Vijay Pandit Poet Prose

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.

Excerpt: "Risking happy tears, triumphs he celebrates - Saving saddened ones to mourn disasters, Banking on the strength of worn-out hands As unforgiving minutes tick-tock forever." -Pride and Joy of His Family - Vijay Pandit October 21, 2018

Quoth Theraven February 23, 2025 at 11:25 AM 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

Valsa George July 11, 2024 at 7:03 AM 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.

Heidi Sands July 3, 2024 at 8:38 PM Omg Vijay. Seriously?? I am so sorry to hear this. ! I have been busy and hoping to get settled to be back here as before. It will not be the same without you here, my friend. I hope the break is temporary. Best wishes.
