I Am Bored With Titles

I’m bored with sifting through the trite to find a poet who can write with passion that can stimulate the mind’s of those who take his bait. I’m bored with titles that don’t tell of magic written down so well that had the invite shown appeal we'd all be hooked on poet’s reel. So poets when with skill you write, let titles shine out through the trite and let your label show with pride the passions that poor titles hide. The poetry is never done however skilful you become for you will never strike a chord if your intro’ leaves us bored! Ivor G Davies Written for the contest " I AM BORED WITH............ (though I am afraid I will have to alter the title before I publish it in my next book!)

True, but you must admit, sometimes the hardest part in writing a poem is its title, at least that is my experience.

I cannot agree with you more. A good poem can easily be overlooked due to a wishy-washy title. I enjoyed this poem, Ivor. Smooth, as always.
