A lovely tribute to Bob, who was indeed a very generous reviewer. I really loved his very unique language and I too will miss reading about Cleve and Mo. Written from the heart Debbie, nicely done.
cheers.

Thank you for reading my tribute to Bob. I miss him, too.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
I mirror your sentiments regarding Bob. Although I have only been here for a few years, I have reviewed all his work and found absolute pleasure in reading his poems and stories. He is quick to welcome new members and He sorted me out regarding SHOWING not TELLING, which was a tremendous help.
You are absolutely right about his knowledge of using the right words.
Thank you for this lovely tribute.

Thank you for your updates and for starting this book for his family. I hope it gives them some comfort to know how much we loved him at FanStory.
Comment from rama devi
Wonderful! I enjoyed this well rhymed tribute, and I bet Bob did too, especially this line:
His heroes rout and villains lurk.
Made me chuckle!
Love this too:
"Use verbs, more verbs, then more," he'd say.
Wise words I use until this day.
RIP Bob.
Hugs,

Debbie,
What a delightful tribute to our friend. He was all that you said and more. It's hard to say goodbye to someone like Bob. If you could pack all his writing knowledge into capsules, I think most of us would sign up for a prescription. hahahaha
Thanks so much!

I just wanted to contribute to his book. He meant so much to FanStory and to me. Thank you for your review.
Comment from Bill Schott
This is a neat send up for Bob, Debbie. He paid his dues in life and as a writer as well. His was a class act, especially when it came to Fanstory input.

Isn't that the truth. Everything that you said is so true.
Thank you for your review. I just want Bob's family to have a nice memento from FanStory.
Comment from tfawcus
A great tribute, Debbie. There are so many here on FanStory whose writing has been enriched by Bob's wisdom and the unassuming way in which he shared his expertise.

Thank you, Tony. You are right. Bob was always so humble with his advice. I just wanted his family to have a nice book from Bob's FanStory friends. Raffaelina was good to start the book.
Comment from LisaMay
Nice tribute, Debbie. It's interesting to read that Bob's advice to you was to use verbs, verbs, verbs - actions speak loudly. I think you've moved on from being a 'poet wannabe' - such humility! You write wonderful poetry.
I love this line: 'His heroes rout and villains lurk.'

What a nice review. You make me feel good saying that I write good poetry. That honestly makes me laugh.
I wanted to pass along some of Bob's advice. Ages ago, he told me to go light on adjectives and pick good verbs. He was a man of action who could write. I hate that his life was cut short.
Comment from lyenochka
You are a poet not a wannabe. But I love your humble and thoughtful tribute to Bob and how he helped you choose more verbs. I like your references to Cleve and to the Santa stories. Great honoring poem!

Thank you for reading my little tribute to Bob. Three writers at FanStory have helped me the most. You are one of them. Gloria and Bob are the other two. I hate that his life was cut short. He didn't even get to finish his last book.

Thank you for saying that, Debbie! I'm so honored to be listed with Gloria and Bob! 💖💖
