Journal Prompt/Poem
When I think of the name Hunter, I think of a boring name. It is normal and blank like the sky on a summer afternoon. With the sun beaming out of its clearness My name has no ring to it, no interesting letters, no interesting sound, and no interesting meaning. 'One who hunts', that is what my name means. Not trying to be mean, but I could have easily guessed that from a mile away! Speaking of a mile away, my name comes all the way from Poland and Scotland! That is much longer then a mile though. No celebrities are from Poland or Scotland. However, both Hunter Hayes( who is a singer) and Hunter Pence(who is a professional baseball player) share my name! Its kind of cool knowing that people that are famous have the same name as you. I have 2 nicknames, Luchi, and Luciano. Both of my nicknames come from my grandpa. Everyone who knew my grandpa thinks me and him are exactly alike. He was tall just like I am. His heart was also as big as mine too. He was a gigantic tree that could speak, a wise and tall tree that spoke knowledge to anyone and everyone. He took booming steps when he walks "boom boom boom"I take pride in my nicknames because of the meanings behind them. Knowing that I carry his knowledge and wisdom deep down inside.

Hunter,
Great job! I think you forgot or don't know about the famous Sean Hunter from Boy Meets World. That show is a classic and even though you don't have the same first name, you should feel special nonetheless.
This was a very well written poem, I loved it! I especially loved the part where you said your grandpa was a gigantic tree. It made his seem like he was a very good person!
Hunter, I loved your poem. Something that really stood out to me was how you mentioned your neck names and further explained their origins. Great job, dude!
I like how you expressed how much respect and love you have for your grandfather and what he says. I can relate to that when it comes to a specific person in my family.
Omg I mean nicknames
I liked how you related yourself to your wise grandpa and I liked the metaphor you put with it.
Your name is not boring or common or blank, it may be to some people who can't see the meaning behind the name, not the meaning OF the name but the person you is given the name. Just like the sky on a summer afternoon, your name can show so much meaning if you can see what lies beyond it.
