Question: When do you title your poems!?
I always title mine after I finish writing them because it allows me to take any direction I want!. I know some people that like to title it first, and build the poem around the subject in the title!. Others title theirs days, weeks, or months after its completion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I usually come up with a brilliant idea for a title about half-way through writing, but not always!. Sometimes I get one at the end of my rough draft!. Sometimes a title doesn't come until I've finished the poem entirely!.

Comments on my poems please!? =)
