Name Game

The Name Game Understanding human nature can be very complex indeed Especially when there are people whose names are hard to read Let me give you some examples to explain what I m talking about There is no simple rule to follow, no single rule to flout Perhaps you can take for instance the case of Marylou Underneath her disarming nature could be a cold and heartless shrew Or when Mary Jane who’s far from plain is a stunning movie star And Johnny who never stole any sugar or uttered Yes Papa One should never plan a vacation based solely on the name of a town “Accident” a place in Maryland is actually quite safe and sound Or” End of the Road” is the name of store and does not refer to a street There you can find everything you need from shoes to books to meat. Consider why Ideo locator merely means a “you are here” sign Or Morton’s toe simply means your toes are not arranged in line Griffonage , unreadable writing , they should simply say hard to spell Honestly with names like that , one really cannot tell Have you ever wondered why no rats have ever run a rat race Or a slip of your tongue seems silly when your tongue is firmly in place What’s in a name asks Shakespeare, really there’s quite a lot Would you smell a rose if it were called a Stinky touch me not?

Such a cool poem, Judy. I love the creativity and, of course, the last two lines (couplet) was excellently phrased. This poem can be listed under a number of forms. Rhyme, Couplet, Quatrain, Light Poetry ... it's up to you to choose which one you would like it to be categorized. It's all how you want the poem to be viewed by the potential reader. This is a very fine debut poem. Thank you for reading my poem. Welcome to PSoup, dear poetess. May love light your path always.
