Taking a Break

While on vacation, I decided it was time to take a break from Poetry Soup, after seven years of being here. I do not know if, or when I will return. In the meantime, I want to thank everyone who visited my poems and commented. I really appreciate you-- being there for me. So many top poets and friends will dwell in my memories. Your visits and comments meant a lot.

Vijay, Always a friend to poetry and so many here on the Soup. There were times I felt boxed in by life. Maybe others felt the same. Your poetry cut little holes in the boxes we made. Allowing us to breathe easier. I wish you the same. -Richard

Vijay, Over fourteen hours of daylight the day you decided to take a break, just at the cusp of summer. There's barely eleven now. Wondering when the long days, and the poet of light will return. -Richard

You were indeed a gracious presence on poetry soup. Initially I enjoyed your support so much and am thankful to you. Then one day you suddenly stopped looking at my poems. I couldn't find the reason. So I too stopped commenting on your poems. Hope you wouldn't leave poetry site and will return after a break. Best Wishes.

Dear vijay! I miss your sincere comments and i do appreciate your creative poetry. I hope to see you back soon! Soup wont be the same without your poetic presence! Yes sometimes we need a break from these sites and social media, connect with nature and surrounding. Please take care and come back with beautiful poems again. I just read again “if” and i hope its not an if, and you will certainly return because you are one of the most talented and kindest on soup. Sending you light always

Dear, Vijay Have a wonderful holiday! Just don't leave us hanging for too long; I was actually expecting you to return after your break. Free time is necessary from time to time, but not forever, my friend. I understand how tough it has been to go utterly. Everyone will be sad to see you go, but I promise they will be ecstatic to see you again. My friend, best wishes
