  2. How nice to see another poem by Paresh. I enjoy the observations of very "ordinary" human experiences in his work – in spirit akin to Buson.

    From the abruptness of the opening to the closing word "rumble", I detect and enjoy a sense of playfulness, and everyday familial humour. Life is full of such moments, and we are all the richer when a poet like Paresh helps us learn to see and capture the poetry of them.
