The Name
What’s in a name?
One that causes the mind
To provide a vision of beauty.
No it’s not the name of a rose.
I refer to what I’ve never seen,
To visualize an unknown being
A name that paints a lovely picture
Unlike the names of Greek gods
Like Hercules and Samson
Referring to tall, dark and handsome
I was told about a girl named Bitsy
And my mind saw dainty, delicate and ditsy
But when we actually met and to my regret
She turned out to be much taller than me.
