Now, I am giving you my overall view.
The poet is a very good observer and leaves nothing as negligible. From a very common scene ( which we normally think, nothing much in it or get accustomed to it) he can build up a lovely poem, showing us that something was significant in it. He is very nostalgic to his village and Indian village-life. He loves life and believes in harmony very fervently. There is a constant and continuous will-power prevails in him to come back to the place he started his life. ( Here I feel sad for the poet apprehending that probably things are not as it were in the village-life. In that case, selfishly I wait that he would compose some stronger poems from his disillusionment).
Apart from all the above strong points in his writing, I feel that if he can give some importance to beats in his poems, it will be more interesting. It can only be known if someone recites the poems.

Rushi, I was absolutely honest in giving my opinion.
