What's In A Name Poem by Fay Slimm
What's In A Name
Love by any other name
Would never sound as sweet.
To whisper sentimentally
Complacent words of gallantry
Would hardly ever do.
Love by any other name
Just doesn't sound complete.
Could never mean 'foreverness'
When describing our togetherness.
Nothing less would do.
'Love' - the never -failing word
When springing from the heart.
Could any word of tenderness
Evoke such deep-felt happiness
Re-placing...' I love you '? .

I love this! With such boldness it disagrees with Shakespeare's 'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet' - and, I must say, I tend to agree. A magnificent poem! S :)
