499

Where do titles come from?

I'll tell you.

I don't know.

********************

Seriously, I need help here. Strong poem, absolutely no title. I'd really like to include it in my manuscript for Denver, but I refuse to not have a title and no one word or phrase really stands out as title material. Can't I just be Dickinson and use numbers?

Alternatively, you could call your poem "The Discontinuity of Atlanta's Thrawling." I think that's the perfect title for your poem.; 1/21/2008 11:30 AM

I usually use "xq42" when I'm stuck for a title. Has a nice ring to it.; 1/21/2008 1:47 PM

Oh, hey. That wasn't the Big O. That was me.

Of course, I'm in disguise now, but still....just felt a need to clarify.; 1/22/2008 2:06 PM
