white
the color of skin
in every language it means the same
named after an elder
that is now passed away.
only one way can i see how it fits.
the color of skin
though it only causes demise
Blanche
to whiten to bleach
too cook some green beans
but i prefer boo
a nick name I'm given
by Friends after friends
the fall of the leaves represents me
the changing of colors that
show its almost the for the falling of the snow
so here that is me
my name and my story my date and the screen
so now that you know
i think i will go and wait for the time
the seasons and the rhymes

my name is blanche and it means white and i am also a white person not that it matters. white is purity and purity is so not me but you get the drift my name is white that is what i am and always will be till the end of time.

I like how you included all the definitions of blanche. French for white. But I'm a bit confused in how the white applies to you. Just that you are white..or born in snow? Anyhoo..good luck in the competition.

I enjoyed reading your poem. My all time best friend shared your name. She went by Cookie though. I like how you used the fall season, leaves chaniging color as in you changing moods. Good Luck! God Bless, Penny

Hmmmm I didnt really understand this, but make no mistake..It was well written. I think sometimes poetry only make sense to ourselves to I'm not writing this one off, I think you understand it better than anybody else. So, all and all...Nice job. Good luck in the contest

thanks for the entry. I liked this, though it seemed a little jumbled and forced at times. Nothing too major though. Good job and thanks for entering.
