So few words & so much meaning. Love it! And; Yes, it is so worth it, when you find the right person.

Ask a broken heart and it will say no. Ask a heart in love and it will say yes. Ask a heart that has experienced both and the answer my surprise you. Either way a great poem.

voyage ... uhm yeah ... pirates from ships seas or streams canoes ... a pirate in a canoe ... a love hollowed canoe ... ok ... voyage sounds like a strong word ... my current position has me unable to tell for sure ... so yes ... sign us up for postage stamps and post cards ... a daily deposit of some kind needs to be held for a collateralized love ... yes we will hold a love rally ... you take the first watch ... guaranteeing me a spot in the love rally finale ... cause yeah it means that much.

Lol at this point in my life I'd choose to be a "landlubber" and leave that journey to those who feel they need it! Thanks for the visit Molly ;)

As long as there is purpose and hope you can expect troubled waters, it part of life. Once you cross successfully and look back ask your self was it worth it. You can now take on anything God bless

What does naani mean?

Fj Thomas
Date: 12/20/2017 11:28:00 AM

It is a newer form I stumbled across on shadowpoetry.com: "Naani means an expression of one and all. It consists of 4 lines, the total lines consists of 20 to 25 syllables. The poem is not bounded to a particular subject. Generally it depends upon human relations and current statements. This poetry was introduced by one of the renowned Telugu poets Dr. N.Gopi, presently working as vice-chancellor to Telugu University, Andhra Pradesh."
