ONOMATOPOEIA ~~~~~~~~~~~ onomatopoeia ring, boom, hiss, bang, crash, wallop! sounds one can hear words speaking for themselves ~~ onomatopoeia roar, meow, hiss, pop, tap! from quill to paper, silenced. heard only in ones mind ~~~~~~~~ Naani - One of India's most popular Telugu poetry. Naani means an expression of one and all. It consists of 4 lines, the total lines consists of . The poem is subject specific. Generally it depends upon human relations and current statements. The only restriction's are the 20 to 25 syllables, 4 lines, and of course it subject specific. This poetry was introduced by one of the renowned Telugu poets Dr. N.Gopi, presently working as vice-chancellor to Telugu University, Andhra Pradesh et al I can find no dates on its origin. I am assuming its ancient? As is I can't find any means by which I can contact admin, unless you no different. As far as I can make out, to do so I need to go premium? Help! Also if any one knows the history of naani poetry, please be forth coming. The purpose of all the above is draw Admins attention to the form, and maybe add it to the extensive list of new and ancient poetry forms that already exists on 'Poetry Soup'.

Naneelu poetry is what Dr. N.Gopi is credited with. Naani is a poem if what is written on the Shadow Poetry site is correct. However it contradicts itself, as does the Wikipedia entry on the topic. What is clear is that Naneelu is the poetry form, and Dr Gopi is credited with having an anthology published of the afore mention. Having done some in-depth research I find that, as there is with most poetry formats, confusion. Sadly like rumors, each time the tale is told it is in many ways altered. However the only concrete fact is that there is an anthology published under the title Naneelu and was introduced in the year 2002 by Dr N Gopi through his book Naeelu. I'd like to say "I rest my case", but there to many conflictions. Help!!!!!

When doing mine it was my understanding that this form was recent; invented by said Dr. But I will look over it again to make sure. Maybe I mis-read.

Hi S.O.T.P, I think your correct, check this link out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naneelu Note Naneelu, where did Naani come from? Oh and I am that the word count should be syllable count. The example poem doesn't conform either way as the following clearly shows: 14 words, 19 syllables, 78 characters. Probably worth finding a way of contacting the Doctor or maybe the uni?
