Nom De Plume Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Nom De Plume



It's important
what you get called
has a name,
one you can take
to the ivory
border
It's important
what you're called
is remembered the same,
today recollected
tomorrow
reordered
A mark on the stone
no longer
unknown,
your history and
legacy
rendered
Sapphire crystal
overlord set,
the past
eponymous
the future
