I'm going to look through the poems and see if I can find another line from a poem that might say teh same thing, but not so big.Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-66684839027786257172012-05-28T08:33:43.191+00:002012-05-28T08:33:43.191+00:00I liked Sister Spirits, or maybe spirit sisters? I...I liked Sister Spirits, or maybe spirit sisters? I am a bit concerned about being too harsh, even though the reality is that two are dead. I haven't thought of not titling a poem, but that's something I'd like to try, sometimes the poem just says it all and the title either gives too much away or is really obscure!Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-45768908872788315402012-05-27T23:42:12.838+00:002012-05-27T23:42:12.838+00:00I like dark, creepy poems, so I find the 'Thre...I like dark, creepy poems, so I find the 'Three sisters, two are dead' title intriguing. I like the idea of taking one line or a phrase that resonates and using it for the title.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283504667601100354.post-54245055322566147962012-05-27T14:31:51.567+00:002012-05-27T14:31:51.567+00:00Do you need to title them all?

I have seen poetry collections where poems remained without.<br /><br />As for the collection title, you said "Three sisters, two are dead"- I agree it has a hook, but it is.. well, harsh. or Blunt. That might put people off.<br /><br />Without reading the content, and going purely on what you've said- what about:<br /><br />Loving Silent Hearts<br /><br />or<br /><br />Sister Spirits<br /><br />or something like that?Torggilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334950543060001029noreply@blogger.com
