Your naani is very well-written, appealing, and descriptive. It conveys a message about generations, how the older ones can influence the young ones, can encourage them to take a good path. CUTE child

    Awe Janice, you are so sweet. He must have been destined to take over for us because a child at three doesn't usually become so obsessed with something like farming and keep that love for so long. He's an old soul kind of boy who doesn't even care about getting a cell phone. Ooops, Lol, do you recognize the proud grandma? Sorry for going on and on. Thank you my friend for your lovely review and comments!

This naani, The Field of Dreams, presented with four lines and twenty-three syllables, allows the readers a glimpse at the future farmer of America. Sweet.

Equally in love with your Naani and your author's notes. These ARE the things dreams are made of! What a joy to know the farm will pass to a new generation. What a comfort that at thirteen this young man has not been lured away by the promise of hi-tech, low-yield, "crops" of money.

Super good.

    Thanks so much my friend for the lovely review. We are so blessed that this boy realized at only three and still realizes that it is his dream to work those fields and make them his own. Thank you again for the awesome review my friend.

This would be a dream come true for a little one to own his own field(s). All he has to do is roll up his sleeves and with help of others and the Lord, he can get it done.
You have the right amount of syllables and lines for this type of poem.
Good luck with your poem.

    You my friend are so very kind. I can't thank you enough for your lovely review and comments and your generous six stars. We believe that he was destined to carry on, as we couldn't believe that as years went by, he only became more obsessed with taking over the crops. Thank you again for this great review and stars!

I love learning something new. I was unfamiliar with this particular poetic form and as the prompt does not explain the rules had to look it up. This poem appears to fit my understanding of the required structure and it also warmed my heart. Nice work!

    Thank you for this lovely review and comments! I too had no idea what a Naani was, but after reading about it I realized it was about feelings with line and syllable restrictions.
    We are truly blessed that this boy was destined to be as important to the fields here, as what God provides for them to grow.
    Thank you again my friend!

It is a wonderful thing when a child develops a passion for honest hard work, has a grandfather for a mentor, and keeps the family farm going for at least another generation, so I honour your poem and hope it will win.

There is just something special about the farm. The smells, the early mornings, the ever-present dew, and the satisfaction of being able to see, feel and taste your accomplishment. This little guy will probably be feeding my grandchildren one of these days.

Nicely said.

Hello author, this poem is so heartfelt and awesome. One of the things that we have to do as parents is create desire in our children to do well. It looks like this farmer-in-the-making is on his way. If you can see it, you can be it. How wonderful. Your poem reads and flows well and has good descriptive writing. I especially liked:

the soil, seeds, sun, rain,
and grandpa are my friends

(A boy couldn't have a better group of friends--all positive influences.)

Beautiful photo. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

    Wow, thank you so very much my dear friend. Your lovely review and words mean so very much, but I truly appreciate your very generous six stars as well! You can't possibly know how much this means to me, but my grandson will be so excited as well. We had played farm together from the tim he was three until about eight when grandpa slowly got him more and more into it, and starting next year, he will be doing the field work on his own. So thank you my dear friend as we are all so proud of him.
