Anchored Thoughts

Like a body needs a head to start So does a poem need a title smart A title is like an anchor that holds it apart Held down,keeping it steady right from the start Till you flow into the middle of a poems heart Into verses we need to compart Every poem converts into works of art Captivating from the start to engage The title on top makes the spark rage Words are like characters on stage Emotions and feelings expressed on center page The body flows with the framework of age Releasing your thoughts locked up in a cage As we read the title once more to re-engage. 30.4.2021 Contest Name: What’s in a title in 14-20 lines Second Place Sponsor: Line Gauthier

Very true. I have had some fine poems ignored just because of an ill chosen title. Good luck with the contest.
