Why A to Z – poem for an Idiom by Prakash Hegade?<\/h3>\n
\n

I know Prakash from NaNoWriMo 2016. He was true inspirer, taking lead, arranging virtual write ups and encouraging us all to join in. When I first found out about his theme in A to Z Challenge, it amazed me – An idiom for that day’s alphabet followed by poetry!<\/p>\n

I will be honest, poetry is not my cup of tea. Whenever I attempted to write poetry, it didn’t look anything like one remotely. As a result, I have the utmost respect for those who write beautiful poetry. Prakash has taken it to a whole new level by taking up an idiom for an alphabet and write poetry for that. I was awestruck by the creativity behind the idea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Highlights of the book<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

I finished the book in one go. I couldn’t keep it down once I started enjoying it. The best part was all of them were so simple, poetic and yet logical (I always thought logic & poetry don’t go hand in hand).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
