A very well-written Naani. Change is a big part of our lives. Nothing stays the same forever. We must learn to adjust and accept changes to enhance our lives.

This naani, Winds of Change, uses twenty-four syllables in these four lines to remind us that change IS occuring about us. Some subtle, some dynamic, but all possibly irreversible.

Superb naani, universal in scope and applicable, though I recommend finding a fresher phrasing for 'winds of change' since it is quite a cliche phrasing. I wonder if there is an apt synonym for wind or change to make it sound more unique? The last two lines bring power to this poem. Bravo. Great presentation. A strong contender.
Good luck!

Warmly, rd

Excellent Naani poem makes an astute observation using very few words. Beautiful choice of artwork (although it makes me want to shorten her dress so she won't slip on it, LOL). I see no errors. Great job!

    Thanks so much. I wasn?t able to add that obsevTion to the poem, but I saw it too. It made me think the rippling wind could cause her to trip on it even though she seems in total control. Oh well..... too few words, and so much to say. Haha. Thanks again. Melissa

I love every single word of this. I particularly like your central--that of winds of change blowing through our lives. They can be hurricane force sometimes, and they certainly make me feel out of control. Movement all the time. Such a well expressed poem--every word a truth. And the photo is superb. Even; though I know she is in total control of her body, it looks as though winds are blowing her up and away. Thank you for the complete package here. I enjoyed the read.

Yes some pearls of wisdom reflected here in this Naani as to how our lives roll out and how sometimes events can be outside of our control 'challenging our .....control'.

Hello Mystery Writer,
Your words speak a great deal of wisdom. Unfortunately, for me, I do not handle change very well...at all. Working on it...all my adult life...but it is not easy. Your words flow well; however, there is no need for the semi-colon at the end of the third line.

Best Wishes!

Hello author
I like the picture of how the wind is blowing the lady with her flowing dress and these lines tell us of how by
creating ripples of movement;
challenging our resolve and control.
