The opening poem, Request for Love, is a lover’s plea full of rain, roses and sleepless nights. The poet describes growing roses for his beloved and watering them with his tears, while the moon keeps him company. A Fish on the Hook turns a small image into a picture of struggle and helplessness, with a creature caught on the line and longing to be free and swim again. Other titles touch on social issues such as the dowry system, on the bond between parent and child, and on the masks people wear.

The poems use easy rhymes and plain words, which makes them pleasant for students and anyone learning to enjoy English poetry. Each one is signed by the poet, and the collection is short enough to read in a single sitting.
