L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

A Fine Sort of Day

Suffice it to say
Today is a fine sort of day
Unless you are out
In the field pitching hay!

Charles Messina July 29, 2021 at 5:14 PM I'd much rather be fishing (lol)...Very nicely done, Milton. Congratulations on your winning placement. Charlie L Milton Hankins July 29, 2021 at 6:32 PM Oh my goodness, wouldn't we all...especially those of us who have pitched hay!

Paul Callus July 28, 2021 at 12:00 PM Short and fast flowing, with a sprinkling of humour Milton. Congratulations on your podium finish. // paul L Milton Hankins July 28, 2021 at 1:17 PM Thanks, Paul. I appreciate your kind thoughts.

Sam Kauffman July 28, 2021 at 11:21 AM Great little poem of perspective Milt. In the winter I do love a good storm. However, that being said, after all of the traveling I have done I can't help but think of those flying in on an airplane! L Milton Hankins July 28, 2021 at 1:19 PM Thanks for your comment, Sam. I'm not quite sure how it related to my poem, but I'll take it!

Christuraj Alex July 28, 2021 at 6:08 AM Beautiful Creation. Congratulations! L Milton Hankins July 28, 2021 at 8:29 AM Thanks, Christuraj.

Caren Krutsinger July 23, 2021 at 6:58 PM I only pitched hay once; the dust gets into your nostrils and ruins your day, so this makes sense. L Milton Hankins July 23, 2021 at 7:44 PM Oh, it is just bone-tiring, back-breaking work. I don't envy anyone having to work in the fields in the Midwest during this heat wave.

Gershon Wolf July 20, 2021 at 5:34 PM Ha, ha! Pretty funny there! ~ Farmer Wolf, just a-feeding them cows L Milton Hankins July 20, 2021 at 5:56 PM If you've ever pitched hay in the middle of August, you know what I'm talking about. It's hot, sweaty, and miserable!!! Thanks for the visit, Gershon.

Vijay Pandit July 20, 2021 at 3:46 PM This is quite meaningful Milton. A beautiful day for most, except for the people who are working outdoors. I see a number of migrants working on installing roofs in 90 degree weather--not easy for some! L Milton Hankins July 20, 2021 at 6:01 PM So true, Vijay. I don't know how they do it, except for drinking lots of water. 90 degree weather is not to work in. Thanks for your visit, your read, and your comments.
