Lol, my last reviewed book was a poem. Some poems do speak to your inner person. It yanks them out and enlightens you. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for your review Shravsi. I have never come across the term introspective reading before, but I see what you mean. As I generally don' read poetry, I am glad your review makes it clear that this is essentially a book of poems. I do enjoy hearing people's take on the world around us, so despite my usual aversion to poetry, this might be an interesting read for me.

Introspective poetry is definitely something I'll enjoy. I appreciate the various themes and ease and intensity of the poems. Congratulations on the botd.

I haven’t read a poem before, but I’ve come across a lot of reviews that taps well about a poem. I hope this will be good.

Thank you for your great review. I am so glad that you enjoyed this book. I like the idea of poetry, but any more I don't understand it. It sounds like those that do like this genre will greatly appreciate this book.

I'm a poet, as well, so I'm already intrigued by what topics the author discusses because it shows what issues or life scenarios that interest him. Congratulations to the author for having the BOTD.

This book brings several poems about different themes, such as relationahips and death, but it also has philosophical themes and humorous approaches too. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

An interesting compilation of poetry that addresses contemporary issues and concerns. I'm pleased to see that there is variety in the poems and that they are written in both free verse and rhyme. It's certainly a book I want to read. Thanks for this interesting review.

I can get behind a good book of well-written poetry any day. This one seemed to hit an array of topics which gives some diversity throughout. Great review
