| A Naani With Your Naan Bread Brief statements Precise and taut with meaning Send the truth As an arrow to the soul. Line count: 4 Form: Naani - four lines, a total of 20 to 25 syllables. For Promptly Poetry Challenge, Week 26 2023 Prompt: Naani. Note: I think I should point out that the examples given in the link supplied do not meet the criteria for naanis. None of them has as many as 20 syllables. In discussion with Andrea, we have come to the conclusion that they are literal translations (and badly at that since they don’t make much sense) without regard for syllable counts. Not complaining, just pointing it out so that others don’t become confused. |
