There are so many interesting screen names. Why don't you write a poem about yours?

Light A Light, Janis Ian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvgvHa4PnT8

I was told, "You are the light of the world",
and I believed them.
I was told, "You are the light of my world",
and I believed him.
You, dear friend, are the light of my world,
believe me.
Light my path and I will light yours,
see me, feel me.
Look into the light and steer clear,
watch for me.

My arms, your safety harbor.

Nice one. Glad to see someone trying poetic devices, such as anaphora.

Pen? Dragon? Pendragon?

Am I the pen or am I the dragon?
The writer or the beast of flame?
Do I write reams about magic flagons,
Or devour all as I seek for fame?
Am I the Knight who would become King,
Crowned with honor in the end?
Does my screen name mean anything,
Or will I be forgotten, a lonely man?
Will my poetry survive when I die
Or will no one recall my name?
Another drifter with a pen passing by—
Such is the nature of fickle fame!
I am the sonnet singer called Pendragon—
Another poet fallen off the wagon…

ordinary silence whispers my name
jikan comes the ancient call
oh budhist masters grant me silence
for in this world i wish not to be heard
let me move in silence from one day to the next
while i take on the mantle of dusty toy vest key's idiot
let the silence ring my truth
