Great philosophical naani poem. I haven't written one but somehow it seems that this theme is appropriate to start with observations about the world and end with a question.
Congratulations on your well deserved win!!

Thank you Helen. I appreciate your congratulations, especially as I haven?t written more than a couple of Naani poems altogether. So it was a pleasing surprise.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
To answer your question, most likely here or in the Scandanavian countries. Why else are refugees from every nation heading to our shore.?
Danger. I feel as if the Trojan horse that defeated the Greeks has been rolled in over our Southern gate.

Thanks for your thoughtful review. I wasn't so much thinking of political refugees as our own emotional refuge, but it works for the political also. There are many many other countries accepting refugees as well from many dangerous areas of the world.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It seems to me in the last four years things have changed. First COVID, a pandemic world wide. Now the sun is going through changes. Talks about taking some sort of glue to fix the poles. What in the world is wrong with people? You can not glue things back together in our solar system. Things that God created. Man has no business in certain places in space. God put us on Earth. Not Outer Space.

Exactly right. Thank you so much for understanding, and for reviewing. Our primary God-given role was stewardship of our world. That?s what this life is about ? and man has failed miserably.

Yes. You are welcome.
Comment from Michaela Moore
Interesting and intriguing to end your poem with a question. I like it. And the image you chose to accompany your creation really puts an exclamation mark on the importance and urgency that your diction evokes. This is lovely.

Thank you very much Michaela. Yes, I wanted the reader to join the dots to answer the question. One of our primary God-given tasks, what life is about, was stewardship of the planet ?

I am not familiar with this form of poetry. However, the first 2 lines seem a little disconnected from the last 2. It seemed to jump from global to personal. Good job following the line and syllable requirements of the poem! ð???

Thank you for reviewing. Nevertheless they are connected, and global always impacts personal ... but I wanted the reader to join the dots.

That is exactly why I said seemed. I definitely believe the global impacts us personally. I just felt a disconnect in this piece. I don?t believe that everyone will.
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a good Naani poem. It is about human nature. The text is a nice size. The question asked is one most would like answered. Your visual is a good one but you could crop it on your computer before uploading it here. Crop the Shutterstock info off the bottom. You could give them credit in the AN section. You have a good entry. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much for a positive review, good wishes, and suggestion. I was unable to crop it, but I have changed the image to one without the words. Thank you.
-
You are welcome. WOW! That's better than the first visual. This visual actually fits a line of the text.
-
Thank you so much. I will nominate you as a reviewer after the voting (to keep my anonymity). I appreciate your words very much!

Your second photo was better than my suggestion.

When God allotted stewardship of Earth to Adam and Eve, He realised it wasn't in very good hands, and He'll come back one day and hold us to account, what will we say? This is a beautifully written Naani poem my friend, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Regina Elliott
Should be a major contemplation with all us
citizens of the world. So much we can do such as
volunteering at a food bank,
church pantry, hospital,
nursing home,etc. I used to
volunteer at the local food
bank until my arthritic knees
got worse. Humankind
should not be so violent and
murderous. Road rage is the
most insane thing besides
young people dying in wars
and other sad human-caused
horror. If people, and I'm
including myself, would only
take deep breaths and not
talk or act with so much
anger. My very best wishes
for the contest with this
superb poem. Blessings

You are right. It's up to each of us to start the healing process. I am very glad you enjoyed it, and I thank you for your nice comments and good wishes.

This naani, Big Question, has the proper formatting and finds that point of questioning life that one finds faith a final place to turn.

Thank you Bill. Yes, I wanted people to do their own thinking to reach that point. You got it.
