For L Milton Hankins
Never afraid to express what he thought,
His convictions came through loud and clear.
By sharing, in words, what in life he’d been taught,
All his comments were kind and sincere.
There was rarely a day when he didn’t respond
To a poem that I happened to post.
Now that he’s taken leave from this earth to beyond,
It’s his goodness that I’ll miss the most.
Rest in peace, Milt, and know that on Poetry Soup
You have left an unfillable void,
For your writings gave many (I’m one of the group)
Ruminations we greatly enjoyed.
