This is a clever tribute poem to Mastery, Robyn, he certainly was a master of all things written and very generous with his encouragement of other writers. Enjoyed your tribute,
cheers.

This is such a great poem for Bob. It sums up so neatly his many outstanding qualities and reminds us of what we all will be missing in the days and years ahead. I liked how you so cleverly incorporated his FanStory name in each verse. I always wondered how he came to choose that name. Your rhymes and meter are perfect and the tribute is sincere and moving. Thanks for this outstanding chapter.

This is a clever and well-crafted poem, that also gives honor to Bob, known as Mastery, who you were obviously close to. I'm sorry for your loss, and also for the loss to his other friends on FanStory, and especially to his family. I was sad that he didn't make it.

Your last stanza is really great; very uplifting. May Bob rest in peace with God.

Thank you so much dear Robyn for posting this wonderful tribute to our beloved Bob, the true personification of a Master. Not only excellent writer but a friend, helper, and supporter. He encouraged me to write, many times. I will miss him, always.

Thank you for sharing your memories of Mastery so poetically. He gave me a lot of helpful encouragement and critique when I first arrived here at FanStory. He sent me an autographed copy of Falling Up The Stairs, which I will always cherish.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs..

He was a strong writer with a strong penchant for telling it like it is in reviews. I loved following his works. I recently sent him a get well card and a note. I pray he saw it before he passed. He will be missed. Luckily his books are available on Amazon. I pray he gets an eternal flame here...

This is a neat send up for Bob, Robyn. He was really an all-service Fanstorian with input and receptivity that made those who interacted with him realize that they were in a get-serious zone.

What a beautiful tribute to a talented writer who will be missed. How wonderful you are to lend such a great talent to this awesome man. I will miss him so much.

A master with mem'ries,
and holding your gaze;
a master at saying
old things in new ways. [my favorite stanza]
