Official Review: Short Poems, Long Tales by Rashid Osmani

[Mariana Figueira]

I usually wouldn't go for poetry but this sounds beyond amazing. Thanks for the recommendation!

I often avoid poetry because I feel like I don’t “get” the larger meaning/significance the poet is trying to get across. This sounds like a good book to get into poetry because, like you said, each poem is very short and even if I didn’t fully get one, there would probably be another I would connect to. I’ll have to give it a try sometime. Thanks for the review!

' I admit to genuinely enjoying one poem while finding the next to be wanting.'
I think that's a good observation, one that holds true for other forms of artistic expression as well. If you listen to a music album, chances are you'll like some songs better than others. I suppose it's just how we respond to things. Great review!

I agree completely. I wanted people to understand I didn’t enjoy every one of the poems, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from trying it because they might enjoy a poem that I just didn’t understand.

I was almost put off by 101 poems but luckily, they are short. It sounds like the author covered a lot of topics, it will be interesting to read his take. Thanks for the insightful review !

I don't often enjoy reading poems, but seeing this book contains diverse topics I will give it a try.
The poems have profound themes on philosophy and religion as well as other thought-provoking stuff.
Thank you for the review.

[Kaushiki Parihar]

Since the poems are written on multitude of topics. I'm curious to find the poem which will resonate the most with me. Thanks for the great recommendation.

Thanks for your review. Despite their length, it looks like the 101 short poems in this book will tell us a lot of things.

[Bertha Jackson]

This sounds like a book of poems that will grab the reader's heartstrings and emotions. Thank you for your review.

What I like most is how the reviewer points out that not all poems might be suitable for the reader, but you would find poems that are. I admire the soul that is put into poetic works. It truly comes from within; shows you the substance of the poet

I don't read enough poetry books, so I'm definitely interested in this one! Loved your review! Thank you!

Today's BOTD is a collection of short poems that touch on serious subject ranging from gender and religion to life, death, and beyond. Well-written and professionally edited, these poems are sure to spark an array of emotions and leave you thinking about them long after you're finished. Thank you again for the great review!
