Your poem is in good naani form and is certainly thought-provoking - I think it is a common flaw in human nature for us to want to blame everyone and every circumstance for our failures other than ourselves, and you point that out forcefully. Brooke

This is a very good naani poem you have penned. I agree with you to a certain degree. The ones fighting don't have a lot of choice. Good luck. Teri

America - The Land of the Free...
But to maintain that freedom we must stand up for what it means and demand that all people are equal and deserve to share in it's bounty.
Nice Naani == CArol

Great patriotic naani, meeting all the contest requirements, with lovely artwork and colour scheme complementing the whole piece, but the words stand on their own.
Good luck in the contest.
Warmest regards

Comment from tati
This is awesome. Your pride being an American amazed me. Your third and fourth line are my favorite:
To succeed or not
Depends primarily on me
This is a delightful to read poem; wish you all the best. (tati, Jan. 26, 2010)

This is a rousing call for more national involvement. It meets the contest criteria, plus a bit of rhyme. The presentation is beautifully done. Best wishes, Jeanie Mercer

Comment from missy98writer
Poet,
I love your intelligently written Naani poem "An American I Am." Wow, powerful poem in so few words. I love the photograph and color scheme. I like every word in your poem:
'An American I am
Born to be free
To succeed or not
Depends primarily on me '
Exceptional imagery with your well executed Naani poem. Your Naani is the best one I've ever read.
Missy.
