What IS in a Name

Before he changed it,
Rumpelstiltskin's name
was Bob.

After he changed it,
the man was
Rumpelstiltskin.

Unmemorable
was the man
as common as his name.

Unforgettable
was the name
as singular the man.

Dorothy's Lament

Rainbows never looked the same.
Neither did the farm.
When aunt and uncles passed,
she sold her home and her shoes.

She moved to the city and rented
a high rise apartment with a view.
At least she could still see
the rainbows in the distance.

Walking in town, as the habit had formed,
she found an ally with bricks painted yellow.
In plain, brown boots she carefully stepped,
until the color began to fade.

An old man was there,
constantly adding a fresh coat,
then, white washing it away.
He'd rub his chin, then continue.

Without stopping or looking,
he told her these words.
"A traveler needs the right shoes
when walking a magical path."

There's no place like home
to the homesick.
At home, lies the traveler's heart,
torn between Journey and Destination.
