By G Keerthana Prasanna

"I express my thoughts as poems whenever I am in solitude. This collection of poems is penned at different spaces. My thoughts are scattered like straw in the wind when I am in the crowd. My mind is at absolute harmony in the morning. Most of the poems have nature as its setting and I am a nature lover and an acrophile. My love for poetry swells when I teach poetry to my students. As a teacher of English I am blessed with the opportunity to teach what I love. This love gradually rows me into writing my thoughts as short poems. I always look around me to choose the subject and sometimes I look into myself. I present my bouquet of gratitude to all the creatures under the Sun for influencing me and shaping my thoughts and persona into an empathetic and sensible woman".
