My name.
Not just a word,
A label,
Or a tag.
My name is my
personality,
My likeness,
My being.
My name is me.
I am my name,
Josh.
A joke, as some
would say, a buffoon.
I’m in
agreement.
However, others
may say Jesus.
Or savior.
Do not call me
Josh because it is my name,
Call me Josh
because it is who I am.
‘J’ is for jest.
For I am the
best at it.
‘O’ is for
obscurity.
Misunderstood in
a good way.
‘S’ is for
sultry.
A natural
Casanova, as one would say.
‘H’ is for
haphazard.
Floating through
life, making it up as I go along.
“I will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee.”
The one from
whom my name comes,
I live as he did
for I am imbued with his legacy.
Faithful and
dependable.
My companions
are all aware that I will be at their side,
Always.
I have touched
many lives
And many have
touched me.
I mold myself
around others
And my
experiences with them.
Like a moth to
light,
I am attracted
to new experiences
And new friends.
Give and I shall
return.
For I am Josh.
I truly love this <3 it really is you. All those word sum you up. I wish you'd write more poetry!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great since of writing I really like it. Great Job :):)!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job it seems a lot like you (:
ReplyDeleteI like how you set up your poem and your elements of speech.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am surprised that this came from you! Lol Good job!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you read. It was slow and you had some longer pauses which added emphasis to your writing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI liked how your words flowed very nicely (in that context is it flowed or flew)
ReplyDeleteFlowed, I think.
DeleteI really enjoyed your creativity and especially your vocabulary. Also the way you spoke. Great job
ReplyDeleteJust wow it's all I can really say other than very very nice use of vocabulary. Great job
ReplyDeleteI liked how you gave a meaning to each letter in your name. Your cats would be proud.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you said what each letter of your name stood for. Very nice poem!!
ReplyDeleteJosh,
ReplyDeleteI really like the word choice you incorporated into your writing. Obscurity, sultry... Excellent words!
Your poem all together was very strong and deep. I felt the emotion you Putin to it. Nice.....awesome job.
ReplyDeleteBy far my favorite poem!!!! You put a lot of feeling into it and you truly made it seem like a poem. You didn't just throw a bunch of words in there. The whole thing was very meaningful. You seemed inspired when you read it. I loved it!!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you wrote it in poem format even though it did not necessarily rhyme. I also really liked how you gave a word for each letter of your name, that was really cool. Great job
ReplyDeleteYou are.veery good at poetry. And the words you used. Sultry, jest, Casanova haphazzard. You are very good with the vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteAmazing is the only thing i can say about you work. there is no way for me to realy express what i wish to say so don't ask.
ReplyDeleteDon't take much seriously, but it seems you did with this. Most of it is true. Your speaking added much to the effect of your poem. Different, uncommon words.
ReplyDeleteWow josh! Jaden pretty much summed up my thoughts for me. This is going to sound weird but in a way, I think it was almost theatrical! The way you started out, slowly building up and BANG!!!! The big finish! So exciting. Nice job using your tone of voice, which actually resonated throughout your writing.
ReplyDeleteI could imagine the way you would read it, which I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with meter?
When you read to yourself, whose voice do you hear? I hear yours when I read this.....ooooh spooky!!!!
Bravo! Marvelous!
I really liked the tone of voice you used when you spoke. I also like the feeling and emotion you put into your name.
