L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Leaf

Leaf
Drifting
Slowly down,

Life’s ever journey
Toward the ending knell
Quite meaningful metaphor,

“Comes the time for life-laying down.”

Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2022 at 3:58 AM This flows gently down like a floating leaf. L Milton Hankins June 2, 2022 at 10:03 AM That was the idea, but I wasn't sure I succeeded.

Jenna Logan May 31, 2022 at 12:24 PM Brief or epic, Milt, your poetry always has a message worth reading. I haven't seen this contest. I'm playing catch up. L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 12:37 PM I had never heard of this "triangle" poem, but it sounded kind of neat, so I gave it a whirl. It's hard to come up with something that fits the form and makes sense. I hope I succeeded. I know you can!

Marco Chies May 31, 2022 at 11:27 AM Brief and beautiful, a great little poem, no doubt. L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 11:29 AM Thanks, Marco. I'm generally a very wordy writer, so it's difficult for me to write these brief forms. I appreciate your thoughts on it.
