A name poem for a teen-aged girl whose choices will eventually define her:

Jessica is now sixteen:
Exceptionally sweet.
Shining through her ready smile
Sunshine brightens us awhile,
Intense but not complete.
Choices gather, hard and lean,
Along her dappled street.

A name poem for a woman alight with passion:

Trina is a passionate delight,
Rich as the ripe velvet of a rose.
In her one finds the glories of the night,
Nor dark nor still, but filled with braziers bright,
Aglow with pleasures sweet as Eden knows.

A name poem for a girl whose yearning must await her more mature self:

Tonya has blue eyes and short red hair.
Overall, she is a budding jewel.
Naïve yearning is not yet self-aware,
Yearning fear and ignorance ought rule
As time reveals the self she'll choose to wear.

A name poem for a woman who is so much more than an object:

Maureen is tall and lovely, a slender tree
About to vanish into delicate leaf.
Underneath her graceful bas-relief
Rest a curious and impertinent mind,
Even temper, and a heart that's kind.
Elect to view her as an object and see
Not even one tenth of what the world could be.

A name poem for a woman whose one experience of love was quite sufficient:

Julia is the mistress of her fate,
Undoing knots that might constrain her ends.
Love came to her in life a little late,
Intense but short, though quite well worth the wait,
About as much as Julia cared to spend.

A name poem for a woman whose too-obvious allure gets in the way of love:

Jacklyne has shoulder-length dark hair,
A dimple on each cheek, hazel eyes,
Come hither in her smile and in her walk,
Kisses poised like jaguars in her talk,
Licentiousness stark naked in her sighs.
Yet nights of tenderness for her are rare.
No man has faith that she could really care,
Even as she strips off her disguise.

A name poem for an impish woman:

Alexis is chock-full of hugs and kisses.
Light goes through you from her laughing eyes.
Enthusiastic for the lilt of life,
X-raying you again for sheer delight,
Impishly surveying your disguise,
She aims right for the heart, and never misses.
