Poem
" . . . I experience the ultimate thrill. When all the noises around me are still." Quote by _L Milton Hankins (1941-2022) In memory of Milt who loved the Pantoum form. ___________________ I have been writing stories and poems since a young girl, writing about my cats, teddy bears, my dolls and flowers; love making my words fly and swirl, and twirl, whirl and unfurl, in my cozy attic room- I could write my words for hours. Writing about my cats, teddy bears, my dolls and flowers, though, as I got older, I wrote deep poems and stories; in my cozy attic room- I could write my words for hours, writing of my grief, my life, thoughts- in all categories. Though, as I got older, I wrote deep poems and stories, my poetry is often sad messages to the world; writing of my grief, my life, thoughts - in all categories, like lost leaves fluttering wildly in the wind my words have whorled. My poetry is often sad messages to the world, and words pour out from my pen as a song or a prayer; like lost leaves fluttering wildly in the wind my words have whorled, and often nature poems and funny poems ... I share. And words pour out from my pen as a song or a prayer, love making my words fly and swirl, and twirl, whirl and unfurl; and often nature poems and funny poems ... I share, I have been writing stories and poems since a young girl. ______________________ November 28, 2022 Poetry/Pantoum/Writing Poetry For Milton Copyright Protected, ID 11-1505-155-28 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France I dedicate this Pantoum in honor of my poetic friend Lewis Milton Hankins 1941- 2022 Written for the Premiere contest, Pantoum on Writing sponsor, L MILTON HANKINS, This is a contest that will never be judged as Milton, passed away on December 22, 2022 Submitted to the Premiere contest, 2022 Poetry Marathon, Mile 24 (poems dedicated to the Memory of L Milton Hankins) sponsor, Mark Toney, Judged 01/22/2023 Second Place Submitted to the Standard contest, 2022 Marathon Qualifiers Final Placement sponsor, Mark Toney, Judged 03/04/2023 Twelve Place
