Poetry for a novel in progress. And now back to the novel.
Image and Words by June Perkins
I’m looking for names
that have
meaning
metre &
magic.
Names that
connect
collect &
caress
the characters
in the process
of becoming.
Back stories are in my
dreams
adventures caught in the seam
& I follow
the threads.
Stitching brainstorms
I find names
of place &
creatures
connected to nature
that sound so pretty with chosen
surnames.
Even makes me wonder if I could
change my name
would I?
Will I invent a pen name
to find the meaning
metre & the magic?
These names are not out
of a hat
nor random.
They have meaning
movement &
miracles..
