On titles.

Another poem will be up, today.
I'm writing again, and that's awesome.
It's "done".
It just...needs a title.
Titles are really really hard.
For some people they aren't.
Some people are okay with an obvious title.
And some people can just pull out the title that fits.
Sometimes my titles just come to me.
But more often than not it takes longer to title a piece after it is finished
Than it takes to write the piece itself.
I have to search. And search. And search.
Because there is always a title there.
One and only one that fits.
But the search is justified in the end,
Worth every second.
Because when poem meets title that is when it is finished,
Made whole.
And nothing feels better than that.
