Charmaine Chircop Poet Free verse

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 ?

Demetrios Trifiatis January 16, 2017 at 9:33 AM 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!

Chris Green January 16, 2017 at 9:01 AM "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.

Maurice Yvonne January 15, 2017 at 5:15 PM 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!
