AFZAL SHAUQ…A POET OF LIFE
Ernanie. I. Pepito
Afzal Shauq is my friend and we have been sharing knowledge since three years… means I, being a teacher in English literature and he as a poet.
I have been always inspired of his rich thoughts and poetry and it is my good luck that he respects my poor suggestions while I admit to him at the end of my abilities .
Peace, love, life with new angles, humanity and criticizing the cruel behavior of mankind in present time , brightened hopes and dreams for future are the main topics of Afzal Shauq’s poetry. He presents ideas with his own way of thinking, which may considered by critics …as fighting against the air OR innovative approach towards the reality.
The themes of Afzal’s poetry are not as easy to interpret as the words he uses for expression. He speaks in easy way but keeps presenting the ideas in a philosophical way , which may keep the readers think of seriously.
His approach is a realistic in deed… pointing out the men… Its behavior and its relations towards WHO CREATES THEM .
