What’s in a name?

September 28, 2021 by Admin Leave a Comment

What’s in a name?


The modus letters are enumerated


The way it’s voiced


Or to whom it belongs


Then, what’s to a name?


To the history it belongs


Or how larynx fickle with it


Is it the way it looks?


Appears lazy … fast before the eye?


Or is it the way it sounds?


handsome, antiquated, oddity or strange?


Can it sound positive?


Can it sound melodious?


Can it sound timid?


What’s in a name?


… pronouncing or spelling ?

Or unbearable attention it summons

What’s it connotes

Good or bad, beautiful or ugly


What’s in a name?


… the name or the person ?


What is a name ?


Yes… it’s the language


No . . . it’s the yesteryears


History?


Do tongue know . . . anymore
