Hi Mystery Writer,

My, this is an excellent Naani! Very impressive use of words here that followed all the stated rules. I have never written a Naani but would like to try. Interesting form.

A great photo to accompany your well crafted verse. Quite thought provoking and conveying thoughts of bygone memories and fading thoughts that have gotten lost perhaps over the long years. Reflections on yesterdays ...

All the best in the contest with this perfect entry!

A beautifully crafted poem penned with great skill. Unusual subject. Powerful words accompanied by a matching photo. Good luck in the contest! But then there is no light without a shadow.

Those stale memories that haunt us and leave us in a melancholy mood as we are drugged by the past and carry the baggage with us, a grief-filled sadness here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Is there anything more stale and malignant that the air surrounding failed relationships, dreams that died an horrific death, or the loss of love to either physical death or the departure by any means of a love once held dear. Siting alone in a dimly lit room with the stale air of loss, is a horrible way to live or die.

This is an excellent naani, and it is written correctly and with no rhyming. That is something people don't seem to understand about naani - there should be no rhyming. Also, excellent presentation of a human condition. Very well written. "Stale malaise" - perfect line.

Very nice work and thanks for outlining the form! It is a form I have not encountered before and always cherish learning new things. The words paint a perfect picture of the downtrodden and those who do not put themselves forward.

A strong piece of writing, and excellent the attributes of the form. Such imagery here that give rise to circumstance, and in so many ways. Fine wording. This Naani is both poetic in content, as too giving justice to the form.
Bravo.
One of the better ones I have read. This deserves more.

My best wishes.

The author's words are eerie, clear, descriptive and creative. I pondered
on the theme of these words. I also thought about the few times I felt
like this. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with
the words of this poem.
