2009 Eleventh Grade Winning Poems

Not Unique

I don’t know what my name means

maybe crazy

in Croatian or

Lanky

in Indonesian.

Whatever it means,

Julia

is my name.

By my parents, by law.

No unique way

of spelling it

Like, Beyonce.

Not a name

passed down from generation

to generation.

It is my name

nonetheless.
