One of the fascinating things about the collection of poems is that the poet is able to convey what was implied during the phase of writing. Simple English was used to convey thoughts and in most cases.
The collection of poems will give the reader an idea of how we normally look at life and how different it is when looked from a different perspective.
There are many things in our life which we see through during our day to day life where we take things for granted. Once we start skimming through the lines of the poem it gives the reader a some to think. Various philosophies of life (Optimistic, pessimistic, pantheistic, mystical, cynical, etc) are covered within the collection.
The rhyme scheme and assonance are used wherever applicable which actually adds to the charm of the poem.There is intimacy in this poems collection which includes most of the phases of life from Birth to Race to Grave. The Poet also used metaphor to an extend to express the ideas which are itself a big plus.
The book Drenched Heart makes the collection of poems more subtle and correct. Even while considering the title of each of the poems individually the gesture has been maintained.
Overall I would give the poem 4/5 since I go consider the poet has done a marvelous job and has a lot of potentials. wishing the poet a great future ahead.
I would recommend fellow readers to have read of the poem collection, you would get something new to think and wonder each time you read it.
