Victor Buhagiar

sometimes it's hard to understand about the bullying ... I just don't get it... , but I rarely see it.. and Victor is all that...

We learn to give, share and care.. that deeply feeds our sense of humanity and reason for being.. Hurting others, I think, is but hurting our selves.. It is getting far away from attaining inward harmony and beauty.. Sometimes, Leaving is not betraying! If Victor has left, it is because he couldn't betray his convictions, values, self esteem and inner beauty.. Victor a poet of grandeur to whom I'm grateful.. Thank you so much Arthur for sharing. A heart of Beauty! You see in others what You are.

Sad to hear

Oh my, did he really go, Arthur??? I thought he was going to stay!!! He is such a dear.

Well said Arthur:)

Yours is a fitting tribute to my fellow countryman, Arthur! I do not know why Victor left, but he must have valid reasons. For sure, he will be missed by many @ Soup. Like you, I look forward to his return. Regards // paul

It is sad to see him go. I agree he is one of the best poets here. Sad that it only takes a few rotten apples to spoil the bushel. We should all start thinking like a family not strangers. Hope he returns. Love

This has just come to my attention...it is a sad day for me to hear this...I thought my friend was taking a bit of a break...a prayer for him to return...we need great poets...and friends...thanks Arthur for letting us know with your sentiments...love & light...^WW^

What a shame that Victor has left PS! I’m really saddened by this..he is such an amazing poet and very thoughtful and caring. I so appreciated when Victor commented on my poems and was so supportive. I truly hope Victor reconsiders and returns soon! :(

Oh ..How sad to return and find Victor gone..He's a very good man..Ofxcourse a malteser :) :) ...He s a great poet and yes a knight ..with a shield of faith and love..Lovely tribute.

Arthur, I did not realize Victor was gone as he left a comment for me not long ago. It hurts to think a man of his caliber has been the target of someone who injures others with words. Gosh, your poem is a beautiful tribute to Victor and I hope he has the chance to see it. Sometimes we just need a break and then poets return. Some websites have hostile atmosphere and it's awful to see hostility here in our otherwise safe haven. Hugs, Carolyn (report the offender!)

he is so truly missed..victor has told me of his struggle to write lately due to lack of feedback and his own need for reflection.. VICTOR, i need you here to guide me as i will do the same for you, my dear friend.. huggs thank you, arthur....

Makes me so sad when i talked to him last month he was talking about leaving the site, I suggested he took a break and he promised he would leave his poems, he did come back recently but I think the lack of support he's had with comments has a lot to do with his decision to leave but I'm not sure the real reason he's left. I've had the pleasure of meeting Victor and his late wife Liliane and it was a joy to spend time with them:-( hugs Jan xx

I share your sentiments Arthur..a lovely tribute you wrote to a good friend and poet. I am puzzled..did he really leave or is he just taking a break..like he did last month? Good poem you wrote to honor him.

Say it isn't so. Victor is one of the nicest most open minded, kindest people I have met here at Soup. Shame shame. This saddens me. Thank you for this Arthur, xomo

VICTOR BUHAGIAR- will come back! perhaps! no! must come back..

It seems there are some on here who get a kick out of making negative comments. We all need to stand together and get them kicked off the site. They are NOT welcome here. Well written Arthur. Tom.

I have always known him as a kind man, I hope he returns, I too enjoyed his poetry. xoxoxoxo
