Notes About The Poem

Milt

Poet Milt was loved by all here on Soup, for he held out to all, a helping hand, day by day enlarging his friendship loop and by his principles, always did stand. Author of a book on theology, he shared deep wisdom from direct knowing garnered during his time in the clergy, echoed in verses that he kept flowing. Man of religion, yet free from its crutch, Milt, honest to the core, spoke out his mind, investigating higher truths by touch, free from narrow superstitions that bind. He was a true friend who walked among us ~ We wish his soul peace, aboard God's bliss bus 29-December-2022

A smashing tribute to a smashing man, US. How he squeezed so much into one lifetime I struggle to fathom. Terry

Milt, honest to the core, spoke out his mind, yes and he was open to debate to change his mind if reasonable. Lovely tribute, US. He also was the author of "Ashes On The Snow" I have the book it's available on Goodreads--and you can see another picture of Milt on my 12/8/22 "My Favorite Poet"

Thank you, Deb, David, Tom. It was a deep shock for me and all of us to hear that Milt is no more. PS will not be the same without him.

You’ve captured the spirit of Milton honestly and intelligently here Seeker, he was a man of faith, yet one that was open minded enough to take all possibilities of the spiritual realm on board, free from the crutch indeed, excellent tribute to a larger than life man, cheers David
