What's In A Name? by NOMAR Knight

What's in a Name?

What's in a name?

By Nomar Knight

Doesn't  matter I try to comply

Bound by rules of the game

Hoping my words satisfy

Praying they don't come out lame

Maybe to you we're all the same

Players of words and themes

Illusionists to treat like a frame

Purveyors of fantasies and schemes

Nevermind I bleed on a page

Grasping words as if from thin air

Not some lion in a cage

But a prince trapped in despair

If my work brings you pleasure

Or intrigues your mind's eye

Then why not treat it like treasure

Let's avoid saying goodbye

A misprint once or twice

Is human I admit

But more than thrice

Just doesn't fit

Your cool Mag does its part

And ya'll do a great job

But these misprints break my heart

Makes me choke back a sob

So please no more Normar

Nor Norman or whatever

This Knight is called NOMAR

I'm a dark poet not a whoever 

I believe all experiences can lead to good things.  In my case, the editor of one of my favorite online magazines, SNM Horror Magazine, seems to have difficulty with my first name.  They've been kind enough to publish some of my poems, but somehow, they tend to get my name wrong.  While I haven't thrown a fit, nor have I thrown knives at anyone, nor have I tortured anyone because of this infraction, I do appreciate that this experience has led to me doing what I love best.  Hence, I wrote this poem.  

To show there are no hard feelings on my part, I include a link to their fine magazine and my latest poem, Chains of Damnation.  Enjoy my poem and all the others.  Enjoy their great stories and amazing art.  And please do subscribe to their newsletter.  They do great work and amazingly, are still free.  

And yes, if you scroll down to my poem, you will find that my name is spelled correctly as of this writing.  Thank you Mr. Editor. ;-)  And thank you Kerry Morgan.
