( Disclaimer:
I am too amateur a poet;
To even attempt writing a sonnet..
So please pardon this flimsy attempt at rhyme;
No match to Seth\’s verses- wonderful and sublime…)
I picked up this book on a whim;
It ended up shattering many a literary paradigm..
An entire novel written in verse form!!
With prose so rich that it has an innate charm!
What begins as a story of restless and young;
Soon turns into tales of heart unsung….
As it\’s characters meet, date and love,
Like they were meant to be hand in glove..
Alas fate throws many a surprise twist;
Leaving estranged couples longing for their tryst..
Into this narrative Seth magically weaves,
A gamut of complex emotions that the reader perceives..
But his genius lies in his wordplay,
A writing so evocative, it makes your heart sway..
Through his at-times-deft and at-times-languid prose,
He conveys effortlessly, his characters\’ many woes..
Seth spins his yarn with such masterful strokes,
Its hard to remain unaffected by feelings it invokes..
Be prepared to be swept off by this tide;
For the journey to this Golden gate is a delightful ride!
(P.S.: A legit reason for this temporary inanity you see,
Is that Seth managed to wake the dormant poet in me)
