Hey You Over There

The title captures the reader’s attention, It's like bait on a hook that draws the reader in. Let it be clever and creative; your own invention. It supports the message expressed within. A title can be like a magnet; it has pulling power, and compels the reader to take a look. Stops one in their tracks no matter the hour, they feel like they must open the book. The title can't be some mere afterthought, something that's made up at the last second. A carefully picked title gives books a strong shot; it can be so captivating that it will beckon. Some books are left abandoned on a shelf because their title didn't stand out in a crowd. A write with a stunning title advertises itself, choose one amazing; so you can be proud. 05/02/2021

Great poem Alexis, please read my last poem I posted, I have been out of action before with work, but this incident is still haunting me. Love and hugs my friend across the pond, so true what you say but just sometimes I just cant put my finger on it. Jennifer.

Magnificent poem ... cool title, Alexis! Remember the title, "Hey You, Get Off My Mountain," by the Dramatics. Well this poem has a whole lot of rhythm-and-true strokes of ink, dear friend. It's a golden fave of mine. Love and peace always.

I agree with you Alexis, it’s the title of a poem or a book that draws one to take interest in reading it… Belle

A title can draw readers, but I would not abandon my friends just for a title.
