Listen to poem:

Nom De Plume

You earned it
The right to
Stand out

To show your true colors
To go by the name
That best represents 
The real authentic you
The you you’ve grown into

Select your pen name
With utmost care
Flaunt your uniqueness
Divulge your true colors

Love the last line, Line. It could stand alone and proudly. There is so much truth in a name. It is interesting how a name becomes uniquely your own, even a nickname.
