Apparently, Murtaza’s Puppet seems a collection of poems narrated adequately. However, the fact of the matter is that this anthology is an embodiment of multiple themes which encapsulate common aspects of human life and emotions in his unique style. While reading, one gets goosebumps with every single word. Moreover, his poems are sequenced in a manner to narrate a story of a child from his childhood to his adolescence and adulthood. The subject of his poems progresses in a complete cycle from childhood innocence to emotionally sensitive adolescence and finally towards his maturity and ripeness of his wisdom. Initially he begins with a carefree and curiously adventurous boy who is not scared of taking any risk and moves on without paying a heed to the fears of what people will say or think. The book then advances towards a more complex realities of human life. It reveals the amalgamation of joys and troublesome worries of the narrator and the youth in general. Narration of the lover’s heartbreak leaves the reader with moist eyes. The themes of the anthology are beaded in such a manner that it resonates with the lives of his readers. As for instance, in his poem “A Coffee Mug”, his nostalgia about the beloved leaves not just the lover but the readers with the suspicion about their reunion. He grasps the attention of the reader who feels curious to know what would happen next and hopes for their re-unification.
The Puppet is kept eloquently simple, but thought-provokingly difficult to digest. I believe that the best aspect of this book is his use of short blank verse. The poet’s skillful representation of his subject in his anthology reveals his talent of knowing the worth of every single word. Additionally, he uses the figurative devices such as metaphors, similes and alliteration beautifully and adequately to bring out the desired effect of his work. For instance, his similes of swan, rose and queen for his beloved not only places his beloved at the throne of heavenly beauty but also shows poet’s sensitivity towards nature as well. Murtaza’s Puppet bring forth the element of spirituality and feelings of ecstasy, as in the line “Feeling ecstasy and rising riding the past winds” shows that the narrator has that spark which eventually will empower him to tame and ride the winds.
As a matter of fact, I found this book very impressive because it teaches you how to lead better in life, instead of resentment and remorse. I highly appreciate Murtaza’s efforts in this book and recommend it as a good read. It is an interesting romance of youth, tragedy in a reality and a guide to seek maturity and wisdom.
