This is so cute and clever! It would be impossible to read this Naani without a huge smile on one's face. It is such a fun poem and exactly as a Naani should be. Good luck in the contest. (You won't need it,)

A naani poem? Hm. That's a very interesting poem and you pulled it off it seems. I've never heard of this poem but am sure I'll be reading a lot of them for this contest. Great job.

Hello Friend,
What a MARVELOUS piece of Spiritual Poetry in the form of 'Naani' this is!
Meeting the desired norms; Impressive plus meaningful phraseology; Enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting its theme - The poet's Prayer to the Almighty, and the same is granted instantly as well as with an outstanding splendor!
Picture enhances depth and beauty of the poem.
Hey the shining Star, you certainly deserve to be honored with the SPARKLING Star!
Superb!!
BEST OF LUCK in the contest.

You have made excellent use of your few syllables in your uplifting, deeply spiritual naani. The message is powerful. To me it says God will bless me and enable me to do wonderful things if I truly believe in His love and power.

I like this form. Always have. So much freedom to create -- simply a syllabic parameter between twenty and twenty-five. There is a wit about your write that leaves me smiling. Like God has a thing for irony! Clever post! Prayers should be more specific! (smile)--

A great entry for this contest, good luck. I think you really hit the nail on the head for the contest, excellent content for so few words. I did have to laugh at the end. Careful sometimes you get what you ask for. Good job.

This is a very clever play on words and reminds me of the old saw, "Be careful what you wish for." There is something exciting about imagining being way out "there" and having planets spinning around you.

    Thanks, Sue. I probably should change that prayer and choose my words more carefully.

This is a beautifully written Naani concerning a conversation with God, (which is true if one thinks of prayer, it should be dialogue) so yes, I've never wanted to a literal star, I'd rather be in His image. An excellent post, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
