Notes About The Poem

Nom de plume

Nickname by any other name
Ofttimes original and ovation-worthy
Most meaningful to proud bearer

Defining individal core and essence
Expression flaunted to the world

Poetic paintbrush signs an alias
Lingers an aura of identity
Unconventionally wanting to be memorable
Misnomer guided by a metaphor
Explicit or enigmatic nom de plume
