'Fifty Poems on Nature and Life' by Sharika Muthu is a collection of short poems in English. Each poem germinated in the author's mind from a sudden idea, a flash of inspiration, a dreamy reverie - sometimes, even a mundane observation. These fleeting moments became the 'fuel' for the 'fire' of her poetry. A flower, a butterfly, even a leaf - the author sees these as tiny, humble bits of life that deserve to be celebrated.
