Hope is like water

Hope seeps,
it wastes,
it dribbles;
hope always slips though our fingers
no matter how hard we try
to keep it,
how much we try to horde it-
hope is ephemeral,
hope is crips and clear
and desperately beaufitul;
it can never be handed out
like cheap trinkets.
Hope is fluid, is ebullient,
hope is like water
and sometimes
it is our tears
that make it as large as an ocean
ready for us
to take another journey
across its treacherous waters.

hmmmm is it?

or is the inability to recognize hope's finite capacity hopelessness?

By the way in a totally general off topic sort of way, @#$%&! this forum has been fun today!

Nothing wrong with angst so long as it stays within certain boundaries.

Oh and BV you woose!

Should be safe here, BV will never read a poem

I never understand your poetry Dannyboy, but I find hope is finite, and then infinite depending on your point of view and stage of the season you find yourself in.

By Round 18 I was in shock. False hopes, players out of position, players out of confidence, very few highlights coming through in say Waite, Fish, Simmo and AB.

round 19 I was very happy to leave the country and forget about footy. That sounds abit dramatic but in my line of work, surprisingly, I devote a lot of time to articles and many just get binned for lack of interest (mine, thanks very much!)

Mid October and it starts to turn for me. say goodbye to those I knew wouldn't last, welcome a new player or two with realistically as much hope as those I've just said goodbye to, and then the promise of a new star coming through. I'm so excited about not only being rid of draft penalties but having 3 top 20 choices. Bugger Hawk fans, we have 3 well before Hartlett of last year, and it's exciting. these guys will wear the numbers that kids in the street will aspire to wear. Now that is exciting.

Come end of October and I'm really looking forward to pre season training, to the draft, heck, I've written about 6 articles in the last week and only 1 or 2 will ever make it on to the site.

At the moment, hope is infinite. Well, until today's anti-Club posts, but that will wash away. Blues for finals in 2010?

Blues for finals 2008!

Ok Hope is like water...based on that observation the Carlton football club are suffering a drought...

There was a guy who could turn hope into wine, however it caused a lot of problems when people reached the end of the bottle.

I think this thread should be deleted
