This thin book Returning home ... Prose, Poetry and Senryu consisting of 140 pages, is just a package with a number of antidotes and gold nuggets. In fact, Jan Oscar Hansen surpassed this book. The first poem, The October Mood, creates a scene for the rest of the book. One could easily identify oneself with reality in the following verses of this poem: “A dead turtle on the road, thrown out of a fast car, / someone was fed up with eating a pet, which only ate salad / and silently lived under the sink”. Kindness, this is compared to people throwing their cats and dogs when they move for different reasons. This is the reality of today's financial situation. But why kill them? Instead, they could be taken to the pet store and left there for those who may need a pet.
If you are really looking for a great laugh, read “Fado Concert” more than once. In the final you will smile. Politics certainly plays a funny roll in some parts of society. After all, who wants to hear the mayor give a political speech at the end of the concert after he enjoys a wonderful evening of pleasure and relaxation? One more thing, “Party Times” will also make you go. Who would not remember those days, the weather is real or in the movies? Events such as those written in this poem are, of course, a renewal of memory.
Filtration of Senryu, Haiku and Tank poems through the book will give you a quick laugh. Take this senriu, for example: "An ugly woman / Deserves a dazzling poem / Every morning." Wow I had to take a walk and return to my place after reading these lines; however, I held the book in my hand with my thumb on the page, and I was still laughing.
"Picnic" is a great poem. One might guess that it is better to deal with ants if it rains on your parade. In Florida, I had to deal with cockroaches. They jumped all over the picnic basket. However, I would prefer to have ants in this case. As for the problem after, we took off, and later found a cockroach trying to hide between the rear seats. Creatures! I had to quickly kick him. He entered with a picnic blanket. One would assume that the trunk of the car, where there is a picnic, can be a dangerous place.
The poem "Misfit", of course, you need to think about. It must have been a whole day! After all the experiences we have experienced, I think I will drink the drinks, and not listen to someone who is trying to order them. What is the wrong identification? It shows the degree of a person’s memory when it comes to names and individuals. However, as they watched the boat disappear forever, they did get a message telling me to say something. Now, what's really funny !!!
This book of poems also takes you on a journey. As a sailor, you could see a few travel poems to balance the book’s balance. The poems are very scenic, and each of them has a unique story. Starting with the “Disappearing Burro of Portugal,” looking or philosophizing under a carob tree; to “Kashmir” and the metaphor of the dead soldiers ”, then“ Last visit (Norway) ”and churches, with payment for“ Villages in Afghanistan ”and women in colorful shawls, and then ending“ Spanish evening ”and red wine for enjoyment Calcutta, which itself belongs to geography, this mini-tour around the world captures the reader.
This book is serious, but at the same time humorous. Thought is not an oxymoron, it is connected with contrasting images with figurative language that appeal to the senses. In this book, you can see the symbolism associated with life, just by reading the line. Something will grab you in verse, this is one way, a form or a form while reading. The syntactic flow of the word is also uplifted and stimulated.
This is a great book to read and easy to read. I really like the picture on the cover. I hope this is not the ship that was lost. If not, then happy to swim my friend and stay at the helm. As stated in the last senry in the book, love may be overvalued; however, it keeps us sane. Taking this into account, of course, you need to achieve a wonderful end. According to the French borrowed in English "Bon Voyage Captain!"
