Shyam Sushil +1
- Rating:
- Book Type:
- Description: Shyam Sushil's 26 poems are funny, witty. Rooted in our everyday life, you wouldn't find a poem without humour. This is the most neglected province of Hindi poetry. Children will not only read this but also transcend its boundaries to write their own poems and hum them. Another quality of these poems is its simplicity. These poems play with language by taking it away from its prevalent meaning. At times, you will find poems that build on the commonly used play songs. All poems would easily become your own...you would hear them once and find yourself humming soon after. Gauravi Sharma has made beautiful collages for each one of these poems.
