There’s a Budding Writer in the Park !

Forever Let Me Go is a collection of poems that make you laugh, cry, ponder and remember. Emmanuel Sigauke picks on a myriad of subjects to express his emotions. These are emotions that everyone can truly identify with. He has different styles of writing his poems but my ultimate favourite are the ones where he is very descriptive. This style helps and guides the reader to picture his colourful imaginations.
For me the unforgettable poems are the fresh and inviting 'Budding Writer in the Park', the emotionally drenched "Remembering Mother" and then the extremely abrupt "Taking it to Another Level"
The poem "Taking it to Another Level" is about a sweet relationship gone bad. It starts like this -"I Have known every atom of you that has absorbed into every aorta of mine...." Then the last line ends with the two sadly breaking up !! "Until at last we say: 'Honey let's see other people.'"
Forever Let Me go is a collection of poems that you can keep in your library and pull it out at your leisure when you want to be taken on a journey of love, life and nostalgia. Emmanuel Sigauke is a Zimbabwean poet that is 'on the go' to achieve new heights in the world of poetry - to express the heart of life from his seasoned experiences and journeys throughout the world. In the title poem Forever Let Me Go he says: " I will keep on going until I am a spark in the eyes that see me go"
The poetic style of Emmanuel Sigauke will truly leave a spark in your eye. A satisfied spark that says - "I will never Let you go"
