'What's In A Name? ' Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla
'What's In A Name? '
'What's in a name? '
The great one said,
A rose by any name
Would smell the same
True it is when we name
Something that's known
What if we name something unknown?
Such as a storm,
National Hurricane Center
Originated a list of names
Of women, and men
For several years of storms
Six scores of them
Used in a cycle
And it's argued
A name's a convenient way
To refer to a storm
And then…
If a storm was deadly
For reasons of sensitivity
A committee decides
To retire the name
No new storm will get that name
A new name takes its place in the list
Logical it looks
But what about that name
For naming a child?
Good poem. enjoyed reading it...A new name takes its place in the list.....Well read.
In time the person or thing becomes that it seems. a nice read
This reminds me of my teaser to children, does a goat know it is called goat? , a dog, dog? So on...

Certain names that we give to some person, place or thing sometimes reminds of us of a special event, a loved one or just appeals to us for some reason most of the time we can't explain why. A name can hold a lot of meaning for the person and the one who gives it. Nice write.
