How do you pick titles?

    I know this may sound stupid, but I always write a poem for a title, which mean i already have a title that i write a poem for.

    ^i do that too sometimes... but when i write a poem, i just pick like a random phrase from it... sometimes... i think

    I usually use metaphors as titles.
    I find it easy to think of titles, i dont know why or how though

    a line, an important word
    i use an important word in the context of the poem then look it up in the thesaurus
    or i use a metaphor
    just be creative

    Either a line from within the poem, the true meaning/moral of the poem, or a synonym pertaining to the generality of it. Either way, just pick one that doesn't sound sappy and is somewhat related to the poem itself.

    Metaphors, main ieas, exotic words that aren't TOO unknown, qutoes from the poem, nothing sappy, morals, what everyone else said, etc.

    Well it depends what your poem is about or if not just pick out a few words out of your poem if you know what i mean.

    I used to struggle with titles as i couldnt find one and stressed myself out over it lol, then i used to use my fave line of the poem as the title. however with my latest poems i get trac to read them then she picks the title. i find this helpful as it lets me see what others think they are reading in my writing. its very fun too xx

    I use the main idea for some poems(aka the ones i let my sister see so she doesn't worry about me). but i usually find some way to put the reason for writing the poem in creative words. idk
