Pandora’s Box

 

When all you have left is hope

Locked away

In a jar

Hidden under the bed

Sucking in dust

Perhaps it was a good thing

You let go of all that hate.

Hi Nash,

Simple profundity - just so long as you don't confuse it with the chamber pot! :-)

Regards,
A.E.

Love the simplicity of this Nash. Sometimes ideas/poems are so much better for that. They hit you more.

But then you have to take the dusty old jar out from under the bed and spread all that hope about! Good clear poem - well done ;-)

Letting go of hate is always a good thing, but not always so easy to do, Lets hope this ray of light from Pandora's box spreads throughout WOL.
