Why oh Why my Nana??

by J Nair   Sep 23, 2016


Why do I have to sleep at night oh Nana my Nana?
Cause you need to rest just like the sun my dear!!

Where do I go in my sleep oh Nana my Nana?
Into the land of your dreams my dear!!

Where do all these tears come from oh Nana my Nana?
All that water stored in ducts behind your eyes my dear!

Where does my smile spring up from, oh Nana my Nana?
From the dent in the side of your cheek, your dimple my dear.

Where do I get all my Ideas from, Oh Nana my Nana?
It resides in the crevices of your brain my dear!!

Why do I need a friend oh Nana my Nana?
Cause you need someone to share all your, tears, smiles, dreams and ideas with my dear!!

    I love your poetry voice. It is refreshingly different and very sweet and this poem reminds me of sitting with my late Nana. Milly x

      Thank you Milly :)

      The assignment was to write a poem which had questions and answers one after the other.
      I wonder if this is a specific form of poetry.
      I tried searching but did not come up with any. Do share if you come across a poem with Q& A...
