L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

Excerpt From Song of the Lark

The song of the lark returns

          To the edge of the woodland

                    She greets me cheerfully trilling

As I stroll across the flowering lea

Mike Gentile November 1, 2021 at 4:09 AM Your excerpt stands so well on its own Milton, I would have thought that it was originally created that way, good luck !! L Milton Hankins November 1, 2021 at 6:57 AM Thanks, Mike. I needed that affirmation. I searched through my free verse poems and tried to find something that worked. I hoped this would, but wasn't sure. I suppose it does!
