Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

The Angel Sings- Again

Another genuine soul so sadly departed 
So talented a poet and so kindhearted 
He touched my soul right from the start 
Tears are drenched from my broken heart 

A contest poet and commenter too! 
Who often remarked on me and you 
His voice was heard through and through 
He will forever be missed by all that he knew 

As we got to know him over year by year 
We found that we genuinely knew he'd care 
If some other poet would begone, disappear 
He too would be saddened and shedding a tear 

But trust in the lord, he gave him his wings 
Hey Clarence..."Listen" Another bell rings 
Poetry in heaven our friend "Milton" brings
To heaven he's flown- the angel sings 


*Dedicated to L Milton Hankins 

He will forever be missed
R.I.P. (Milt)

Andrea Dietrich January 16, 2023 at 1:41 PM So special this is, Charles. Thanks for contributing to the list of tributes for Milt in my un-contest.

Valsa George January 5, 2023 at 5:58 AM A touching tribute to dear Milton. Indeed he was a poet of immense potential and every form of verse was pliable to him. He will have poetry sessions in Heaven too and angels may recite his poems. Well done Charlie...

Shirley Hawkins January 2, 2023 at 2:57 PM This a beautiful poem from the heart, Charlie. It was so unexpected to his friends on poetry soup, but I feel he knew and was prepared and happy to unite with his wife. Good health and happiness for 2023, Charlie, Take care, Shirley

Speaks Volumes December 28, 2022 at 12:36 PM l didn't know him like so many did on here, but I admired him from afar. Charlie your poem is a befitting tribute to MlLT. May he rest in peace, and may those that loved him use his poetry to comfort themselves, and to ease the pain of mourning. His last poem ended : Bye Bye - Don't Cry. Your tribute is lovely Charlie. Charles Messina December 29, 2022 at 3:25 AM Thank you, Wendy. I imagine he knew his final days here on earth were coming when he wrote his last lines off poetry. He was a very talented poet and wonderful person. Lovely sentiments.
