ENTITLED OR WHAT? a spin off
Blog Posted:4/11/2018 2:45:00 AM
To follow up yesterday's blog below,in the absence of notes to aid understanding ,the 'title' can be quite significant it would seem...and yet very few poetry teaching guides ever touch on this aspect of our artform.
How much consideration do you give to titles? do they come easily to you from the context?Do they indeed come before you complete the verse?Are they an afterthought for you?or are they in reality an integral line of the poem itself.(,they are of course with many short forms such as my footle form)
Generally for me they come later,after completion,and required some thought as here one needs a title to be able to post the poem,and this site is my chosen place for my anthology.
AFTERTHOUGHT
Of course,prior to the net many poets that I read often used the word 'untitled' to some of their offerings!
