L Milton Hankins Poet Monchielle Stanza

Poetry From the Heart

Poetry from the heart
Chimes like a silver bell,
resounding in my soul
brightens up every day,
my spirit is made whole.

Poetry from the heart
Sounds like a golden bell,
Ringing pure vibrant tone
Announces your wedding,
Ringing tone in your phone.

Poetry from the heart
Tolls like an old bronze bell,
Sharing our liberty
To speak and write boldly
Asserts our right to be.

Poetry from the heart
Dwells like an iron bell,
Solid, touching us deep
Shares common emotions
Memories we will keep.

Christuraj Alex April 14, 2022 at 11:01 PM "like a silver bell", "tone in your phone", iron bell" - Beautiful poem on poetry, with many figures of speech. Congratulations! L Milton Hankins April 15, 2022 at 7:01 AM Thank you so much, Chris. I so appreciate your reading and commenting on my poems.

Edward Ibeh April 5, 2022 at 6:23 PM Never heard of this form before but it's obvious you've mastered it. Brilliant penning, Milt!:-) Congratulations in advance, my friend. I was expecting a Monoku and Constance threw a curveball, teeheehee. I'll try my best. L Milton Hankins April 5, 2022 at 6:38 PM Ah, thanks Edward. You'll do fine. I had heard of this form before, think I'd written two or three of them, so I had a bit of a head start. I hope she likes it.

Unseeking Seeker April 4, 2022 at 7:41 PM The bell tolls for thee ~ amazing write, Milt, this one will be difficult to beat! Unseeking Seeker April 4, 2022 at 11:23 PM Ah! Even as sponsors judge, why’d words we fudge as portrayal, if it entails soul betrayal? L Milton Hankins April 4, 2022 at 7:47 PM Oh, I don't know, Unseeking. Whenever I write something I think is pretty good and submit it to a contest I always get brought down a few notches!

Mike Gentile April 4, 2022 at 9:19 AM The best poetry is definitely "Poetry from the heart" Milt! Well done! Good luck in the contest! L Milton Hankins April 4, 2022 at 10:29 AM Thank you so much for your warm and encouraging comment, Mike. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Caren Krutsinger April 4, 2022 at 6:42 AM Nothing better than "Poetry from the heart" L Milton Hankins April 4, 2022 at 8:25 AM I think so. That's the kind of poetry I like best.

Joseph May April 4, 2022 at 3:33 AM Very nicely penned Milton, I especially liked the third stanza, best wishes L Milton Hankins April 4, 2022 at 8:27 AM Thank you, Joseph, for your thoughtful, kind comment on my poem.

Terry Miller April 4, 2022 at 2:06 AM A different form; once again managed so well, Milton, good luck L Milton Hankins April 4, 2022 at 8:28 AM Thank you, Terry, I was writing for Constance's contest. It is an interesting form, a bit like a quintilla.

Malabika Ray Choudhury April 3, 2022 at 6:42 PM The theme, and your first line "Poetry from the Heart" resonate with me! Beautifully written in an unusual form. Warm wishes! L Milton Hankins April 3, 2022 at 6:54 PM Thank you so much, Mala. I really appreciate your thoughts.

Darlene De Beaulieu April 3, 2022 at 3:06 PM Hello Melton this is a different form. Good luck in the contest. Enjoy your evening my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu April 4, 2022 at 5:31 AM Hello Milton, Yes wait and see. Enjoy your day my friend. L Milton Hankins April 3, 2022 at 6:09 PM Yes, it is. I believe I followed Constance's particular instructions. We'll see. Thanks for your read and your comment.

Jan Allison April 3, 2022 at 2:53 PM ooh this looks complicated Milton, I've just had a peek at the contest, I've never seen the form before I think you have aced it:-) hugs Jan xx L Milton Hankins April 3, 2022 at 6:12 PM I don't know about that, Jan. I had written three of them in the last year or so, but I can't say it's a popular one with me. I gave it the old college try!

Jeff Kyser April 3, 2022 at 2:44 PM Nice one, Milt - I like this form, joyful, short lines are nice, and this one has a nice ring to it. :-) L Milton Hankins April 3, 2022 at 6:13 PM Thanks so much, Jeff. It's not a form that is high on my list. I think I have written three or four of them previously, but it's not really a form that comes to mind when I have a theme. Oh, well.....
