Behind my name is a buffoon,
as people seem to think.
You would know the story behind it
if you'd just let me speak.
People call me Elieza
but it's really Eleeza.
I dislike that very much,
so I tell them call me Isa.
When my name is said wrong,
I am filled with bane.
But I really can't blame them
since it's just a name.
My name is unique,
it fits me well.
I like it a lot,
can't you tell?
I am named after my grandmother,
Maria Elisa was her name.
My name is very similar.
They are somewhat the same.
My name is different
like each letter in the alphabet,
it's not that simple though,
it's something like a volleyball set.
When people hear my name,
do they think of extrovert?
or do they think of garish?
Whatever, it doesn't really hurt.
I really like how you explained how you don't like for your name to be prounced incorrectly. Nice job. Keep it up :)

ReplyDeleteI loved how it was a little serious in the beginning when you were saying you hate when people call you elieza and then more playful at then end when you were like whatever it deosnt hurt.
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot! It's better than you think it is <3
ReplyDeleteEliza I really like how I always mispronounce your name. SORRY. It is cool to see that your name is from your family.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that whether people think of an extrovert or garish when they hear your name that it doesnt really "hurt" or effect you.
ReplyDeleteI like the rhyming and the fact that you repeatedly state how you love your name. It's also interesting how your name is from your grandmother. Great poem!
