Excellent naani poem with perfect artwork and presentation.
Another one I missed before the voting.
Your JSFs are always spot on.

Hi
This is a well written naani poem. It is sad you easily and often divorce happens. So many broken families with just two signatures on pieces of paper.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Have a great rest of the day.
Joan

Thank the Lord! somebody else had done the slightest bit of research to realise these are meant to be about Human relationships; not nature. I wish you luck in the competition I am fast learning they have very little to do with talent, (which you plainly have.

    Wow, thank you for the six and all the kind words! Yes, naani should be about human relationships, nor should they rhyme (which a few of these entries do). It really is the job of the contest creator to make these things clear.

    I struggled to find any information on Naani, just the same thing on two different websites. But I did look. I chase up the competition setter about another one the Senryu as they did not explain how to tell if it is a Senryu or a Haiku. They didn't answer the thread and essentially said ask someone else when I messaged them directly,

    You get better info on the big contests. But your right, clarity is lacking

There is a tremendous amount of backstory implied in this Naani. The divorce seems very acrimonious and you describe HIS expression vividly. Hopefully, child custody won't be another issue. Well done! Rod

    I wanted the reader to make the decision. I feel we don't do that enough on this site. Thank you for a wonderful review.

An excellent entry for the Naani Poetry writing prompt. This Naani poem paints a very accurate word picture complete with the emotion that goes with it. Very nicely written. good luck in the contest

I think that divorce is definitely out of the pit. And marriage the opposite, such a sad, sad time. A great naani poem, as a really good entry in this contest, well done, good luck blessings Roy

    Thank you, Roy, as always. Marriage is hard, but people give up too soon. IMHO

Nice picture art choice.
Met the line and syllable count requirements for this poem type/contest.
Ohh, if looks could kill, right? LOL
And with the stroke of a pen, it's done--all over. Sad state of affairs. *Sigh*

It seems you got the lines and syllable count right for this contest. Your poem was heartbreaking. I don't think the ending of a marriage is usually happy, though, so that makes sense. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Thank you for the review. Yes, it is sad topic, but the reality of it is that it's way too common
