Review of Crazy Out Of Love  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (3.0)
Anytime when I read a confessional poem, it reminds me of Sylvia Plath's poem which I like to read in my sullen mood. Your choices of words are creating a magnetic effect in the mind. It wonderfully projects the dismay of mind when one loses everything in love and faith.

A poem with a pathos and a note of permanent departure from the labyrinthine maze of world. The poet's grandfather is dying and the poet has to watch this passively as nothing can be done when inevitability calls.

The poem reveals the inner struggle of the poet to compose a well-knit poem. His mind gets entrapped in the labyrinthine cobweb of thoughts. He is in dismay. His thoughts get jumbled. The poem very well displays the inner play of conscious and subconscious mind.

The poem beautifully designed the elegance of natural manifestations in the season of spring which is considered to be the season of bountiful beauty. The emotions are well manifested. One can easily visualize the seasonal flourishes. The poem has an echo of Shelley's theme of water cycle in his famous poem
ODE TO THE WEST WIND. The last line is an echo of Keats's poem ODE TO AUTUMN-"If winter comes can spring be far behind?".

The poem is about transcending self. A short poem with a depth. Time gets too short. The heart is the prism reflecting the playing of emotions.

Review of Sink In The River  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)
A free verse poem with definite message tomards the society. To my point of view the poem belongs to the category of stream of consciousness. The ultimate is the existence by defying the predicament of life. Man can truly define his own fate. The poem is about transcending self and rising to the surface of enlightened consciousness. The poem touches the inner strings of heart's lyre.

Review of Destined  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (4.0)
The poem Destiny written in the rhyme scheme abab brings out the ultimate truth that with the rotation of the earth our destiny is wrought. The poem has some delicate positive notes. The poet has motivated us to propel towards achieving success defying the evil purpose of the fools and knaves. Life has given us the chance to live it full. It definitely depends upon us how we use our genius. The poem reminds me of Rudyard Kipling'svpoem If which has similar traits of positive approaches.

Hi, your poem makes me deeply moved by the profundity of love fir your mother. Mother- ah! A word being so depthful that the even the sound of it is soothing, refreshing the mind from all sorts of wearies and worries, the pangs of life. In the poem you have squeezed your unbound emotion. A son feeling repentant for hus mistakes and at the same time remorseful. The poem is touching the cord of my heart's strings.

Review of First Love  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (4.0)
Thevtitlevof the poem attracts everyone as it is related to love. But it is really amazing and praiseworthy that a person is in deep love with the trees. From the core of my heart, I truly appreciate your views. The way you have maintained the spontaneity of your love for the trees is worth praising. The flow of rhythm id well maintained.Trees are responsible for our sustenance. But the cruelty of human beings make our mother nature void of the sylvan beauty. Your poem in this regard is very much inspiring.

Review of Winky  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (4.0)
Oh! after a long time I have been reading a children's poem. I am greatly amazed at the way you have written the poem. It is so nicely written that the halcyon days of our childhood once again become alive. It is poem in the veil of a wonderful fairy tale. The choice of words are quite impressive and the rhyme scheme is perfect for children's poetry. The first three words catch my eye and I can not help sharing my views on the ideas you have penned down. The poem is written in iambic tetrameter. The spontaneity of thought touches the inner core of my heart. so well done.

A well written poem with unusual rhyme scheme. The thoughts are provoking enough. The lovers seem to find love in the usual way as all the lovers generally do. Both of them have been awakened in their newly found love so exciting and exhilarating. The words are nicely chosen. The last line or the title of the poem is impressive and extraordinary.

Review of Illusion  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (3.5)
Indeed life is an illusion- a whirlpool. The first three lines are quite impressive. "carpe diem" means seize the day. Now life is meant to enjoy the moment. In western education this now often rendered as "take advantage of the opportunities arising in the days" to have a full exhilaration. But at times life was scary and full of screams. Yet life bears illusory notes. The poem has a definite rhyme scheme. It follows the rhyme scheme abab. The poem has a theme of its own that seems to be out of the norm.

what a lovely creation! Life's disappointment and purposelessness have been put into three curt sentences! Life is lost in labyrinthine maze. there is no respite. One is searching for it but there lies doubt whether one would know the purpose or once again lose hope. well done.

Review of Your Song  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (3.5)
The poem as its title is concerned focus on the depth love. A lover yearns to immortalize his lady love in the perpetual lines of the songs he would like to write for her. Even in the moments of solitude no pensive thought would pervade his mind as he had written a song for his beloved that would make him remember his sweetheart. The lines deeply move me. The profundity of thought and feelings of love has touched my heart. The rhyme scheme is unusual.The first two stanzas follow the rhyme scheme aa bb. But third and fourth stanzas are unrhymed while the last stanza again is rhymed as that of the first two stanzas. nonetheless, the poem is dipped in the depth of emotion.

Review of Falling Rain  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: 13+ | (3.0)
The poem has several soft touches. It provokes us to feel the passionate love in the rainy romantic night. Rain and romance go hand in hand. they are perfectly synchronized and the poet has nicely pictured the warmth of love in the coziness of lover's soft kisses and hugs. They have been united in the feelings of love.

I can't help sharing my views on the thoughts and emotions you have displayed for winter. Everyone feels chilled and slackened due to the shivering cold which is recognized to be the season of dismay and decay. But as winter is also my favorite season I feel a strong zest to pen down my views. First of all, the thoughts have been nicely interwoven with the recapitulation of childhood memories when winter was characterized with the utopian world of fairies, pixies, witches. The fairy tale world with its pied beauty has come alive in the mid-spring of life. later on, you have described how you are enjoying winter along with the coziness of love of husband and the cuddling care of your children. The emotions have touched my heart.

