I relished your artwork selection with its heart image and your choice of the naani form, which we don't see often enough. Your reference to the "book of relationships" is profound. Best wishes in the contest with this splendid poem about love- Joan

Thanks, Joan. I also like the naani.

This naani, True Love, with its twenty-four syllables, speaks of the benefits of a true love as having do-overs and forgiveness built in to ensure a relationship lasts.

This is a fabulous naani, and so well written I had to give it a "six". As someone that has been married for 42 years, the line "the virtues of acceptance and forgiveness" says it all in my humble opinion. The presentation is also perfect - "love is two imperfect people that don't give up on each other" This is a quote I carry in my heart. Beautiful

I find this poem to be quite lovely! I agree that these are very important aspects in a successful, loving relationship. The way you have written this really seems to pull that meaning out. Also, I love the artwork you placed with this poem. Well done!

This is a wonderful entry for the contest; it's so very true, and sage advice for those who are just starting out. In fact, I can actually see that being wedding vows, albeit the blood business a little too easy to picture...(LOL). But that book could be a book of poetry, beginning with this naani poem...

A very well-written Naani poem. True love gives more than it takes. Always forgive the one you love and accept each other's differences.

Author,
this incredible short work is truly a work of art. It's philosophical value alone should be plastered on every billboard across the miles, reminding humanity relationships are valuable and should heed to due respect of each other's shortcomings. Best wishes with the contest.. jlsavell

Very nice Nanni , It was a wonderful statement in the world of love and beautifully illustrated both in words and picture. Forgiveness and acceptance are probable two of the most words truly connected with love.
