Just One Kind Word
A Naani Entry5 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This naani, Just One Kind Word, uses four lines and twenty-four syllables to promote the idea that the simplest prompting may be enough to begin again.

Thank you for your encouraging comments.
Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Of all the many poems I have read tonight, and all of them very good, your poem seems to stand above the others.
I loved how you used the scorching sands to represent life's trial and the last two verses to represent 'just one kind word'.
I love every word of this poem. It is exquisitely penned, beautiful in words, having a double meaning.
Beautiful illustration and overall presentation!
You've got a winner here!

I've always scoffed at the fairly ridiculous description of what a naani should do, but perhaps this gentle piece of philosophy is exactly what is required.
Lovely presentation and there is a sweet flow to the words too, which seems to focus the attention onto the last crucial words, 'just one raindrop.'
This should do well in the voting. Good luck.
