Poet Lm

Lewis Milton Hankins or LM for short when I call him
Always writes poems amazingly in any form and theme
He’s an excellent poet, author and prolific writer
A man of God, as reflected in his poems--a great believer.

He’s a very good mentor, so kind and generous
On his time to read poems, to encourage and applause
Sometimes he gives surprises, being the first to comment
His words uplift---he’s a loving and wonderful friend.

His poems and works are great sources of inspirations
Breathtaking masterpieces like Villanelles and Pantoums
He pens them with ease, in a highly aesthetic creation
To share his life’s journey, love, hope, ideas, joys, aspirations…

Then, the moment came for him to leave us all
Going back to our Lord, creator of our poetic soul
Sad and heartbreaking but he doesn’t want us cry
For he’s going to a better place to reunite with his wife.

Thank you dear friend LM for the good memories
You’re safe in God’s Hand, you may now rest in peace
We’ll remember and keep you in our hearts forever
Deep gratitude for your poetry; still, we’ll visit you there.

I love his comments especially on my poems, My Best Blessings and A Jolly Fisherman, who first commented on it. His words were uplifting and they served as my consolation prizes.

Valsa George Date: 1/7/2023 9:02:00 PM What a heartfelt tribute for the great poet....dear Len. He was adept in every form of poetry especially Villanelle and Pantoum which I find are extremely difficult. Definitely Milton, a man of great integrity, will live through his great poems Login to Reply Len Gasun Date: 1/9/2023 2:06:00 PM I agree my dear friend Valsa. He's really good at many forms of poetry especially the two forms which are also extremely tough for me to write. He is a man of great integrity as everybody can feel it. Thank you so much for stopping by, leaving an uplifting comment on my poem my dear friend. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs
