Book Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

If I write a book,
Would I approach
You to write its
Review?

Why?

If my book is
Worth reading,
Wouldn't you be
Tempted to write
Its review?

Why should I
Use you for its
Marketing and
Publicity?

If you like my book,
You'll yourself feel like
Sharing with everybody

It's an instinct
That comes
Naturally…

We believe in
Loving and giving,
And so if we genuinely
Like something,
We'll recommend it
Or choose it for gifting

So if I write a book,
I'll never beseech you
To write its review

I would rather wait
For you to feel free
To read it and perhaps
Write its review…
