Tribute To Top Community Builders Milton and Caren

For Milton I’ve nothing but praise
His comments lift me like sun rays
Milton comments a lot
So he’s at the top spot
I value his support always
 
Cute Caren works ever so hard
She is an exceptional bard
Posts ten poems each night
For our joy and delight
I hold her in such high regard

Kudos to Caren and Milton for all the time they spend writing quality  poetry and supporting so many people on soup. About 3 years ago I spent 9 months as top community builder and I know from my own experience how much time and effort it takes

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/18/2021 7:54:00 PM Aw, poor old Gershon... #3 is merely 'chopped liver.' Just kidding, of course.

I am happy to be a part of a community with kind and encouraging poets like Milt and Caren.In my, you are still a top-notch community builder yourself. It takes one to “ know” one:-) Alexis Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 12/17/2021 5:32:00 PM aww thanks Alexis I spent about 9mths as top community builder but dont have the time to commit to the site now but I try and be as supportive as I can:-) hugs Jan xx

Terry Flood Date: 12/17/2021 11:29:00 AM A fine salute, Jan. I have to say that, on the couple of POTD that I have had and that resulted in far more comments, I was astounded at how much time replying takes, likewise, commenting can eat into an evening. Not a second begrudged of course… but we can’t make time out of thin air. Which begs the question… Are Caren and Milt both in prison? Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 12/19/2021 4:47:00 PM LOL Terry! I know I comment day and night and Caren seems to have a paintbrush in one hand…lol Jan Allison Date: 12/17/2021 5:35:00 PM ha ha ha and let out for good behaviour:-) hugs Jan xx
