L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Buttermilk Sky

Buttermilk sky, early dawn
Sun bringing sweet sips of life,
Warm promising day ahead
No school on a springtime Saturday.

Tom Cunningham February 26, 2022 at 11:41 AM Saturdays couldn't come quick enough when I was at school but now I wish I was back there. Good luck Milton, hope your weekend is going well. Tom L Milton Hankins February 26, 2022 at 11:55 AM It is, Tom. Hopefully, yours too. I came back from Central Florida so relaxed it was almost hard to get back into the grove.
