About The Book

PROLOGUE The English poems I have written are only capsules to include contemporary society and the continuing conflict of human nature with the parabolic generation shift. I prefer describing changing times, the landscape, customs, habits, and reformation through practices. Love emphasizes human love, kindness, and sympathy, the soft part of human existence. Many poems highlight child education, women’s empowerment, and literacy drive cleanness for bright aspects of human life. I never forgot to focus on nature and earth, critical factors for preservation and rebuilding destroyed forest land and disturbed climate. The first attempt at my poems while reshaping to a book, PETALS, is mostly 60 lines, approximately 300 words each. Each poem is based on the above mentioned issues or ensuing current events. I shall never fail to express my gratitude to Google, Facebook, Cambridge Dictionary, and Spell-checker for the best helpful cyberspace online services. Without countless information through Google Search and English meanings for words through the Cambridge Dictionary online service, I feel it would not be possible to write on varied topics with the right words. The Spell Checker helped with typing errors that could not have been eliminated and corrected. I remember the constant inspiration of Mrs. Shinaya Ali, Pakistan, and Mrs. Gertrud Resch, Austria. And many poet friends on Facebook. Their observation messages have given me enough courage to write this book.
