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 12/17/21

Lovely tribute Jan, to Milton and Caren the ones doing the hard graft and overtime, but it’s gotta be a labour of love, takes some grit and determination, to keep putting quality poems and comments out there, cheers David

I’m breathless when I make it to number two…lol…I’d settle for kicking Gershon out of number 3. I love all you guys! Congratulations to Thing number 1 and Thing number 2 ;) for getting this tribute from Dear Jan! (A Dr. Seuss ref. - Thing 1 and 2) Merry Christmas!

Aw, poor old Gershon... #3 is merely 'chopped liver.' Just kidding, of course. It sure does take a lot to be in the #1 or #2 slot! ~ gw

Wow! Jan, This is a great tribute to them both. They are two amazing poets on Soup Ville Lane. 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

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?

LOL Terry! I know I comment day and night and Caren seems to have a paintbrush in one hand…lol
