How To Come Up With The Best Title For Your Poem / Story
Sometimes writing a title for your poem can be more complicated than creating the poem itself! However, your poem's title should pique your readers' curiosity and persuade them to continue reading, making an excellent first impression.
Tell a story with the absolute minimum of words:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."
The notion that Hemingway wrote this title is based on a fanciful narrative about a bet he and other writers made. Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke relates that Hemingway "is alleged to have won a $10 bet from his fellow authors." They paid in full "It's here. I still weep every time I think about it." Reach for your emotional throat.
Tips on coming up with the right name for your poem
Ask a question/conflict. Monosyllabic words have a significant impact, but their meaning is associated with an inherent conflict - an opponent or an obstacle to overcome (repeatedly). We are intrigued by the title and want to know more. Therefore, question and conflict are critical elements of the title.
