Swayambhu; Poems that simply- EXIST! by Pungidass
Rating-4/5
For guys like me the one chief mantra is that we love writing poetry but hate reading them!
Even if its Milton, I would still grab another story since I feel Poems are a vague attempt and the only one who actually understands what he or she is trying to say is the Poet!
So making an exception I picked up my dear friend Pungidass’s collection since I know him to be a person with multiple talents and that would reflect in the poems!
He does not disappoint one bit! The poems are like his mind! Some of them so simple that you would think it is a passing thought (or is it?!) while some are longer and need your concentration to understand.
Some poems start with such a high degree of philosophical undertone that they pique your attention and then suddenly it ends with a simple explanation like the mobile phone poem which is the best one!
Then some poems take the viewpoint of third person or even an insect like an ant or a mosquito!
Some poems are longer though most are within the page and rarely two; one poem is simply one line long! It called You (You are not a Bouquet but a garden of flowers!); yes that is the whole poem!
In one poem with all seriousness he talks about things we don not talk about like literally the things we do not talk about! Or a note about a Guru in Himalaya or about a beautiful man or even meeting the crows! While in the next he tells his goodbye to the bedsheet!
Poet Pungidasa is also a poem in the book and that is also nice to read! A myriad of emotions and all you need is a light simple mind to read and make your own assumptions! There is a poem n women with all the words starting with the letter W!
According to Poet Pungidass, Tomorrow it shall get better if you Gather men for peace! In a typical twist, the last poem is a foreword!
He ends it with a description about himself and links to his different works!
All in all when a person like me who steers clear of any poem liked them, I am sure anyone else who enjoys poetry would do too!
