I couldn't breath
My vision was more den blurry
My train of thought was clouded
Your face was blowing in the wind
I felt like breathing again
I let you blow in the wind
So I could breath again
In order for me to breath
Im praying and hoping you don't blow back cause in evolving on a two way street just tryna live
While you didnt want me
someone else does
Im tyna breathe,
While you choke
Don't choke just let me be and
LIVE
Last Name, First Name (Nom Prénom)
Addressing a person by their surname
Without salutation rather than by their first
May show disrespect and suggest contempt
To the individual referenced.
If it’s your intention to use the latter,
Say, “Mr., Mrs., Mis., Miss., or Mx.” prior.
Be courteous and display good manners;
Polished behaviours will take you further.
Given names are chosen and assigned at birth
To human beings for distinction with class.
It’s polite to address people by their first name
Or with a courtesy title before their last.
Though using just surnames is prevalent,
It’s considered unrefined etiquette.

Was just trying to set up a pattern using my
last name. It goes up and down okay with the
letter N as the center. Jim
Your Last Name
Early morning sun and I soon arissed
Brother were both of us so surprised
Through my window started shining in
Another poem appeared in my mind again.
Was pretty soon when I started to suspect
That I would come up with one more subject
Appearing out of no where just for only me
Wanting for me to written down carefully.
Words apparently wanted to start and flow
At that instant desired to grow and grow
Into great poem who by God was blessed
And to give Him credit He always stressed.
Thanked God who received all of the credit
After I even let and allowed Him to edit
Heard Him say as into night He did disappear
Are you sure your last name isn't Shakespeare?
Same Last Name
Being married seems like such a great game
Maybe because we both have same last name
Which really is a warped word to the wise
In cemetery we are both easy to recognize.
To many facts I so often have been resigned
When I woke up with this poem on my mind
Then wrote down after thinking about it a lot
Down to last sentence that ended with a dot.
Things start with beginnings to reach an end
And it all goes to show you and does depend
Longer you live while loving will not regret
The great time had after you two first met.
Marriages will reach an end after we die
And no matter how hard we try and try
More your desires and hopes start to match
You know you ended up with a perfect catch.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
I legally changed my last name to Cleator,
because my original name was cursed.
Life was tough as a child and even as an adult
with a name like William, A Cleatoris.

Dedicated to Mike Hunt, Anita Cock & Dick Hertz.
I can relate to all of you on a very personal level.
I don't know what to do.
I care for him a lot and
I would love to be his wife but
Im only 15 years old.
should I say yes and
take his last name like I want to?
should I say no and risk losing him forever?
I might say no but only because I want to wait till senior year.
he's the love of my life and I hope he can understand me.
I want to marry him but
he has to understand that the only way I can marry him is
if my mom signs and I know for damn sure that
she's not going to sign the papers with me
only being 16 maybe 17 or 18 but not 16.
baby, if you're reading this don't take it the wrong way
I'm not saying I don't want to marry you I just want to wait till senior year.
