It is really much easier to form the imagery of love and peace through the angelic, but you really succeed in making us feel the "hope" and peace through the evil. Which is the hardest way!
You did it! This poem reminded me of Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
Good Luck

I don't think there's anything wrong with the first line. I do think proclaim her name would be interesting in the last line. Otherwise, this is fabulous, as usual.

Thanks Oirdheirc Mor... you have a valid point about the first line. It would probably work with either "onto" or "upon" (sorry, I am a Libran; terrible at decisions). It could be "onto" if she was standing over the box reaching down to it, or "upon" if she was looking up at the box, if it was on a shelf and she had to reach up to it. We will never know for sure....

Hi Sara.
Sorry to be the lone dissenter on your poem, I did not think the first line of this poem was so very clever.
Personally I think� upon �the lid was more appropriate. Upon meaning up and onto towards.
Gives a different meaning to the movement of the hands.
Tatty by for now.

Oh Sara, how utterly divine!

That last verse cut my breath off!

Well, you know what to do, eh? Submit this and pic for pub in the Winter 2004 issue of SP. It's a clincher!

Bye for now,

Hi Sweetie,
You don't know the joke about hope disappearing over the horizon with its arse on fire then?
's funny but I was playing around with Pandora ideas just last week. Must be the way things are in the world.
Loved this one.
