Thanks for your review! I appreciate that the collection contains poems of different styles and lengths; this will make it more interesting to read through. It's also really cool that the author incorporated different formats to reflect the nature of each poem. I would like to see the "wave" style that was used in the "Rapids". I'm curious to see the story that each of the six sections tells.

Your review says that you have enjoyed reading this poetry collection. It's good to know, this book is well-organized and properly edited. The best part is, it includes the author's own experiences of a life journey which a reader can relate. Congrats to the author on BOTD!

With section titles such as "Living full" and "Self-reliance," the poems look relevant to a self-conscious person. I would like to read on their positive attributes. Thanks for the review.

The fact that author takes the reader on a journey through his personal experiences and feelings: “Self-Reliance,” “Living Full,” “Nature,” “Joys,” “Sorrows,” and “Care giving” makes the book intriguing. Although I am not a fan of Poetry. I will pass on. Great review anyway.

I like the structured and methodical approach shown in this collection. I also appreciate the variance in structure as poetry can tend to come off a little manufactured otherwise. A great review.

Methodical poetry? Interesting term to use in regards to a collection of poems. I have never understood poetry because of the esoteric quality, but methodical might be useful. Thanks for the great review!

The variety of poems sounds appealing. As I'm not a fan of the poetry, the meticulous side and the easily enjoyed aspect seems to be a great start for me. Thank you for your review!

Sounds like an interesting read for those who have a keen interest toward poetry. I, for one, don't share that same enthusiasm. Thank you for this review!
