Book Review - Pouring Poesy by Durriya Sakharwala

This book is a collection of soulful poems that take the reader on an unforgettable journey. The poems are of varied genres and have been woven beautifully.

There is an element of sadness in some poems while in the others, there is mystery and intrigue. While some poems are nostalgic, some are relatable to the present technology-laden age. Every poem was a pleasure to read.

I am sharing few lines from assorted poems that made a lasting impression on me:

My backpack is in a corner,

Where I dwell in a state of submerged thoughts.

Pristine energy flows with all the might

And my backpack remains empty, with the traces of my fights.

 

I was about to say No, and then the caterpillar turned into a butterfly.

 

Between the sunrise and the sunset, I lost you somewhere, Time.

 

As I dived deeper inside my words, I knew where I belonged; with my pen and distinct colours, I rested my case with happiness.

 

The Wise Old Man, I See You, Time, The Gifts To My Son are some of the poems that I liked the most. Back To Nursery deserves a special mention for its unique and modern take on the nursery rhymes of old.

There are poems on horror genre which have been written really well and give goosebumps and chills to the readers. The author has also experimented with reverse poetry which has worked really well in her favor.

I loved this book, and I am recommending it to people interested in soulful and intriguing poetry.
