Lenaé.
Standing for lime or linden tree.
Limes are so sour just like me.
Green and strong as the linden tree.
Yellow me as the leaves of the linden tree.
Pyramidal shape like a diamond in a rough.
Deep rooted like my name I will never be ashamed, because my mom gave me this name.
Strong as can be, I will never show the weak side bending on a knee.
Stubborn and strong as the roots of the linden tree and the wind sets me free.
Lenaé similar to Jenaé, as sister is to sister, as my mother would say.
As heart to heart, we will never be apart.
Just as the roots from the start.
Sweet and sour I will always be
Just like the lime or linden tree.
I would never be the same if I didn't have this name.
I like how you felt your name truly fits your personality.
ReplyDeleteSheronda,
ReplyDeleteFantastic use of extended metaphor! Bars.
Very good use of your rhymes. The way you used them made this poem unique
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing >u< I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very deep poem, I feel like you explained this very clearly
ReplyDeleteI am in love with it I love the rhyme and the theme of the tree and it's roots well thought out excellent job
ReplyDeleteI like how you compared your name to another name and said its like a sister name. I also like you you rhymed all of your words. It flowed well.
ReplyDeleteYou had splendid rhymes and it was great how you didn't just talk about yourself
ReplyDeleteI loved it. I loved how you said without your name you wouldn't be you. It's true but at the same time a lie. I like how it rhymed and the way you are sweet and sour like your name had a taste. It's own unique taste.
ReplyDeleteI liked all your rhyming a lot and I think you did a great job. It's really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like that you took the name and compared it so much to your self especially when you said " I would never be the same if I didn't have this name"
ReplyDeleteI liked how you wrote about one theme that you referred to, the linden tree and how you shared the same qualities as the tree
ReplyDeleteSheronda, I loved how you talked about you being strong and how you would never bend on your knee.
