Another name

Why writers choose pen names and how this changes destiny

Another name, new story

As open cower of fresh note-book

To write on white paper, untouched

New beginning.

To stay the same and just rename

For others to be more suitable,

More usual till be mundane

With a new name.

All this is inside of writer’s head

When you see the line -

Add your pen name.

Was it a proposal?

Did they know?

Should I tell them?

All doubts disappear

When you know yours

New name.
