This is beautiful ... I did not know Victor left, but I hope he returns, as he is part what makes this site worthwhile - the good folks. I have almost left myself a couple of times of late, so while I don't know his reasons, I can guess. Wonderful tribute. <3

Well said, Maureen! Like Donald Trump, some people do not care about consequences, they are only concerned with winning at any cost. Like an abused spouse, the "loser" will go where appreciated, and the "winner" will find another victim rather than try to develop what little talent he/she may possess. Aloha! Rico

You know I wrote a tribute on Victor as soon as I was informed by him! It is very sad that good people like him are obliged to leave the site! Thank you for honoring him. There must be something done otherwise more and more good people will walk out of the soup leaving behind only those who cause the troubles in the first place! Thank you sweet Maureen for caring!

Cleverly phrased poem, I gather the last line has a double meaning. Although I didn't know him, I find this very sad...

I didn't know he left but I can kind of understand. It is sad though.

Such a shame that Victor has left. I just hope its not down to bullying on here. I know he's removed all his poetry on here.
