Milt Hankins
From the Bluegrass, a poet named Milt
Took great care with the poems he built.
With both nuance and pace,
Gave the muse merry chase,
Graced the page with the ink that he spilt.
His posting are indeed a delight;
His shadormas and haikus, so tight.
His repertoire swells:
Trionets, villanelles,
Seems there’s no form that Milt cannot write.
But the real gift for which Milt is known:
That he treats folks just like they’re his own.
To teach and to share
With aplomb and with care
Is a quality not often shown.
For his true love, he’s over the moon
With sweet phrasing that makes the gals swoon,
And he longs to reside
Once again by her side,
but we’re selfish, so please, not too soon!
