For November I am exploring the Naani. A Naani poem is a traditional Telugu poetry form. It has 4 lines with total number of syllables between 20 to 25. While the poem does not have to be about a particular subject it is often about human relations or current statements. The word Naani literally means “an expression of one and all”. The form was popularized by the renowned Indian poet Dr N. Gopi.

Thanks Willow. I think there is a lot one can do with four lines and 20-25 total syllables. Should be fun.

Wow, I’d never even heard of it. Btw, Naani in Hindi means ‘maternal grandmother’ 🙂

In this case, of course, it doesn’t refer to a grandma, because the poetry form Naani is from Andhra Pradesh, so the language would be Telugu, not Hindi 🙂
