‘Came by way of a thief in the night
Said Ma’
Initially unwanted by
… Papa
Four months too soon
Preterm
Complication stirred up intercessions
… Please stay
Decades since, “Celebration” in my name
“FK” 😉
Festival King, FK for short, is obviously not my real name – BUT just so you know, my pseudo is coined from my first and last names … First name actually meaning “Celebration”:)
An old poem of mine gives insight into my Last name. Click the link if you’d like to read: OTARU
MTB: The Poetry of Names – Today’s MTB prompt on @dVerse has us writing a WaltMarie poetry style*:
- 10 lines
- even lines are just 2 syllables
- odd lines are longer but without syllable restriction
- the even lines make their own mini-poem if read separately
- meter and rhyme are unspecified
And the theme of your poem should be
- the history/meaning of your name
- or one you wish you had
- or an imaginary one
Consider/imagine how it was chosen, what has it meant to carry that name.
ENJOY!!! 🙂

“Please stay” says it all ❤

loved the history you gave of your birth and how you became! Celebration all the way, Festival King and mystery in the history of Otaru too (yes I followed the link and found from the Kukuruku hills a cherry blossom)
