Passion Poet

Alright it has been a week and I have not heard from anyone.
That is ok I know that the name of this blog does not affect your lives or mine really :-) .

However my mind has been stewing about this for a week and this morning in the shower "Passion Poet" came to me. I liked it immediately. As we drove out to Lawrence I ask Kris what she thought and she liked it too.  So here we are.

I am still willing to take your suggestions and feedback about this title though so please feel free to comment.

By the way I am thinking about writing an ebook about my ghost stories and I am thinking about using this picture what do you think about the picture? And would you read the ebook?

Just random thoughts.
I should have a poem up soon.

Thank you for reading,

Poetic Me

Hello Everyone;

I have a question for you all instead of a poem today.

Recently I have been thinking about this blog's name changes. Mostly how the name changes have illustrated my emotional evolution.

When I first started this blog I named it Writer of Some Wrongs, which is explains my URL name. But I soon found that title too limiting. For example what if I wanted to write about some rights would readers be disappointed if I changed from a theme of "wrongs" to a theme of "rights". Plus I did not want to just write about wrongs I wanted to have a place for my poetry, whatever form it can in, to go so I could share it.

So I chose Delaina's Poetic Rants as my title. Here is some of my reasoning for choosing this title. First, I was not sure what I wrote could actually be called poetry. I have not taken any classes  that would hone any poetic skills I might have. So I felt to call the blog Delaina's Poems would open me up for attack as I didn't really now if what I write could be called poems. Yet, I felt like words that come from so deep within my heart could still be deemed poetic. I added "Rants" because that was a safe, in my mind, word to explain my passionate words, while still allowing me to point out injustices. Plus if my words were not poems they were at least rants.

In my mind, at least at the time, the title was a perfect fit for me and safe.

About two weeks ago I started asking myself if this title still worked for me. Because I am going through another emotional change. I had not answered my question when one of my readers asked me to consider changing the title to something else. Their reasoning was that the word "rant" has too many negative connotations. I am not sure how much I agree but I can see their point, and right now I am trying to get away from promoting too much negativity.

I should also add that I value this person's opinion so I am taking the request seriously.

Yet I am not sure what to change the blog title to. Do I just replace the world "rant" with another word with less negative meanings? Do I create a whole new title? After all the title of this post "Poetic Me" is not bad. But then do we attach to many meanings and emotions to the word "poetic"?

So I have decided to ask you all what you think this blog's title should be? What are your opinions? I won't make any promises that I will pick your title but I will seriously consider all suggestions.

Just leave your thoughts as a comment that way everyone can see them and respond to them. Hopefully, with your help, I can land on fantastic title that I can keep for a long time.

Thank you,
Delaina

Friends

Friends

They are the gifts we give ourselves.

It is because of them we take initiatives.

They are the light at a dark and lonely tunnel’s end.

That is why we call them friend.

They pull us up when we are down.

It is because of this, we wish for them to never frown.

They push us forward when we are afraid.

That is why, for them, our love and trust braid.

They expect nothing less than our best.

It is because of this that we are blessed.

They offer us their selves and expect the same.

That is why, from them, we cannot refrain.

They have faith and, in us, believe.

This is why, to them, we cleave.

They are an endless smile for our incessant tears.

That is why we merit their cares.

They come and, yes, they may go.

It is because of their love, we grow.

They are our friends without an end.

That is why we all transcend.
