L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Most Noble Act

The most noble act in all the world, I think
To back away from war on the brink
Seeking peaceful concession
With reparation
Restoring
Peace
Endorsing
Calm separation
Mutual declaration
Leaves both nations prospering insync
The most noble act in all the world, I think  

Written March 28, 2022
[an Andaree, developed by Poet
Andrea Dietrich, with one small

Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2022 at 7:56 PM Was the variation not using the middle word peace in the title? I think you did very well with my form. You should have told me earlier about it. It was my only invented form that Soup told me was "accepted" yet I do not think it has been added into poetry type choices when we use the submission box. No fair. They have footles listed!! Gotta fave this. I see so few Andarees. L Milton Hankins April 2, 2022 at 8:17 PM P.S. I managed to write some Footles today. You challenged me, so I wrote some for Brian's next contest. You'll have to wait and see if I got them right! L Milton Hankins April 2, 2022 at 8:16 PM Yes, it was, because I felt folks would tend more to read it if I titled it as I did. I agree that our forms, when approved, should be added to the Types of Poetry. BTW, Emile uses the Andaree often. He's a real master at it. I've read all of his book, and if you don't have them, you should contact him about them. Talk about prolific!!!! Thanks, Andrea for your read and comment.

Robert James Liguori March 29, 2022 at 9:05 AM Let's pray we see this notable act! L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 9:12 AM Yes, Robert, I pray that we will see it in the coming days. There is some slight evidence that the mad man is pulling back a little. I hope so!

Caren Krutsinger March 29, 2022 at 8:48 AM This would be a noble act "to back away from war on the brink" L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 9:12 AM I so agree.

Sotto Poet March 29, 2022 at 7:22 AM Milton, this is an impressive structure. The wording method, in conjunction with the idea, is flawless as well. L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 8:08 AM Thank you so much, Sotto. It was my first attempt at an Andaree. I was just hoping it worked!

Tom Cunningham March 29, 2022 at 7:17 AM Strong is the man that can walk away from conflict, there is nothing honourable about being a war mongerer. Tom L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 8:09 AM That is so true, Tom. Thanks for sharing.

Marco Chies March 29, 2022 at 7:01 AM This is quite a building, Milton. In addition to the message, the phrasal technique is perfect. Congratulations! L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 8:10 AM Ah, you are very kind, my friend. I appreciate your thoughts on this poem, an attempt with a format I hadn't tried before.

Mike Gentile March 29, 2022 at 4:35 AM Great and noble thoughts Milt! If only power hungry greed could take a back seat in this world! This is a very well constructed write, good luck !!! L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 8:12 AM Thanks, Mike, for your thoughtful and affirmative comment to this, my first, attempt to write something with Andrea's poetry form.

Victor Buhagiar March 29, 2022 at 2:30 AM Alas man wants only war. L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 8:18 AM It would seem that way, Victor, but as I recall even the gods of Greece and Rome were at war with each other. War has been around as long as history!
