Missing Milt

A prolific poet With a talented touch He knew how to show it Active, vocal as such He loved a thoughtful write Will be missed very much A glowing, shining light In his faith, standing firm He had a deep insight His wife, Deb would confirm He wrote love from his heart He served well his full term A tribute to his art On tearful diamonds built From our minds, won't depart Now walking on streets gilt Our Kentucky friend, Milt.
3rd January 2023 "Keep writing, and keep entering contests, but never let the worth of what you write be judged by some contest. Know that your work is a reflection of what's in your heart and that is always rewarding! --your Kentucky friend, Milt" (From one of his soupmails to me)

Hi Jo, This is a heartfelt tribute on Milton with his own soup mail to show how he encouraged others. Though I had not much contact with him, I used to read most of his poems. His poetry is priceless and it will be greatly missed.
