where chaos meets the string of hope
and quantum dreams
choked by the hands of ticktock
bounce against the rock
unseen by searching light beams
when chaos meets the string of hope
upstream gives way to downstream
ripples out another theme
to wage against the racing clock
when chaos meets the string of hope
tangled knots of the oily scheme
lack compassion to redeem
and full blown devils mock
the better angels' knock
to tread the path of a losing team
where chaos meets the string of hope
Totally Optional Prompt this week: Repetition in Forms.

I don't normally go for rhymed poems as they sometimes seem forced. This doesn't however .... and the images are powerful and imaginative.
The conflict of opposites coming together in balance.
That's how to beat chaos.
Love the repetition and the pic too, WonderfulWords!!!
So much chaos; so little hope - but at least hope exists.
The "oily scheme," delicious little pairing of words!
not at all chaotic ;) !! quite well written !
tangled knots of the oily scheme
lack compassion to redeem
made me think:
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!" (Walter Scott, Marmion)
I like the repeating line a lot; it's meaty and one of my dreams for our world.

I read your poem and these comments, then looked out of my window at the chaos of ice and frozen trees to see two blackbirds. Everything falls into place when there is hope around.
