What’s In a Name?

This week, we talked about the importance of our names. We shared stories about their significance and their origins and how our names might even fit our personality.

 

My Name

Brooke J.

7th grade

 

Brooke, a name that fits me just right

Streaming down the vast lake

swishing back and forth

Is Brooke your nickname?

they say

Oh how drained the river is getting

 

Brooke, a peaceful stream swish swish

The stream is upset

The waves are getting bigger

Knocking everything in its path

The stream calms the pattern, the waves

are stable now, swish swish.
