Her name is unusual and she may not like having it splashed around. You might want to use another name....just saying....– LambieCommented Apr 18, 2018 at 20:49

Generally it's considered more polite to capitalize a person's name.– Hot LicksCommented Apr 18, 2018 at 20:52

When you have finished writing your poem I suggest you run a spelling check.– DavidCommented Apr 18, 2018 at 20:54

This is tough. In a poem you can get away with anything if you are clever enough. Here is an example of of a (presumably beautiful) girl being compared to (good heavens) a time interval:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
So you have an opportunity to stretch for art. Just go with your gut, and if you fall then fall from a great height.

@Edwin & Co, you have completely failed to see what the questioner was really after. Commented Apr 19, 2018 at 13:48
