<poem>

I would regard meanings given by others so far as refreshing boon, I would still be enamored of rose or any heartless flower's smell if tender tides of your affection had not suffused the pollen of my heart with loving aroma. modulations of my song, images of my poetry, my life story, all would be making a tedious dumb run with no destination sans beauty like sultry gusts of drought that flow over leafless treetops

</poem>

Writings[edit]

Suman Pokhrel is described as a poet with a strong tender voice.[6] Indian writer and critic Anuja Ghosh says, "Suman Pokhrel's poem Children creates tenderness in the mind. It is indescribable the way the poet has drawn out the innocence of children metaphorically with Nature. The rhetoric question at the end leaves an indelible mark in the minds of the reader. Whereas in his poem You Are, as You Are [archive], he exudes humility in expressing love. The importance of love quotient in one's life is spelled in this poem, a simple submission almost in the form of a ritual. There is an abundance of sublime purity in his expression of love."[33]

Love is a feeling, and its expression is an art.[34]
Suman Pokhrel

One of Suman Pokhrel's most quoted poems,[35][36] "Every Morning" emphatically declares the uncertainty of existence. It comes as a rude shock that how casually we take everything for granted. In a world which is filled with a plethora of violence, tragedy and devaluation of life the poet seeks gratitude for his being. His poem Every Morning is like a gentle reminder to mankind.[33]
