This naani, Embers, uses twenty-three syllables and shows a person left with the burning knowledge that what was is over. Lights out.

    True dat. We were in Africa for 22 years and got along great,now back in Canada we are going through a transition. Just one more reason I don't believe in marriage until death do you part. Cheers, thanks for the review Bill.

If I interpret this correctly, it's of a woman or man who has a recent loss in the romance department. I like the metaphor of flickering embers to express love having died and feelings remaining. Good for you.

    Yes, like a woman who has been neglected by her husband for so many years, suddenly realizes that it is over, and she rises alone.
    Thanks for the insightful review,
    Cheers.

    You're quite welcome. Could be a compelling short story.

    Haha, I'll let you know the ending soon enough. We were in Africa for 22 years and we worked very well as a team. Now we are going through a transition in Canada and I realize that he is a workaholic, so that is that. We are great friends though. Cheers, j

This meets the contest requirements nicely as you deliver a technically sound Naani Poem with correct line and syllable count throughout. The content is haunting in its imagery. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.
