Your naani poem is so true. What we think of as riches do not cost a lot. Family, friends, health, love and happiness could make me quite happy even though I am poor. Good luck in the contest! Debbie

Hi, Debbie. Thanks for your lovely review and yes, those things bring much more happines than money (although some of the latter does help sometimes ...) Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

Great entry for the Naani contest, Marijke. I'm sure it will be a strong contender in the competition. Within just 25 syllables you've packe quite a powerful message. I wold re-classify it under the philosophical category. Good luck in the contest, my friend.

I love the lines; "You're rich if you have family, frineds, love, happiness and healty." I say amen to your poetic adivce. I wish youg good luck in the Naani contest. Keep up the excellent writing, my friend.

Comment from Shirley McLain
Beautiful poem and so very true. There is nothing more in this life that is so meaningful. I love the picture and coloration, it sets the poem off perfectly.

Comment from aernby
an interesting form, nicely realized. Mechanically and poetically the piece without flaw.
Philosophically I have some problems. Can one be considered rich and lack one or more of the five criteria? (btw, I like the way that you arrange them in alphabetical order, nice touch.) What about someone with a chronic disease?
a good write, one that raises a lot of questions

Thank you, I appreciate your kind comments and generous rating. Of course, you are right! Unfortunately the syllable count didn't let me elaborate, my friend. I guess I tried to show that money isn't everything. It is the perception of the individual of how they consider themselves wealthy. Warnest regards, Marijke :o)

There is nothing to argue with in this well written short piece of poetic thinking. I liked the positive message it has. This was my pleasure to have read and written a response for... John

Comment from moyramouse
What true sentiments expressed very simply but meaningfully.
I am staggered about how many forms of poetry there are. I must have gone through life in a bubble, which has now burst. I have learnt so much from this site and the amazing writers and reviewers.
I liked your artwork but wished they had taken their logo off the centre of it. x moyramouse

Moyra, I too am staggered as the the vast numbers of poems. As I come across them I try to odd one, but leave some well enough alone! Thanks for your warm comments (yes pity about the logo, but I still enjoyed the artwork) and your generous rating. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)
