A Foul Four-Letter Word; HOPE

by Emily Dickinson and others in Figures of Speech

A swirl of emotions and mixed metaphors question the utility of it all, this aesthetic of prejudicial arrangement exists without compromise, promise, or otherwise. Hope is a foul four-letter word, I prefer hopium and the addictions in the face of limited liberty. 

For What Reason?

by Pythagoras and others in Figures of Speech
