Very nice job with the structure of your naani. And I admire your
'play' on words with 'serve it back.' Nice volley.
But the whole 'make lemonade out of lemons' saw is pretty
well worn at this point.

Peace, Lee

You chose the perfect topic for your uplifting, well-written naani. When I taught school, I displayed a poster with the caption "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

That's a good idea. Who doesn't like lemonade? Lemons have lots of uses, so why complain about them? The world may not get its lemons back tho. Hurl one at me, and it's mine. LOL Good luck in the contest.

A great message placed into a creative Naani format poem. Best of Luck in the contest. The syllable count compliant word choice and photo included with your posting are excellent.

A very well-written Naani with good advice to not let any one bowl you out and caught you off guard. Make the best of every bad situation and hit them back with a curve ball.

You've done a great job of this Naani, a little less strict than its cousins, I thought it was done in four lines, but I'm not sure. (It's been a long time since I wrote one) but beautifully done, you did it in 20, and the subject and wording is excellent, good luck, blessings Roy

Amazing poem I like how you twisted the whole concept of the lemonade into a nice parabole :"catch them, squeeze them dry,
make lemonade, serve it back!"
Good luck with the contest and thank you for sharing.
