What's your name?

Is it Thomas, Betty, Monique, Jennifer or Christina?

Or is it something more unique,

Like Winifred, Bonita, Ruse,Takeem, Elwae or Reena?



What's your name?

Please tell me.

If you don't,

It's all the same,

It's what is inside that counts.

hello, um your poem is pretty great but is a bit short. maybe a little depth or play of words would make it even better.
all in all, this was pretty awesome

I like it. It sends a kind of unique vibe especially at the end when it says its what's in the inside that counts. I've never heard that term refer to names before.

It's a little short. Maybe if you made it a little longer it could be even better.
