titles

I can never think up a good title, one that encompases the text without giving away too much, something that will lure the reader in. As you can tell from my entry titles, I'm not very good at coming up with them.

In one of my creative writing classes, our first assignment was to name three of our favorite titles and think of three of our own. Just titles, nothing else, whether or not we would turn them into poems was up to us. Fahrenheit 451 was one of the titles that I named and still remains a favorite of mine as far as titles go. Even though we were only supposed to be looking at the title, it was impossible to seperate it from the work it was connected to.

I wanted list my current favorite titles, but I can't think of any. Instead I keep thinking about favorite poems, so I'll list a few of them here instead.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
