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!!! 🙂
