretching after hibernation.
    The ghost town has drowned beneath this sunset sky
    But the ship, upright, moves with hope and with the current.

  2. Greg - I don't recall exactly what inspired the prompt, but I like that it suits the weekend. And the holiday, as it still stands.

    Well... things might be looking up for your narrator? Maybe? At least they're not drowned yet.
