NaPoWriMo Day 14 – April 14, 2021

Hello All. The prompt today was to write a poem based on the meaning of our name, first or last. I used the website behindthename.com, and came up with a few adjectives to help me out.

 What's in a Name

 Margaret
 Classic Mature Refined Serious
 My formal name, always too long for me
 How I feel at doctor offices and the DMV
  
  
 Maggie 
 Youthful Common Natural Nerdy
 To this identity I play along
 With new coworkers who get it wrong
  
  
 Megan
 Natural Wholesome Modern Refined
 Another choice of new people upon meeting
 My persona as foreigner is often fleeting
  
  
 Meg
 Informal Youthful Comedic Simple
 My name now, as it always has been
 Who I really am, in my own skin
  
  

About Meg

Meg travels a lot for work. But sometimes she has time to draw and copy and fold. Favorite drink - TAB, favorite food - Bread, favorite sound - skates on ice.
