If you are like me, you may have had many untitled poems over your writing journey. A notebook full of nameless pieces. I have used at least three of these techniques. Here are a few suggestions that may help you name your those children you conceive with your pen:

1. Use the first line of your poem as the title.

2. Ask a friend for help to read & name your poem.

3. Are there any repetitive phrases in your poem? Utilize it!

4. Consider the theme and write a title that expresses it!

5. Pick out a few keywords and compose a title with them.

6. Write a sentence to use as a title and then write your poem.

7. Brainstorm a lists of titles for reference later! Use in conjunction with #6 or write your poem and then consult your list to find a suitable title.

8. Use the last line of your poem

9. What kinds of images does your poem convey? Write a title that depicts a relevant image or picture.

10. Sum up your poem in 5 words and use it as a title.

Adaline Penfinger didn't experience a traditional birth. She was built. Adaline's mother figure built her at the onset of her arthritis in hopes that she may still put pen to paper. A traditonal writer, Elizabeth didn't like using a typing device so she built Adaline.
Adaline or Ad-a-line dictated her purpose and her fingers executed the purpose at the sound of her mother Ebby's voice. Adaline had 10 pen nibs for fingertips and a toolbelt drapped around her waist filled with bottles of ink. Though she was built she was quite life-like and the perfect companion for a lonely old widow who smiled upon her creation like a mother does when she sees her child for the first time. Adaline could speak though she choose not too, whenever necessary. After her mother Elizabeth passed she lived within the shadows of their aging mansion. She spent her days doubled over a large writing tablet yet in the midst of grief's mist she discovered that she could now write for herself. She wrote for hours watching as the words poured from her fingertips, ceasing when the wind blew out her candle. Adaline took that as a cue that it was time to dream. She curled up on the futton and slept. The left over ink stained the couch.

Two of my favorite bands are Bon Jovi & LP. I've been to two Bon Jovi concerts. They were both really good but first one was more fun because it was the first time I went to DTE music theatre and I went with family.
