I'm not sure the Muse visited me this week, but I did get thinking about well known people with fitting names. Here are my ruminations. (Just a couple notes. Diana Nyad is a long distance swimmer. Lumiere means light in French, but not in the sense I use it at the end of the poem. It's only a pun in English.)
Nomination
If character is fate,
can names be destiny?
Was Wordsworth born to be
a poet? Could Diana
Nyad be other than pure
swimmer? And if the Brothers
Lumiere had not invented
the film projector, would they
have written light verse?
