Page 6 - SHAPES OF LOVE

Encomium Preface
Creativity has no frontier, no conjecture and no prearranged credence. Creativity chastely promises sensible solace. Poetry is
akin to comforting consensus; it fosters and elevates on us with apiece fleeting instant and dallies in reminiscence. Poetry
with Pictorial appeal is substantial as the visual impression has an everlasting effect. Pictorial Poetry is a sort of art which
accords apiece poet to express and impress their aficionado relating to visual illumination. I am pleased to pen my feelings
for Mr. K. C. Sethi and Mrs. Sunita Sethi, a vibrant couple, formerly from Punjab, settled in Daman from 1996, promoting
Pictorial Poetry universally. Their latest Coffee Table Book titled “SHAPES OF LOVE,” an Anthology of Pictorial Poetry
is a pleasing pictorial binder of 87 poems from 48 poets, all across the orb. The compilers appear to have already clasped the
competence of ingenuity and imagination. They have crafted apiece germane imagery for the assorted feelings of the poets
meticulously and have adorned their mark on apiece poem in the inimitable Coffee Table Pictorial Poetry Book.
The finest fragment of the assortment of poems in the said Anthology is that it covers apiece emotion showcased by an
individual and the allied pertinent image acts as icing on the cake. The assortment of pictorial poems bearing shades from
life is an enthralling engrossment for the connoisseur of poetry.
The theme of the Anthology is exceedingly fascinating as the coined theme is “My Love a Silence and My Love a Feel,”
which epitomizes the very essence of love and rapport, where feel has utmost implication and silence speaks volume.
Silent imageries and tacit verses reveal the actual implication.
Love silences detractors and makes them feel the crux.
Love is alluring, love is mesmeric, love is unending.
I express my candid approbation to Mr. K. C. Sethi and Mrs. Sunita Sethi for not only endorsing a fresh concept but
also abetting other writers, by all means, to publish their individual project in the matching genre. I wish the adorable
couple enormous success in their ensuing Anthology of love poetry titled “Shapes of Love” and wish them finest of
providence for copious prospective endeavors. I penned these lines for “Shapes of Love” from my core:
Shapes of love are fairly diverse
Echoing angst and bliss mutually
Sudden hiatus, consequential hush
Blossoming, to be savored perpetually
With Love...

“Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.”
Voltaire
The first ever anthology of many poets on love -a silence and love -a feel, has been published in a Coffee table pictorial book
by Mr. K.C. Sethi and Sunita Sethi .The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched , but
just felt in the heart. This coffee table book- SHAPES OF LOVE is going to make your heart see and also feel the pulse of
many poets intense emotions and deep feelings. Love in these poems is a force more formidable than any other with
pictures to illustrate its power which will offer you joy beyond apprehension. The concept of love has a holistic tone and
tenor that is meant to hurt none but to serve one another like a friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding,
mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Love is a fruit of all seasons at all times and within reach of every hand although invisible to the eye like the wind. Love is the
quintessence of human life and the exuberant force that satiates the creative urge of the poet who feels the height of
romance with full intensity.
The poetry of silent love felt from the purity of heart is imbued with simplicity marked with loyalty and innocence.
Without love , this world is a futile place to live in. Selfless and silent love is the most abiding , indelible, interminable and
everlasting feel that exists in this universe without any ego and complexity. Love as such is not possessive, dominating and
destroying in its composition. The silent love of enduring nature is unselfish as portrayed in the poems. The lyrics reflect
on love that is comprehensive in nature harbouring no ill will and everything associated with it attains a beauty of
perfection in various colours and hues. Poetry has got the capacity to soothe our emotions and therefore these poems are
food for our soul.
SHAPES OF LOVE , is an immaculately woven tapestry of poetry and pictures exemplifying images beyond description
of words. This book is a consummate book of pictorial poetry that is a handiwork of artistic masterpiece. I wish the poets
great success in their creative journey.
