Oh my, you're right; that would be very stressful, indeed. You've shined an important light on this situation with your well-thought-out and very well-presented Naani here. I hope it does well for you in the contest, Mystery Poet.

Interesting nonet topic. We moved into our first house nearly one year ago so this image was familiar too. I've gotten to like nonets, myself. Excellent writing! Best wishes!

Cool poem! I Especially like the script you chose and the subject matter of your poem.
Recently going through a move having to pack up twenty two years of my life. So I relate to your phone quite well. Moving sucks, LOL having said that I'm fine. No issues with grammar or aesthetics in your Palm. I find it to be a good submission and I Wish your Best Of luck in the contest. Hope your evening's great!

An unusual topic for the Naani, and I hope it does well. Having known those with special needs, and myself now with special needs, I can truly identify with your poem.

Been there and done that FAR too many times in my life! Having lived in a substantial four-bed house in north London for fifteen years, moving to a small one-bed flat meant a) selling half my stuff b) putting 40% of my stuff int storage and c) taking 10% with me.
Result? I only emptied my storage facility six months ago, having left it there for 30 years (£30,000) - plus the new stuff already swamped my flat, and now I have twelve extra boxes full of stuff and nowhere to put them!
MORAL: Live in a cave and never buy anything!
So your plaintive concern in moving house, so very well written here in this 25 syllable Naani is, believe me, only the tip of the iceberg.
The rhyme was great - and the poem is good enough for a six, if only I had one. The picture is perfect. Thank you.
Paul

It is hard uprooting when you are older and also not of sound mind as if can be confusing and distressing, I have seen it happen and it is very tragic, l poignant write, love Dolly x

    Thanks for your review. He has lived with the same organisation since he was 8 but is aging out. He will be missed.
