Summary

Seasons, words, the eternal bond, grace, Being, best friend, last of fall are my favourite poems. The poems to look up to every time you feel lost. It’s a short, light read that you can opt for over a cup of tea. The Guava tree is a perfect blend of emotions, just like the changing seasons, and Jaskiran penned it beautifully.

Review

Go with the seasons, I always say this. just like changing seasons and situations, we grow and become a better version of ourselves. Our journey is our best teacher. We will get better every day by enhancing ourselves, isn’t it? Accept, Learn and move on has been my mantra and Jaskiran’s poems are like a reminder.

Jaskiran Tiwana’s The Guava tree is a collection of beautiful poems making you fall in love with her words and yourself first. Just like the changing seasons, Jaskiran’s poems talk about human emotions and evolution. Based on themes like self-love, relationships, gratitude nature, hope, and appreciating the beauty around us, the author takes us to the world of emotions.

With her words, Jaskiran creates a different connection with her readers, these poems are an experience of their own. It’s a combination of Deep, light and delightful poems that will make you feel pause for a while and smile. She makes the basics practices that we follow every day and the changing patterns more charismatic with her words.

The remains of this and that
remembrances of things past
the sum of all that has been done
that once left us ecstatic and woebegone.

~ Jaskiran Tiwana

The raw and pleasant writing style of the author with depth in her words, the poems are short, crisp and beautifully expressed. What I loved most about this book is the choice of words, the simplicity in each poem and the way they make you feel content. Her words are powerful and calming at the same time. That rawness and freshness in her writing style make the reader fall in love with her book more and more.

The author makes the readers fall in love with themselves. Her poems are about knowing your own worth and appreciating that, putting ourselves first, being our own best friends first. Her poems are like Ying and Yang, reflecting reality.

Poems like Ritual, Autumn, the full moon rises, Seasons, words, the eternal bond, grace, Being, best friend, last of fall are my favourite poems. The poems to look up to every time you feel lost. It’s a short, light read that you can opt for over a cup of tea.

The Guava tree is a perfect blend of emotions, just like the changing seasons, and Jaskiran penned it beautifully. A delightful read.

It all starts with yourself
whispering in your own ears
‘Be good to others but first thyself’

~Jaskiran Tiwana
