Greetings and welcome to writing.com! Hope is a theme oft spoken of in poetry. One quickly thinks of Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers,” that famously uses the metaphor of a bird to describe how hope feels. You have chosen to illustrate the elusive nature of hope with the classic metaphor of light shining in the darkness. This simple and memorable theme is well used. The words are chosen carefully, and the rhymes are sensible without being overly trite. I would ask why you have chosen the genre of “Fanfiction” for this item; fan fiction is a highly specific category of writing which uses characters and settings of someone else’s work. Perhaps “Emotional” and “Philosophical” would be better. It’s always recommended to select three relevant genres to ensure you have as many opportunities as possible to qualify for a Quill Award. A poem of this type would perhaps look its best with centered text. I always recommend size 4 Verdana font to ensure readability across devices. You may also enjoy experimenting with different font colors to enhance the theme and look more engaging. Also, it’s always good to develop the habit of adding a line count to your poetry items here in case you would like to enter a contest later on. Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
