A naani poem in 24 syllables.

In His Burning Bed

by LisaMay


How can a man lie straight

In his burning bed?

When truth is stretched and twisted,

A clean sheet is required.


 



Naani Poetry writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a Naani poem within the structure listed below. Any subject, but it must conform to the Naani structural guidelines.


Naani is one of Indian's most popular Telugu poems. Naani means an expression of one and all. It consists of 4 lines, the total lines consists of 20 to 25 syllables. The poem is not bounded to a particular subject. Generally it depends upon human relations and current statements. This poetry was introduced by one of the renowned Telugu poets Dr. N.Gopi, presently working as vice-chancellor to Telugu University, Andhra Pradesh.


Author's Note:
As this is my first Naani poem, I tried to concentrate on one of the suggested requirements: "Generally it depends upon human relations and current statements".
Therefore, to reflect a current situation and human relations, this poem suggests that when lies are involved in a hotbed of intrigue, our domestic equanimity is threatened and we need a new start.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
