Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

What's In a Name

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

A rose by any other name
Is disgraceful to the rose
No other flower has such fame
Among all those seen in shows

Whether at a funeral or a wedding
The rose stands out more
At a birth, or a special setting
The rose is sure to score

I have no doubt about this gem
To bring joy to whom it is given
A single rose on one long stem
Is like a small touch of heaven

What's in a name, you say
It's just another flower
It will die and fade away
Yes, but it's the flower  of  the hour

Gershon Wolf October 24, 2019 at 1:28 PM Wow! The first two lines start this off in such a bold manner, and the verses/stanzas ascend from there! Great piece for the contest, and so true to its title. Could be yet another #1 for you, my friend. Bravo! A FAVE for me. Cheers! ~ Gershon Curtis Moorman October 24, 2019 at 2:15 PM Gershon, you do know how to make a poet feel good.
