Author Notes
6/6/6/5 = 23

The saying goes = "A wolf in sheep's clothing" is an idiom of Biblical origin used to describe those playing a role contrary to their real character with whom contact is dangerous

Mathew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheeps' clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."

The pictures are from 'The Black Phone'. It's a 2021 American supernatural horror movie.. In the film, an abducted teenager uses a mysterious telephone to communicate with the previous victims of his deranged captor.

NAANI, is an Indian poetic form. It's very similar to Japanese poetic forms, in that it has a set line- and syllable-count. It has 4-lines and a total 20-25 syllables. It's usually about nature or human relations but not strictly. The lines are grammatically connected and never rhyme.
