Stream of Conciousness Saturday: By Any Other Name

A Rose

A  Rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Shakespeare  said  this  once …how neat!

So  tell me if  we  had  another  name

Would  we  still  be  the very same

As  we are  with  the name  that  we were given.

Or  would our  souls  be  differently  driven.

 

Would  your  lover, husband  or  brother

If  renamed  suddenly  become another.

Is  there  something in  a name

That  decrees  our  lives  and  sets our  game.

Or  is  this  all a pointless pursuit

Pondering over  the  saying  of  the Bard …however  cute!

 

William Shakespeare at work

Here  are  Linda’s  rules :

Here are the rules:

1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.

2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.

3. There will be a prompt every week. I will post the prompt here on my blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” or “Begin with the word ‘The’.”

4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours.  Your link will show up in my comments, for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top.

5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on my post.

6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!

7. Have fun!
