Book-Cover

The cover of book is too simple. Not so attractive or attention seeking.but as said never judge a book by it's cover same is applicable here too.

Poems

The title used for the poems are simple , interesting and catchy . 
I have listed down the titles of  poems
1. I have realized that 
2. The things I never said 
3. A tryst with destiny
4. Do you?
5. Different paths same destinies
6. Nature tales
7. A letter to myself
8. An ode to us
9. I wish
10.That corner of the house
11.The ingredients to happiness
12.Yes I am a flirt
13. Who is a father
14. Chocolate is the answer 
15.A boy's tale
16.A foodies plight
17.A secret affair
18.Believe in love
19. Light and dark
20. What defines a woman
21. What the HR does
22. Free the mind
23. An easy goodbye
24. What matters more
25. Age no barrier


The motive behind this listing was to give you the idea about the content and thoughts in the book.
As for the themes dealt within the poems, the book is a mixed bag. It's fun turning to a new poem and wondering what topic it will be on. Most of her work deals with discrimination, misogyny, and lost love.

The poems are good. Most of them have a strict rhyme scheme but no meter, which basically means that some sentences in the middle are jarringly long in spite of the last words rhyming with each other . The  poetry is supposed to be effortless. A reader isn't supposed to see the effort the poet put in while trying to rhyme. Maybe it would have worked better if the poet had stuck to expressing feelings rather than trying to make her poems rhyme. 
But in overall some poems really worth respect
And poet too for her efforts.

But it’s the memories of school, and of one particular brother, that Victor cannot control and which eventually threaten to destroy his sanity. Smile has all the features for which Roddy Doyle has become famous: the razor-sharp dialogue, the humor, ...
