Good Titles Make Life 'Verse' For Me

Good titles make 'life' verse for me (romantic, cliff notes, fantasy), though they do dictate trails I take, my vision’s mine (that’s no mistake!). It’s rare a title’s afterthought, though I’ve been there, don’t think I’ve not, still, I grant freedom to my muse to fly above more earth-bound views. I’d more explore a title’s gist than grant one to a poem kissed that’s witch’s apple’s helpless prat. (What’s named, full grown? How deep is that?) (1) Snow Whites succumb to witches’ guile (does beauty take one extra mile, or lessons learned forge love more true?) God bless! This answer’s up to you! Krakatoa Kritic #007 November 25, 2022 I find it hard to believe that even God’s Love is perfect in the present and does not get better with time. Is it beyond the pale to think that God learns too from creation Itself, including His/Her/Its children? I don’t think so! (1) Aphrodite, a goddess of love (and of prostitution) is often depicted as being born fully grown (and naked). She's a strange symbol for beauty however, as her beauty is thus separate from any other characteristic or individuation that is not purely physical. She is defined by (trapped by) her physical appearance, Snow White is not a whole lot different in many respects. She, too, is trapped by her beauty, frozen in time, waiting for a kiss! How sad is this! Is this why Greek men preferred sex with boys?
