With Sincere Thanks

Dear Poets, I know for certain that I can never thank all of you enough for the supportive comments and messages you've written over the last 16 days. Each one represented a 'Get Out of Jail" card, letting me know your thoughts were with me. With admiration and affection, please know that I respect each of you who took the time to write poems and/or inquire about me with kind sentiments. I could not read them in my own soup mail, but I did learn about your encouraging words through the kindness of friends that you contacted. I will do my best to catch up on reading and replying to all comments left for me but beg your patience in my doing so. I was able to read all of your beautiful poems written to honor Milt. I can tell that he was respected and loved in the community. How could he not be, considering the fine qualities he had and instilled in many of us? He was my mentor, urging me to start entering contests again, after I'd quit for many months. He wanted me to get past him on that ladder, and I made it to the 2nd rung from the top before we lost him. I don't think I'll continue entering, so Constance, because of your humility and talent, I hope you remain on top. Caren sent soup mail about how sad it is to watch his picture moving spaces down on the home page until it will disappear. He will be gone from view, but not from our thoughts. Tom, your news of Milton Creek would have made him very happy. You've honored him in such a special way by renaming our town. Thank you for being my voice on the site when I could not speak for myself. With sincere thanks to all of you who I fondly call my poetic friends... it's long past time for me to write. Jenna's Saloon in Milton Creek is open for business. First round is on the house! PS: Sheriff, it's time I get my Winchester back.

Delighted to see this as POTD, Jenna. Is this Soup saying ‘Oops, sorry.’ Or is POTD in some way chosen by us Soupers (faves, comments etc)? Either way you’ve earned this merit badge. Enjoy. Terry

Thank you, Terry. I don't know what they're saying and it baffles me how POTDs are chosen. This badge is for Milt.

Hi Joseph. I'd explain but I'd probably get another trip to the hoosegow. Thank you for welcoming me back.

Jenna Logan

It wasn't a poet, Victor. It was the administrators. Thanks for the congrats.

Exactly what my thoughts were when I heard the news. Irony seems to be the truthteller. Thank you for your analogy of POTD, John. You made me smile. ;)

Congrats... Thanks for sharing this, which expresses an answer to my prayer for you. Meanwhile, by God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy from the Lord toward a prosperous New Year 2023 along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

Jenna, I have already left you a comment on this amazing poem, and now I want to say a big congratulations on receiving the deserving POEM OF THE DAY, honor, Milt is smiling down from Heaven, (PS can I apply for a job as a dance girl in your saloon or a server of the brew?) Constance

Jenna Logan
Date: 1/7/2023 6:29:00 AM

Constance, thank you for many amazing comments. I wear this POTD badge as one of honor, not for me. It epitomizes the love we all feel for Milt. You don't need to apply for a job, you'll always have one at Jenna's Saloon. Lots of new customers showing up lately, so there's a need for more pretty ladies to entertain them. NOT the kind of entertainment some fellas here find at the bordello. lol

Thank you, my protective friend. It's been so nice to read the many heartening thoughts from fellow poets. You know how much I value our friendship.

Jenna, so glad you are back. You never should have had to leave in the first place...but that has passed and hopefully it won't happen again. Wonderful thoughts you've expressed. So many were pulling for your return...and it worked! Congrats on POTD, my dear friend. Have a great weekend. Hugs Charlie

Jenna Logan
Date: 1/7/2023 5:50:00 AM

Thanks for another welcoming comment, Charlie. I guess you're forgiven for the bike comment. ;) I truly am grateful for the support I've received. Hugs to you, too.

Jenna, congratulations and I am so happy so see you! Milt had contacted me just a day or two before he left for "vacation", He was planning on coming to Florida and wanted to have lunch. That lunch will have to wait now and I will meet him in the next realm. I sure hope that we lose no one else! Happy Saturday xxoo

Jenna Logan
Date: 1/7/2023 5:10:00 AM

Morning, Mike and thank you for letting me know Milt had plans to meet you. I was sure he had no idea that he'd not meet such a sudden end, and your comment reassures me of that. I appreciate your friendship and thanks for the congratulations.

Jenna, Congratulations on POTD! I, likewise, have been saddened to watch Milton’s picture moving from its top spot, making it all too real. Love the renaming to Milton Creek. xxoo

Jenna Logan

What's that song by Cher? my version: Bang Bang they shot me down. Bang Bang I'm still around. Thank you for the congrats, but you need to be at work tonight, dear poetry sister. It's the weekend and we're going to be busy. Some folks are still celebrating the renaming of Milton Creek!

Stack them up all you like, Elizabeth. I'm always delighted to read your comments. I'm not a hassler, usually the hassled. Thank you very much for your kind thoughts.
