L MILTON HANKINS Poems
The hint of love-mist in our eyes
My whispered hello, your perfumed sighs
The fleeting moments when we met... more »
Be not afraid, the realm of darkness surely comes
When least you expect the black night of the soul
When you think with confidence tomorrow borne
The very best of you; made you completely whole.... more »

To cast opaque shadows o'er all my dreams
Sending my spirits downward soaring
Causes my life to lose its fragile mooring... more »

Hateful noises hurled from angry men
Disgruntled folks who lately go about... more »

When Will America Sing Again?
Are the voices of America singing
Lost in the din of hammering dissent
Hateful noises hurled from angry men
Disgruntled folks who lately go about
Pandering to their brother's discontent.

Now are clamoring insults and curses
Neighbor pitted against neighbor,
Brother against brother, will it ever cease?
Will we again hear the voices Whitman
Called the sounds of America singing?
