Name Celebration

[wren.]

name celebration

"We write our names in the sand: and then the waves roll in and wash them away."
- Neil Gaiman
"Proper names are poetry in the raw. Like all poetry they are untranslatable."
- W.H. Auden
"To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary."
- Erica Jong

Did you know that the week of March 7th is Celebrate Your Name Week? So, to celebrate our names, I thought it would be fun to create an acrostic poem using our usernames! If you don't know what an acrostic poem is, it is a poem where certain letters (usually the first letter) in each line spell out a word or phrase.

For example, using my username:
Jolly laughter,
Enchanting light,
Nocturnal creatures
Abloom with delight.
Memories made,
Obligations forgotten,
Singing and dancing with the downtrodden.

You can be as silly or as serious with it as you'd like. Have fun!

Pacing myself,
A ton of replies to write,
Varying in length,
Even so, I click the icon on my desktop,
League of Legends,
Labouring over my keyboard,
Ugly words in chat,
Make me return to reality.

Peeking at my reply queue,
Evaluating my life priorities again,
Nasty homework piling up on my desk,
Do I even bother with uni?
Unable to decide,
Laughing, I pull up Iwaku,
Until class tomorrow morning,
My schoolwork will remain forgotten.

I call this one Requiem for Pav's degree.

Really tired,
In these times.
I'm looking for,
Something
Else.

[Sorrelfur]

So unsure where I am in life,
Originally wanted to succeed by now,
Racing to meet my family's expectations,
Regretting the decisions I've made,
Eager to get away from it all,
Life seems like it's too much rn,
Feeling like I'm drowning
Under all this pressure,
Really just want it to go away now.


OK definitely alot more depressing than I started out with but it's 3am so you all get 3am brain rn

My time is short,
Always I'm tired,
Ruined by work and everything that's required,
You'll forget I forget this line.
Going to wish for a new life,
One without so much strife,
Looking ahead to something brighter,
Day one and I discovered I'm a fighter.

Don't ask me what this is, because I don't have an answer. I will curtsy and take my leave.

Currently screaming,
Only anxiety,
You know,
Oats,
Tatertots,
Eaten.

Yeah. Have fun with that one.
