And thought maybe "Cindy" or "Mindy"
Spanked at the start
Out popped a fart
So everyone knew she was, "Wendy"...

her mother thought that it

a wild and rambunctious child
Deloris would surely make her mild

Naming clouds that go by
Just sweet Jonah and I
Lying flat on our backs
Parallel to the sky...

To My Sister
What lines of mine
can bind you into symmetry?

Can a fence stop a shout?
Silence, a light?

I watch you pass above my imagination.
My words can only lie here
and play at naming 
your shifting shapes....

Premium Member Mystery of Explanation
Objectification 
Is told as the process
Of the mind in
Naming and describing

Pops up in

Cannot be explained..

Adam
tasked with naming Eden’s spectacle.
all was very good -
even quite respectable.

named the mother of all living things
after she bit the fruit of good and evil’s seed.
Costly to the only couple - the serpent’s cling....

Astonied
Astonied for blinking your eyes
Sab sequently you welcome the blinds
Tension hulls and bury their hearts
O's defined their titles
Naming silent motions
If you can live; really you can die
Ending defines success and failure
Defying the recognized surprise....

Trump Us
Trump US

Donald spouts off
Campaign platform thin
Will he brand Trump US?

Trump has a tendency of naming things after himself, Trump Tower(s), etc.... So I figure if he wins (God hope not), he would change the name of the USA to fit his over inflated ego....

Premium Member 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....

Premium Member Darkness
Darkness is the blanket 
that shields the world 
From light,
And love resides beneath her cover.
The moon rules those who play 
Within the capture
Of this shadow, 
Naming Dusk and Dawn 
The offspring of the mating 
Tween the two.
Daylight is the space 
That waits beyond....
