For example, you may choose keywords like "good" and "sister," creating a title like "The Good Sister" or "Be good, Sister." You can also look up the keywords in the poem and find other words that mean the same thing, but have a better sound or ring to them. For example, you may use a synonym for "good" to create a title like, "The Excellent Sister" or "My Precious Sister." If the poem has a main character or characters who are named, use their names in the title. If there is a main setting or place referred to in the poem, use it in the title to help ground the reader. For example, if your poem focuses on a girl named Eva and her pet swan, you may use a title like "Eva and the Swan." If your poem is about a Denny's in your hometown of Sturgis, you may use a title like "Denny's in Sturgis" or "Denny's, Sturgis." Focus on any verbs or adjectives that stand out to you in the poem and highlight them in the title. Find 1 verb or 1-2 adjectives and place them together. For example, you may choose a verb like "beating" and create a title like, "Beating" or "I Beat." Or you may pick adjectives like "blue," "dying," and "stunning" to create a title like, "Dying Blue" or "Stunning Blue." If your poem has lines that repeat or a verse that appears several times in the poem, use it as the title. Often, lines or verse that repeats are important and worth highlighting for the reader.

Draw the reader in and engage them with an image that is memorable, strange, or interesting. Find an image that feels important in the poem and use it in the title so your reader is encouraged to keep reading. > Avoid picking an image that might give away the crux or turn in the poem. The image should provide some context for the reader but not give any revelations in the poem away. For example, you may use an image of a woman leaping over hurdle on the field, red dirt flying in her wake in the poem, and create a title like, "Red Dirt Flys" or "Woman Leaps." The last line usually contains key details about the subject matter in the poem. Pick out an image or words in the last line and use them in the title. For example, if you have a last line like, "She ran off the field, in victory," you may create a title like, "In Victory."
