As we all do. This is such a good characterization of Bob. His writing and his advice. When you say...
"Dear Bob gave excellent advice
I never made the same
mistake twice
His reviews, always fair
many tips he would share
now he rests in the arms of our Christ,"
I smile. Me too! This is a lovely poem.

I did too. He seemed to have such a loving persona from the first review he ever did of my work he made me feel special.

Comment from Ulla
Hi amahra, you have paid a wonderful tribute to a writer who was very popular on this. He's now gone and he's left behind some writing that was admired by many on this site. All best, Ulla:)))

A Man To Remember
by amahra
This is the third poem in Bob's honor. It's great. I did know him well but we chatted a few times and exchanged reviews. I only read poems but I knew he wrote several chapters of a crime novel. I remember his postings were well written and very long.
Well done, he would be honored.

Comment from Susan Larson
I only met Mastery very recently and from these poetic eulogies his friends are posting, I feel like I missed out on so much of his talent, empathy and wisdom. However, I feel blessed to have met him at all.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your tribute to Mastery is straight from your heart to his. I enjoyed reading it more for what you wrote than the poetic techniques though those are used wisely, too. Your words read well and are descriptive and heartfelt.
Respectfully, Jan

He certainly was a man to remember. I have two of his books that he autographed for me. They are both prized possessions.
Thank you for sharing this tribute to Bob.

Thank you, Janet. I'm jealous that you have an autographed copy. I have his "Fatal Beauty" never realizing it would be a prize possession.
Comment from royowen
A good man was Bob. And the book, "Falling up the stairs" was my favourite of his, writungm it was about his own childhood, mingled with his sibling, of his days in foster care, I had to guess it was about him, but he confessed it was, well done, a wonderful tribute to a great bloke. Beautifully written free verse, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this poetic tribute to Bob, Mastery with us. He was a great crime author and I enjoyed his mysterious. You did a great job writing this. I'm praying for his family and friends.

Thank you, Barbara. I have one of his books by me now, Fatal Beauty.I wish I had gotten his autograph.
Comment from Anne Johnston
Your poem makes me curious, this is the second one I have seen on here today referring to Bob. I am guessing this is someone who was a writer on here, but has passed on. Your poem is a good tribute.
