L Milton Hankins Poet Monorhyme

Yonder Lighthouse

She’s a stolid sentinel standing on the rugged knoll
Standing silently, alone, like an old, weathered soul,
Over many years she has seen taken a dreaded toll
Many an admirer of hers has championed her goal.

Caren Krutsinger January 28, 2022 at 11:14 AM I like your alliterative write Hank. Not sure if this was intentional or a delightful accident. L Milton Hankins January 28, 2022 at 11:23 AM I'd say an accident, Caren, or it just came out that way. I didn't set out to be alliterative. Thanks.

Deb M January 25, 2022 at 10:53 AM I absolutely love lighthouses so I can really relate to this poem Milton. Love it. Debx L Milton Hankins January 25, 2022 at 11:35 AM Thanks, Deb. My screensaver this morning is a stately lighthouse, so I think it inspired this little poem.
