What's In a Name

Find it in an anagram,its a name of French descent It has four vowels in it,and is a long nine letter word. The main noun starts with C , and ends up with an E. Its beauty lies in sugar-coated charm,Its carefree as can be. A melody of lyrics where graceful swans belong If you'll get to know it, it means you found a Song. It owns a friendly attitude like Blossoms of May Pleasant yet stubborn, and does plenty in a day. A bountiful orchard bestowing delightful gifts Of kindness, calm serenity ,and truth upon the lips. It empowers the one who owns it with a will to change the world.Born to be a hidden leader whose voiceless men defends. Endowed by empathy.Spiritually insightful Emotionally endearing ,with a tint of mystery. By Shakespeare ,Cleopatra's attendant was called the same but as the Bard penned , 'What's in a name' Would you treat me differently if I just called myself Madame,Mademoiselle or Dame? Would my light shine brighter if I was called a star Isn't it our heart which proclaims who we are? Isn't it our soul which reveals identity Isn't it our life-lines which prevail our destiny ?

As I commented before, If we invent another name for "rose" would it stop the designated rose being a rose? What counts is who the person is who bears that name. I would agree with your fantastic display of your name. It is a poem in itself, therefore a seven is due Ma chere amie, Charmaine, anagram or no anagram!

"Its beauty lies in sugar-coated charm,Its carefree as can be." If this line was all you wrote I would know who you were instantly. I loved this poem and I hope it does well in the contest. Beautiful, creative and so you my sweet friend.

No, yes, yes and yes. No, your light could not shine any brighter. Yes it is your heart (your fabulous, wonderful, endearing, admirable heart) that defines you. Yes your one of a kind all encompassing loving soul reveals your identity. Yes what's in a name but thank God your here to touch us all with your magic my dear friend. A Fav!
