Nice poem.You can work on your creative mind and make it much better. However, I do think some were born more creative than others.

I love your Naani message, and I do believe that everyone has gift inside. Some just don't have the time or patience to unwrap it.

Hi, robina. I totally agree with using art and writing interchangeably - they each appeal to different sides of the brain. I'm assuming the accompanying artwork is yours and I find it fascinating. Your Naani is so true - good art takes patient tending. Well done! I wish you the best with your lovely entry in the contest. Kind regards, Bev

Any art form takes hard work. Although once in a great while, in my case, a poem will just flow out. I worry about what form it should take later. I enjoyed your poem from beginning to end.

It is hard work and when the words desert you it's so stressful
However when the muse is with you how very satisfying it is to see the words flow
I liked this ver much
Best wishes in the contest

There is no try. There is only do or do not. This poem although well written is wrong in its thought process. I was terrible in English classes at school. But I am a writer and I didn't learn this. I was born with it. But always remember that there is no try. You either do or you do not. There is no try... John

    Thanks for your review.Your opinion might stand for you:but I was taught by several artistc people you need the 1 0/0 genatically,99 0/0 you can achieve by studying.
    Mind you I was not great in Dutch at school,but had an excellent English teacher.There also runs creativity in some of the rest of my family.

    Creativity is born into a person, not taught...

I found this very encouraging. And I too wanted to try something I was told I could do years ago that was dtrech fashion well It didn't return do I got some artbooks to teach myselver how to colorpaint . It was a shock after my dtroke to know I could do that. Nothing beats a failure but a try my mama use to say.

Second review

MUCH BETTER! now it is true to form with 22 syllables.

I love word economy and the first one would have been fine as a short poem, but not as a naani. now it is a good naani.

Best of luck

First review (THREE stars)




Warm welcome to FS and to the art of writing poetry. This is a good start, but needs work to fit the form, as naani has a MINIMUM of 20 syllables and a maximum of 25.

Your post, here, has only 11 syllables. You need at least nine more. You can accomplish this by adding filler words, maybe making fuller sentences.

Nice concept, and clearly conveyed.

Nice presentation as well.

Good luck!

I will be happy to re-review if you make changes.

Best wishes, r d

    Thanks for your welcome and constructive tips.
    My Scottish husband possibly forgot what a syllable was.
    Try and look at it again and change it bach-had it slightly longer.

Creative work-a struggle and joy

Minds on pencil traveling, ink spurting
words shaped by edges of the brain is made.
It is developed and learned in experience and information.
Efforts are there moved and timed.
You want to see this?

See the real figure of the work?
They are likely done by a machine.
