Best Naming Poems
Naming Life
Ebullient charm cascades
in the rolling valley of time,
changes color with reflection of chromatic sky
from dreaming dawn to dulcet dusk.
On sensuous azure canvas the artist mind
paints the poignant panorama of dream.
Life becomes the euphoric sky
called marvel. .
In the riviera of surreal trance
dreams drift in from infinite nowhere
on the trail of collapsed time, past and future.
With multicolored strands...

Naming Bandages
My lies have taken everything I loved
My mind is fuelled by the pain I trust
My fingers turn everything into dust
My heart avenges loss through use of lust
Anger will tell me that the world’s to blame
Fear will forget it took my mind away
Desire will tell me that it’s pointless
But the liar will realise it’s another day
My...

On Naming Plants and Animals
A Commentary on
"A Note on the [Patriarchal-Colonizing] Treatment
of Plant Names"
by Robin Wall Kimmerer, p. 385
BRAIDING SWEETGRASS:
INDIGENOUS WISDOM,
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE,
AND THE [SACRED] TEACHINGS
OF PLANTS
I too often accept
with nary a LeftBrain dominant thought
that our verbalized labels
for individual EgoPersons
are RoyallyCAPITALIZED.
To write
"Marvin Appletree"
would be to strip my tree
of His/Her sacred status
as an EarthTribe indigenous
child of MotherEartha
Just-us another tree
of unvoiced organic...

Naming Fish
People often get stuck on what to call their fish
and in many cases come up with ridiculous things.
They imagine some kind of greatness, attached to
naming, and they name them Moby, or Jaws, or Hannibal.
Some are poetic and flowing like water- Eulalie
or Aolani( Ay-o-lawn-ee) which means "Heavenly Cloud."
Some joke, and call them Sushi or...

The Naming of Dogs
The naming of dogs is a serious matter,
as dogs are, by nature, a serious lot.
A name sets the tone for a pup’s pranks and patter;
and long into dog-hood. So, give it some thought.
Call a pup BOZO, he’ll just be a clown,
playing dead, pirouetting when you command “DOWN!”
If you dub your dog KING, you’ll be swelling...

The Naming Light
I see silhouettes in the naming light,
Looking over concourses of time,
Winged comrades muddied by the day.
Through whose hue have we seen the great truth?
Which banner are you holding now?
There are silhouettes in the naming light!
Such a sight, oh love,
Such a sight....

The Naming of Merlin's Cave
The Naming of Merlin’s Cave
below Tintagel’s aged frame
beneath the castles guardian walls
the sea swells darkly with the high tide
then thunders its secrets into a cave.
echoes of the soldiers tramp
across the roof, both cold and damp
and horses hooves leave little doubt
that battle rages near about
t’is then that Uther fulfilled his need
to conquer the Duke in...

Naming a Hurricane
A morning in a gown of mist and dewdrops
Blankets my world with her warmth
I bask in her torrential shower of love
And slip into her tropical depths
Last night we shared a dream to a distant shore
Something in our hearts that only love can reveal
An untouched paradise for us to soar
In search of its first lovers’...

Ballad
Naming of the Parts
For those of a military cast of mind
There are many poems they can find
Which do embellish battlefield glory
In the telling of their story.
But for me there is another field of play
Where merry pleasure is ne'er far away.
Not for me delight in weapons martial
Rather the joy of parts venereal.
Your soft hair framing your...

Crazy Horse's Naming Vision
Crazy Horse's Naming Vision
by Michael R. Burch
Earthbound,
and yet I now fly
through these clouds that are aimlessly drifting...
so high
that no sound
echoing by
below where the mountains are lifting
the sky
can be heard.
Like a bird,
but not meek,
like a hawk from a distance regarding its prey,
I will shriek,
not a word,
but a screech,
and my terrible clamor will turn them to clay?
the...

On the Naming of a Child
On the naming of a child
Certain protocols should be followed by the registrar
Protocol one
If the chosen name is Rainbow or Honey dew
Then firstly the parents should be slapped
And given a book containing sensible names
This process should be repeated until a sensible choice is made
Protocol Two
If the chosen name is Chardonnay or Champagne
Then firstly the parents...

Naming Names
If you hailed from South Dakota,
And someone asked you, "Where you from?"
You wouldn’t simply say, “Uh, Dakota.”
And if you grew up in the hills of West Virginia,
You’d never be inclined to just reply, “Oh, I’m from Virginia.”
But if your mind is going to Carolina,
And you knew James Taylor’s home address,
It doesn’t matter whether North or...
