One of the fascinating things about the collection of poems is that the poet is able to convey what was implied during the phase of writing. Simple English was used to convey thoughts and in most cases.

There are many things in our life which we see through during our day to day life where we take things for granted. Once we start skimming through the lines of the poem it gives the reader a some to think. Various philosophies of life (Optimistic, pessimistic, pantheistic, mystical, cynical, etc) are covered within the collection.

The rhyme scheme and assonance are used wherever applicable which actually adds to the charm of the poem.There is intimacy in this poems collection which includes most of the phases of life from Birth to Race to Grave.

Would recommend to every poem lover

Here, Shweta Kesari, a young woman of letters, sets forth in verse, primarily in rhyme, her love for her country, her love for her family, her love of love itself and her wish for the good life.

This one poem which may be my pleasure to excerpt here serves it well:

Unseen

by Shweta Kesari

To the wind.
That blows courageously
Challenging the mighty mountains
Whirling the mysterious curtains
Unseen and gracious
Serving life so precious
For once it stops
Several heads pop
Hurling misery, begging life
Digging history, claiming strife.

And so Ms. Kesari braves the forces in her life, young lovers, family too, the divine also, always forward into the future come what may. I wish her well. If this book of verse is any sign she has a bright future ahead of her.

The book is a collection of poems and some are just brilliant. They touch the heart and soul and have deep meaning.
Each poem is supported by a beautiful narration - unfortunately, some are too faded to make out properly. But others are to the point.
There is no particular format followed. Some poems are pages long, and some are too short. The variation makes it a delightful read.

My rating: 3.5/5

Loved the book and the poems. Some went and touched the heart. The author has really touched a lot of feelings, some such that are there for all of us but we are unable to express them.
A must read for poem lovers and even those who are not so much into poems.
This book is such that even if I would read a poem which I had liked, it would pep me up.
