Some Naani Poems

The defining features of the Naani are:
stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains.
syllabic, with a total syllable count of between 20 and 25 syllables.

1 Pursuer

He was waiting
For his full moon
Didn't turn up that moon
He still waited till a new moon's day

2Revenger

Glossy red lips
Fluttering sans wings
Not to flee away on legs
But to bite, sever apart

3 Violators

Clouds thronged
Beat till her heart poured
Her gheraoed star
Could not see her sinking

4 Grumbler

Far away school
Welcomes little'u.k.gs'
Grand-ma is grumbling
'Little babe is thinning'

5Reciter

Customary prayers
Split mind elsewhere
Legs and hands, eyes and mouth
In their own routine recitation
