Key Ingredient For Soup

From someone who did not know him well:
To a supporter, a poet, a contest host
Acrostic all the way to villanelle

Here is my version of a toast
Milt, who read new poems everyday
And wrote of all the things he loved the most

Unafraid to stand up, not back away
Complimenting strangers as well as friends
With something sincere and kind to say

A spirit lives on as a good life ends
Memories remain to help recoup
Still writing somewhere as he transcends

In a unique, diverse, poetic group
He was a key ingredient in this bowl of soup
