The Name Collector Poem by Belle Wassermeister

The Name Collector

Rating: 5.0


The Name Collector

I like to collect names.
Did you know that when
Poem Hunter attaches a video
to your poem, your name is added
at the bottom right corner of the video?

I change my name often, so
that I can collect more names!

Here is a partial list of some
of the names I have used.
The reason it is only a partial list
is because a few months ago
I deleted dozens of my poems
when I almost left Poem Hunter,
without writing down the names
that I had used!

I am not the only one
who has used pseudonyms.

These poets also do not
go by their real names:

Ballerina With Fins

Ima Ryma

Is It Poetry
(he now says his name is James McLain,
but is it really?

Mandolyn …
(she now posts on AllPoetry
using a different pseudonym
and no longer posts here)

Me Poet Yeps Poet

Not Long Left

Pamela Sinecrope
(she no longer is posting here,
but that was not her real name)

Practicing Poetess

Professor Poetry Hound

Sally Plumb Plumb

Sandy Nobody

Silentpoet Grl

Smoky Hoss

Unwritten Soul

and there are dozens of others
but I have no more time.

Plus, who knows, of all the names
that SEEM real, how many
of them really are?

What's there in name other than to recognise, content matters.

Thank you for enlisting the names you use for writing poems on PoemHunter.For whatever reason a poet adopts a pseudonym, the readers want to know the real poet.If the name is not real, how can be the emotions there in?
