My name is Nya.

My name is Nya.
It kills me.
I hate it!
People often misspell it.
I wish it was simple.
I want a new, normal name.
Maybe then, I could find a cup with my name on it.
And I would not have to pay extra for personalized items.
I am also saddened that I might not ever find another Nya;
And if I did, it would not be spelled the same.
I want a nickname that is a shortened version of my name;
But name is already short.
Three Letters;
Two syllables:
Nya.
What would they call me?
Na?
Ny?
Ya?

My name is Nya.
It is as delightful as a new box of 'Wheat Thins'.
I Love It!
People often misspell it.
I no longer wish it was simple,
Nor do I want a new, "normal" name.
And do I really need that cup?
What is a few extra dollars for being special?
I now value the fact that I have not yet encountered another Nya.
Although, I am still pretty sure that it would not be spelled the same.
I now have a nickname,
Nine letters;
Three syllables:
Nyra Banks!
But I am finally content with just being referred to as...
NYA!

    Your name is cute and simple. Nya reminds me of a African Princess for some odd reason. :)

    I like how you stated what you didn't like about your name, then stated what you did. Good job!

    Nya, I like how the personalized cup and the few extra dollars came back into the second paragraph. Very creative way of integrating thoughts.

    I really liked your poem. I especially liked that you talked about how you didn't like it, and as time changed, you started to like it. Overall, a great poem!!!

    I love how you made it into two poems that reflected how you used to think about your name and how you think about it now . It was amazing .
