Appealing as text facade with significance worth
Best titles readily expose poets’ feelings, may they be angst or mirth
Claiming attention for comprehension of whole poem’s girth 
Declaring essence, despite seemingly sense of dearth…

Expressed clearly using well-thought phrase or phrases
Full titles are freed from chains of synonyms already forming sentences
Garnished however with either word or words bearing surprises
Hailing punctuation marks in appropriate places…

Imparting truth propped by poetic style
Jubilant titles can reach hearts across the mile
Kindling interest for the entire message not just for a while
Lingering to prevail in the readers’ meditation-file.

Meant to ignite souls toward enjoyment fullness
Nourished faith-titles are packed with spiritual label-richness 
Opening with earnest desire to communicate love’s greatness
Prompting the craving for more in declaring Sovereign goodness*.

*Psalm 52:1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
