L Milton Hankins Poet Villanelle

A Brief Note of Thanks

When you comment on a poem of mine
I owe you a concise note expressing thanks
That you took the time to read me is so fine.

Reading a comment makes me feel divine
As I read them up and down the planks
When you comment on a poem of mine.

I get joy from my daily New Poems dine,
Discovering new poets entering the ranks
That you took the time to read me is so fine.

Once I read each poem, now I draw a line
So many are hard to understand, like pranks
When you comment on a poem of mine.

Others so complex like trying to factor in sine
Leading me in and out of odiferous tanks
That you took the time to read me is so fine.

I enjoy poems that satisfy like a fine wine
Relieving me of so much of my daily angst,
When you comment on a poem of mine,
That you took the time to read me is so fine.