In a slim and touching memoir, the writer is trying to create a future by recapturing the present in a different manner where her mother may stand as a hindrance for the acceptance of their love affair . It is a lonely task, and except for a girl whose soul has newly been awakened with the perceptions of newly found love, he pulls it off with a certain amount of flair and elan. There are lots of things to like about “The Sound of Sunshine" as love story. First, the idyllic setting, which has played an important role in the plot construction. The title is apt and attuned to the theme of the story and it is all the more astonishing. The sun rejuvenates us everyday. The girl with her newly found love has been touched with the rays of the sun-the symbol revivification in the story. Second, the poignancy of her grief and confused clash with her mother. It is a romantic love story dealing with the condescending attitude of the mother, the girl's urge for getting a relief in her newly discovered love. The last line is elusive and I like the line for its haunting expression.

A poem about being united in the ecstasy of love. The poem mingles the emotional broodings with the beloved and the mental detachment with the world outside that never pays hid to their loveable feelings. The poem is pervaded with a morbidity though the couple enjoys the pasdinate ecstatic love. The poem has a poignancy of thought which makes the readers get into the emotional juxtaposition.

Review of Who goes there?  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Ah! What can I say? And from where should I begin? The poem's title prompts the readers to read it intensively. The poem far from being only a theological and philosophical exposure, it probes into the subconscious level of human mind. Men pine for what they do not posses and look before and after in gasping agony. The lust never ends. We have innumerable questions those vex, perplex and perturb us every now and then. We are not satisfied with what we have and chase the wild goose all the time knowing well that it is incorrigible. A perfect Vedantic philosophy is projected in the theme of the poem- " where are we going from here" and " who's going there"? We are hardly aware of the fact that after the end of our mortal journey where should we make our pilgrimage and who else will be there to accompany us to our final destination? What a poised philosophy! I am amazed at the thought of the poet how nicely he juxtaposes material lust, inquisitiveness and surrealism. Moreover, the finely interwoven figures of speech heighten the tone of the poem. The alliterative sentences-"Privately poised on our precipice,
perhaps unusually persistent in our patience......."
make the poem all the more rhythmical. Keep feeding your "wings of poesy."

Review of Autumns Fall  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (4.0)
Indeed a great piece of writing projecting the love for autumn and its pulchritudinous manifestations and at the fag end of the essay love is intermingled with a feeling of detachment when winter covers the atmosphere with a canopy of smog and snow. We get into the emotion of the author with his perfect word choice that well suits with the theme. A pen picture of autumnal beauty is painted. There are plethora of images especially the sound images create onomatopoeic impact. The uses of figures of speech make the essay vivrant with word play. The words "sun, shining, twirl, tumble, slimmering, slew" all create alliterative sound. The animals create their own world as is seen in autumn- the chirpimg of cricket, the songs of frogsfrogs really add rhythm to the dongs of autumn. Throughout the piece autumn is personified. The author feels mournful when autumn with all her glorified pied beauties is dragging to the close. Winter is tip-toeing- a season of gloom and morbidity. The wind with its mellowing voice bids adieu to all. The end makes us burdened with grief while the startling start makes us rejoice with the approaching of aural autumn. It also reminds me of Keats' famous poem- Ode to Autumn where autumn is vivified in a majestic way.

Review of passing time  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: 13+ | (3.0)
The title is alluding. At first, I thought that the essay is about superannuation and the leisure of that period. But it is something different- a diary entry that is outside the vogue. One feeling abandoned has written about the dejection. The world for the person seems to be a dungeon full of worries and wearies. She passes a sleepless night. She feels that he would not return and the bygone days were the golden period of her life. The love is lost yet she feels for her. The word choices are perfect for getting into the emotion of the diary entry Well, let your emotion be ignited in the same way and feed the readers with several palatable dishes.

Review of Blessed Be  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: E | (4.5)
On reading the poem I feel a tranquil pleasure in my mind. The magnanimous manifestations of god are blessed themselves. Everything seems to be blissful. The surrealistic thoughts are well woven. The seed itself is blessed with the potentiality of being a tree in near future in which the phoenix builds its nest. well. This is significant as phoenix is the symbol of regeneration from the debris of ashes. The theme of faith and hope inculcates here so nicely. Likewise, inner strength is dormant which needs faith and hope to be flourished full fledged.The theme of rejuvenation is recurrent in the second stanza.The sleeper awakened from deep slumber gets refreshed by inhaling the "fragrance of God's Glory". "The tree of life" symbolizes fruitfulness and success of being a perfect human being who shares equality, fraternity and fellow feeling with all which make man immortal.

Review of Why I Fight  
Review by PAPIYA
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
War- hollow!shameless!macabre!ghastly! wanton waste of human lives and nations' wealth leaving several scars on the physic and psyche of civilization. The two World Wars and all the wars in history beget nothing for the posterity- only the wounds, the ashes of ruins all around from which new life sprouts miserably. The writer feels rightly the carcinogenic truth of wars and throws light on the darker sides of wars which means a holocaust. The winning side is awarded with a medal revealing the pathos that victory is achieved by bespattering the blood of others. Should we call it an achievement? The writer's anti-war attitude is well brought out in the article. This article reminds us the famous line of Wilfred Owen- " My subject is war and the pity of war."
