Triplet- Lingering Hope Poem by Valsa George

Your triplet is true in case of many rotten things but again there are certain things that go beyond a come back. Even before redemption infect so many other things that are not rotten.

Valsa I'm going to play a literary detective role toward your poem. The first line is Hamlet in HAMLET. There are four texts of HAMLET: one is worthless (dump it) , two of them are complete and agree mostly - those are the acting texts. That leaves one abridged version that has lines that do not appear in the other three, which makes it problematical. Can we trust that Shakespeare wrote those lines. Well, it's an open question. But in one of those disputed passages Hamlet says quite clearly why he needs to kill Claudius immediately. He tells Horatio Claudius has already seduced and corrupted his mother; before he can corrupt anyone else, he must killed. It's cold blooded and not at all attractive, B-U-T resolves the issue of Hamlet's delay. He wasn't delaying at all. He was waiting for the right moment to strike. That's what the first commenter says without all the textual baggage I can bring to the issue. So from that particular HAMLET perspective there's no lingering hope. Sorry. ***** Wait, just one second, you literary junkie, that's not Valsa's message at all. She's not writing a review HAMLET - She's stating a moral position that we should always retain hope that goodness will prevail, never to give up our belief that the good and merciful are stronger than the bad and cruel. Got it, you intellectual snob! *****oh, yeah, I thought this was a graduate Shakespeare seminar. I must have the wrong room. Sorry.*****ummph! Literature addict!

A triplet with a deep meaning starting from a famous quotation. All is not lost. Things can be put in order still. Beautiful conclusion. Thank you.

Heaven will direct everything. Don't lose hope. This poem which made Mr. Brick research had me too baffled initially. With Hamlet and Shakespeare, it is all clear. Now, I am inebriate like the whole of Denmark (with poesy of course) . Good one. (10)

Be it Denmark, India, Saudi Arabia or any other country. If one can hope for an oasis, the desert itself would seem a lot pleasanter.

Great write......thank u, dear poetess. anjandev roy.

Poems of but a few lines are nothing if not subtle in telling much more than those few lines. This triplet is an example of what i mean. Simply brilliant.

Let our hope linger for redemption and return

None has been distanced beyond a come back. You have definitely said the right thing here. Turn after turn we keep hope in life. In a cyclic path we meet more. This is an amazing poem and this is perceptional. Revisiting this values more.

The first time I read the poem, I thought to myself: why Denmark? I went to read it again and the inverted commas around the first verse told me so much more about the poem. The poem is about hope. No matter how many people condemn a state or a tribe, the hope lingers that all will end well. And there is a small fire within my soul that knows that in the not so far future, the whole world, no matter how many people are condemning it now, will get better, and friendlier and kinder and sweeter and nicer. Lovely, thought provoking poem, Valsa. I am so happy, I gave it a second reading.
