What's In a Name

I need to remind myself why As to why my name is required Is it to look at the same old name To become literally tired Or do I read into an abyss Where one needs a clue to be I'm estranged as to why my name Requires the reader to see I can live for centuries The desire to see, never compared So why should I write my name When I'm blank, my write is spared Maybe I'm tired with age Or common sense allows my right I need to remind myself why That who should know my writes http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/writing.php

I need to know your name so that I can communicate. And, yes, there is a certain pride in being able to set down a good poem, but my chief aim is to communicate my thoughts with someone out there and to have that someone grab hold and return the missile. I can certainly communicate with this one, James. Love, daver

James, this is very interesting. I was thinking it could even work for the January contest, since January is with is for centuries and does not need the name January!!
