Best Title Poems

help mrs. muse is gone and my mind is shooting blanks 
my friend called inspiration is trying to walk the plank 

motivation just married mr lazy 
and confidence started acting really crazy 

cousin common sense is on vacation out of town 
and aunt intelligence is nowhere to be found 

uncle rational is at the casino...

Leaning against the ropes, eyes swollen half closed

Its been a long fight....

Blood dripping from a dislocated jaw

Body beaten and bruised; taking a few more blows

Crowd screaming; colourful figures; cloudy sight?!

Knocked down a few times but, not counted out yet

Not yet; still standing to catch a second wind.... ~

My foe is fierce and relentless, the best...

This is my humble tribute to our dear Soup member Constance La France, using some of her poem titles. This is, again,  inspired by the "Title Wave" contest that was sponsored by our Soup member Richard Lamoureux last year. Thank you Richard Lamoureux for the inspiration and thank you dear Constance for the wonderful...

In the middle of my own small world I stand,
Both feet planted firmly on the land.
Gold is the sun in the sky.
Oh, that I could fly!
Then you see -
I
Would be free!
Earth-bound, though, I sigh.
I'll remain so till I die.
Knowing that out there is something grand,
In the middle of my own small world I stand.

What "do you see"
"What are you looking for"
"Why"
Why "do you do what you want"
You know it causes Me pain
You could be "my everything"
"Are you determined" to go it alone
"Sure" you can rely on your own wisdom
"Each" "moot" point " you" "test"
"What you want you get"
"Just know" it will never satisfy
"Ready or not" the end will...

This is my humble tribute to our dear Soup member Andrea Dietrich, using some of her poem titles. This is actually inspired by a contest named "Title Wave", that was sponsored by our Soup member Richard Lamoureux last year, in which I did not enter, but had always wanted to write one Title wave poem...

She remembers the shimmer
of one Sunday morning
The sun had grown dimmer
on the overcast seas
The color of yellow,
spread long amber fingers
And the sycamore trees 
cast strange somber shadows.

There was a threat in the sky
and the faint sound of thunder
Then a flash in the hills, in the blink of an eye,
Clouds gathered so quickly on the hillside,...

My mind is always running like an overflowing faucet
Like a never ending bouncing ball that someone took and tossed it
Paid for with attention that I forgot how much it costed
As my mind will sometimes lose itself and I forget just where I lost it

A mind is that a beautiful place yet it can also be...

The sponsor chose words I’ve never heard of before
So if I don’t win the contest I’ll declare he’s a bore


It’s axiomatic that I’ve an altruistic attitude
But I don’t give a fig if folks think that I’m rude!

I’ll sign a declaration of my asseveration
Then bare my teeth like an angry Alsatian!

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long...

My time on Earth has reached its end.
I’ll always be your poetry friend.
I’ve enjoyed the time we had to share.
Thank you all, I’m glad you care.

My pain is gone, I’m now at rest.
Keep on writing and give your best.
Don’t be sad now that I’m gone.
Just use your words and carry on....

I don't have a title for this
But I promise that fear won't become my rival from this
I won't let a horrible moment make me suicidal from this
I have a lot to get off my chest but I don't have a title for this

I refuse to be broken so I'm trying to stay strong 
but the...

There is a test for personalities
by Dr. Hartman called “The Color Code.”
He studied folks both here and from abroad.
In every land exist a basic four
he’s labeled Yellow, Red, or White or Blue.
The test has nothing though to do with colors.
You answer questions based on how you felt
when you were a young child, and that’s because
the...

I'd rather see you joyful
than shedding many tears
I'd rather see you confident
than weighted down with fears

If I am feeling happy
then happiness I'll sow
If I am feeling sadness
then you will never know

Ladies say, I’m an everyday gentleman
Haters say, I’m a dark knight
I was born on poor ground fit for a pauper,
never lived a prince Waldo life
Honorific titles, I had none — 
no sir,
no officer ...
no mister
Just a simple birth name
Later in life, 
my surname got added a nickname

Titles tell others who society say you are,
self given...
