<\/a>Fusion: Poems of Life<\/a> by Balroop Singh<\/a>\nMy rating: 4 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n
Unfortunately, I was unable to find very much understanding and empathy with this collection of Balroop Singh\u2019s poems, as I have with others of hers that I have read in the past. Perhaps I am being too subjective about it, but while I accept that her poems are in the \u2018Free Form\u2019 style of presentation, I found quite a lot of them lacked some necessary punctuation. This meant for me, that through the various stanzas they failed to maintain the imagery and meaning there for the reader.<\/p>\n
Normally I am much fonder of \u2018Traditional\u2019 poetry and tend to look for structure and metre, and even the occasional rhyme and alliteration. Without some of these things then I hope to find enough rhetorical language etc. in free verse for my enjoyment of a poem. I quite enjoyed Singh\u2019s poems entitled \u2018Moon Melodies,\u2019 \u2018Beyond Time\u2019 and \u2018Spring\u2019 and found them uplifting enough to possibly fulfil the aims of the poet. In Moon Melodies I found alliteration and two rhyming couplets!<\/p>\n
I feel that it was within the spirit of the poet\u2019s intentions to make one reflect upon the ups-and-downs of life, and even to make one have a more positive attitude about things as a result. But, as I said at the start of this review the \u2018anything goes\u2019 ideas behind this free style collection needed more attention for me to enjoy a lot more of it.<\/p>\n
