L Milton Hankins Poet Verse

Old Homeplace

The old, columned front porch is sagging
Sad shutters hang on the bias abandoned,
Broken panes neglected as weather crept in 
Still their silent voices call out with warmest hospitality.

Caren Krutsinger January 28, 2022 at 11:03 AM That end line is marvelously penned. L Milton Hankins January 28, 2022 at 11:40 AM Thank you, Caren. I was thinking of the old house where my grandfather and grandmother lived. Sadly, a number of years ago, it burned.
