this is such a heartbreaking poem, of feeling totally alone, and afraid, for nothing that you did, but from what was done to you, thank you for sharing, blessings.

Poet,

I think only you could write such a strong
naani poem about your most devastating
abandonment. In just 22 syllables you have
conveyed the terror and pain of that
situation you lived through.

'without provocation' is a very strong ending
and is like a satori.

Linda

This Naani poem is very powerful and poignant, especially after reading your author's notes. I think it will be a strong contender in this contest. Good luck ! Amarillys

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a superb naani. It covers a universal theme--war--and deals with human relationships--love. The syllabic count is within the boundaries and well distributed. I like the abab rhyme scheme, which is difficult to integrate into a poem this short. Fine work.

Oh, your heartbreak and loss so pervades every word of this poignant entry for the naani contest. My heart breaks for you, so young with so much to deal with. I hope you have overcome this double tragedy. Well written. Good luck in the contest.

A nicely written poem, even in it's sadness. It's difficult for a child, or anyone for that matter, to understand a situation like this. Best wishes in the contest. Kat

This poem is very touching. I can feel the honesty in every line. You suffered greatly and at such a young age that it must have been devestating. I hope that life is good for you now. God Bless you.

Wow! That's pretty tragic. Powerful words for powerful emotions. Like it or not, life's scars define who we are by how we deal with them. Each of us do that in their own unique way that suits us best. Great work.
