She is the co-author of the best selling books and has won many awards as certificates from international anthologies, magazines and poetry groups.The title of the book as “Humanity and Morality in Essence “speaks about the book. I myself being a poet write mostly on the same themes as written on by this inspiring, encouraging and motivational Poetess, Ms. Til Kumari Sharma. I suggest the youth, especially poetry lovers to hold this book in their hands once as it contains the beneficial messages for them. The beautifully crafted poems in the book are about varied themes like peace, harmony, morality, human tragedy, God, true love, a daughter’s rights, misuse of drugs, complexities of life, so on. After going through and analysing few of her poems, I came to know about the poetess’s love, positive mind for youth and her society. Her verses are a sort of protest against drug addiction, injustice to daughters, suicidal attempts and other evils in her or other societies. The poems though crafted in simple diction, have the power to affect the readers’ heart and mind immensely but positively. The verses of the Poetess really reveal anger and dejection at the evils spreading alarmingly in her society.
Now I would throw light briefly on few of her poems taken from this book of poetry.
One poem from the book is titled as; “POWER OF YOUTH IN LEADERSHIP”.
The youth as powerful and energetic
The education of leadership should be
Given in early period.
This Poem has a powerful message in it about the leadership education for the youths to lead their nation well. The Poetess through this poem says that youths have the power and energy to lead their nation well. It’s only possible when leadership qualities, like integrity, honesty, good decision making skills are developed in them from their early years for the betterment of their nation/ country.
Another poem in this book is: EFFECTS OF ADDICTION “
This poem has also a fruitful message for youths advising them not to get addicted to drugs as drug addiction affects mental health, and drugs addicts also suffer from lung or heart disease, cancer with this and their life becomes a ruin and they become burden on their families and nation.
One more poem in this book is titled as; THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE.
According to my analysis, the Poetess has versified her sufferings and the difficulties being faced by her and what she yearns for, is also contained in the poem.
Another poem in the book is ; “LIFE VERSUS DEATH”
In this poem the Poetess tells us about life and death and what things cause death are also contained in the poem. The poetry lovers will buy the book to know more on their own.
Another interesting poem in the book is titled as; “MY LIGHT IS MY POETRY”
Yes, my poetry is my light in darkness.
The poetic lines reach where the sun can not.
These are the opening lines of the poem. According to what
I got from the poem is that the Poetess wants to say that poetry for her is a joy in sorrows as light symbolises happiness. Writing poetry about the sufferings lightens her heart.
One more poems in the book is: Don’t Walk on MY Grave
The poem reveals the abhorrence in the heart of the Poetess likely for her own people because of whom she has suffered. How and what she suffered from, poetry lovers will know on their own.
This is a brief light that I have thrown on the award winning Poetess’s this poetry book.
Hope poetry lovers will buy and enjoy reading it.
I wish more power the poetess’s pen.
