MY REVIEW



When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. This quote by John F. Kennedy holds true and it somewhere also inspires me to keep on writing.



Writing my heart out, penning my emotions in the form of poems has always been my cup of tea. One day randomly scrolling through social media, I came across this book in a friend's feed named as, There's a poet in Everyone by Dr. Diwakar Pokhriyal and I was startled because I thought, Is it so? Is writing poems such an effortless task? Because to the contrary, I was stuck onto the fact that I was blessed and Oh! It is in my genes!

To satiate my suspicion, I bought the kindle edition of this book and I started reading it. And trust me, I was so captivated by the content of the book that I finished it overnight.

I admit that I was never aware of what all forms can Poems be drafted in.
ABC poetry, Freedopoetry, Fibonacci, there are hundred such forms explained beautifully throughout the book. The author indeed seems very meticulous.
The usage of vocabulary, examples, the short poems mentioned all of it is highly appreciable.

I am in short of words, while I express my pleasure after reading the book. I am glad that having learnt the minutest details of Poetry formation conveyed in the book, I can now ink my emotions more appropriately.

I am glad to give this book a 5/5 star.

You can grab your book from Amazon, available in both paperback and kindle edition:

I also have a profile on goodreads, wherein I have done many such reviews as I am an avid reader!

तो इश्क़ करना जिस्म ही नहीं, रूह छू सको तो इश्क़ करना हुक्म नहीं, साथ बैठ सलाह ले सको तो इश्क़ करना फब्तियाँ कसना नहीं, कभी तारीफों में दो शब्द कह सको, तो इश्क़ करना मालिक नहीं, कभी हमराज़ बन सको तो इश्क़ करना परदे पर ही नहीं, असलियत में इज्जत दे सको तो इश्क़ करना महज दिखावे के लिए नहीं भरी महफिल में बेखौफ हाथ पकड़ चल सको तो इश्क़ करना अपनी शर्तों को मनवाना ठीक है, उसकी शर्तों पर भी कभी बेझिझक उतर सको, तो इश्क़ करना वो मेरी है इस बात की रट नहीं, कभी तुम भी उसके बन सको तो इश्क़ करना सात फेरों को मात्र साक्षी मान कर नहीं दिल से उसे जीवन में संगिनी बना हमराही बन सको तो इश्क़ करना।
