NAANI

The naani is a 4-line poem  containing 20 to 25 syllables (no more than 25).  No meter or rhyme is required.  No specific subject matter is required, but they are often about human relations or current statements.

Here's one example I found. Note that every line starts with a capital and no punctuation is used. I don't know yet if that's standard.  I'm looking for more examples to  help establish the correct pattern.

Balancing Act

Life is a tightrope
Sometimes you will fall
But step out in faith
You are only inches off the ground.

The above example contains 24 syllables
