Notes About The Poem
I dedicate this poem to Milton Hankins, in ParticipatIng in Andreas un-contest contest ' I started to Know you, and you were gone.' At times you were Prickly yet that began to thaw, you spoke from your Mind of that I'm sure' I sensed the honesty and value Such' I see many here miss you; you had their trust.! As a footnote the name Milton is the condensed of Milltown.' Which may mean Miltons ancestors came From such a town.? And my entry lines allude to such Or maybe its just a name picked at random Andrea might know?

Miltons Lines

Whirling thoughts yet mindful of forms
Turn names observing; your letters borne'
To the flowing race' unconscious streaming
Guddling in grace to beam of myrid meanings
Mill-town forebears, cast your form quite fine
A boon to your peers here'  hear hear.!
I stand to applaud; the depth, of Miltons lines.'
