Hope Is a Grasshopper
A tiny poem
Published in

Hidden in the grass
until suddenly startled
springloaded leap of faith
careening through sky
no landing in mind
unfettered, daffy, disorderly
nature’s whimsical clown
laughably preposterous
irredeemably inevitable
delicate but durable
wilful & unbroken
ebullient, buoyant, verdant
insignificant, perhaps?
but there is unexpected strength
in numbers
abrupt revelation
just when you thought
you were lost
Danielle Loewen enjoyed playing with her words long before she heard of Scrabble. You can read more of her poetry here.
