Lemme Throw Out Some Titles...

^^ hey sorry i didnt know someone else wrote with that title until now! im so sorry!

I do this, i love coming up with titles, i sometimes think of the title then write the poem its a good stimulus, love these titles might try it out one time xx

Thanks to PygmyPuff for the title 'skulls and stripes' =]

~NinjaGirl~

^^ I used that title too

Lol i don't feel lonely now ^.^

I like skulls and stripes

Oooh thankies.

I'm giving two titles. It'd be good if someone write something about those and post here.

i) Beyond the sky

ii) Talking Stars

Beautiful writing invredible imagery incredible poem all together

Beyond the Sky

beyond the sky is a world so free
unlike my mind, locked inside me
beyond the sky you'll find your heart
but not quite so torn apart

beyond the clouds is shining sun
raining down on all the fun
beyond the clouds is hidding things
joy to life it brings

beyond the rainbow is that pot of gold
forever lost to the world
beyond the rainbow is hidden pain
which we all try to contain

beyond the sky there are so many things
hidden from view, you will see
look beyond the sky and you will find
its the only way to truly be free

I guess I will try Skulls and Stripes.

Heading out tonight
Hanging with my friends
Going to the beach party
It's getting hard to keep up with the trends

How about the leggings with the skulls and stripes
Underneath the short red dress
Or how about just casual
Its hard not to look like a mess.

I think the skulls and the stripes
Really bring out the red
But I really think casual is better
When you look at it on my bed

I will save those Skulls and stripes
Maybe for a later day
But until then, I will put them back
Because the car is about to drive away

Woah, that was really hard to write. Haha, but anyways, that would be my shot at it.

That's a good idea!

Titles can be a pain to think up - thanks for sharing!

Titles are usually the hardest part for me as well. I love the last title <watch me as I watch you>

Nice- I like Watch me as I watch you and i think Dust and more Dust is a slightly common title.

Been gone for awhile but im back ill take errors of a fragile mind

Errors of a fragile mind
Make these windows barred
And yet no one else can see
How badly my brain is scarred

Tainted realities
Form inside my head
Is it really my fault
That I wish I was dead?

Or is it the abuse
That my soul has sustained
It seems so impossible
To keep these nightmares restrained

Society made me this way
Sanity is what I left behind
Now all I have left
Are errors of a fragile mind

it came out pretty good (sorry if its too dark)

I wrote one =D, i used one of nightmarechild's titles. its short, but yeahh ,, lol.

I could scream my heart out,
They're not listening anyways,
But if someone would stop and stare,
I would laugh until it hurts.

I don't care,
i just don't give a damn what you think,
Just let go,
And scream your heart out, they're not listening anyways.

I just want to lose control,
And forget about everything,
Just laugh so hard and let go,
I could just scream, and let it go.

hope its okay.. tell me what you think =D

I picked "Social Affair".

"Social Affair"
by: Briana Coulter

I'm stuck in this room,
full of mysterious strangers.
I'll keep my mouth shut,
to keep myself from danger.

I don't quite understand,
why I'm feeling all alone.
There's so many people,
but my heart sets the tone.

It tells me to stay silent;
not to say anything.
But I just want to scream,
and not dance or sing.

Maybe I want to cry,
and let my feelings out.
The thing that stops me,
is my undying doubt.

**Nothing special. Off the top of my head.**

P.s 2 people can use the same title
because two people might have different takes on the title

so im going to try beyond the sky

Beyond the sky
Is where my love resides
I miss her but I know one day
We will stand side by side

I can see her staring at me
From the skies above
I confide in the stars
To send her my love

Thousands of miles away
I can still see her face
Why did she have to leave me
In this god forsaken place?

So if I die before I wake
Without the chance to say goodbye
Me and my love will be together
In our heaven beyond the sky

this literally was written in 15 mins. i lust wanted to write it because i like the title

The Vinyl Rain Jacket

I spent my dollar and thirty-two cents on
A vinyl rain jacket, purchased by yours truly.

Rummaged through the bins within
The nearest thrift store
Couldn't find the best or worst
California. Overpriced.

Stepped with my cheap
Shoes that no ten-year old should wear.
Touched the banister
Of a rickety staircase.

Held on tight as I ran to the second floor
Breathing in silk dresses and satin bows.
Spun around within this treasure chest,
Hour by hour, I explored.

I found it! A luxurious gown
Fit for the princess I wanted to be.
As I scrambled towards it, I clamored to the floor.
My pumps ripped a vinyl rain jacket.

I spent my dollar and thirty-two cents on
A vinyl rain jacket, purchased by yours truly.

Ill take the fatal reality of my broken heart

feel these words
throbbing in my chest
please god i beg of you
dont let this be another test

it has to be over
so close and yet so far
touch my soul
you can still feel the scars

before my mind looses control
so far and yet so close
i cant keep hoping for your miracle
cant keep begging for another dose

i know it seems crazy
but you're tearing me apart
this will always be
the fatal reality of my broken heart

i really like this one

Ill take talking stars

Talking stars, talking stars
You make my thoughts transcend
These mysterious words you speak
I still cannot comprehend

You whisper to me
Breathe in this shade
give in the stillness
And simply taste the blade

Feel this silence
Listen to the silent cry
But I can't believe my purpose for living
Is simply to just die

Talking stars, talking stars
You don't control my fate
If you really want me to die
You're just going to have to wait

My present makes my future
Not my past
This is my closing statement
Be sure its not my last

(defintely wasnt my best)

Ill take another doctor

Here comes another doctor
Trying to tell me how I feel
I see him flinch when he looks me in the eyes
Because all he sees is steel

You have a p.h.d
Hanging on the wall
Degree from Harvard, magna cum laude
Yea, I've seen them all

I'm no child
This isn't pretend
Don't get in my head
Unless you're ready to transcend

This session is over
So lets get something straight
You don't know me so
Stop talking like you can relate

it was alright

Great job everyone, good flow in here

Skulls and Stripes

The flag was tattered on the ground
Protected by dead bodies, blood and tears
All alive closed their eyes and cheered
To make the situation better then it appears

Still none of the survivors smiled,
They refused to ignore the truth
As they glared at the battlefield
Of so many dead in youth

The war was won but the battle lost
In their hearts they died as well
Along the side of their comrades
Who now were rotting in hell

Darkness enclosed the soldiers life
Angered by these governmental types
No longer do they salute the red, white and blue
As anything but skulls and stripes.

-I didn't put too much effort I don't really like writing about war but it's what I thought of when I read the title.

Well written i thought the same way but i didnt know how to put it but you did very well on this title

Thank you i'm sure it could be better but as i said it's not a particular favorite title of mine.

Yup understandable a few of these titles didnt turn out to good for me either

I guess ill try counting hearts

Any normal person
Would hate to do what I've done
I've broken your heart
And yet I've only just begun

This is what I do
All hail the heartbreaker
I live my life in the fast lane
Call me a risk taker

After a life of heartbreak
And many a broken pledge
I've been pushed to my limit
I'm living on the edge

Payback is so sweet
All is fare in love and war
You think I took your heart
I'm still counting more

Hey all!I just decided to participate in the discussion board after 4 years:P Let me try "The sudden stop"

It's a crazy ride
It always has been
And all your hopes run with the wind

It's a crazy ride yes,it always has been
But keep in mind all along
Somewhere there's a sudden stop

I saw her eyes screaming with words
I saw her lips forming my reasons
I longed to touch, I longed to live
I speeded on rails of hasty dreams
I gave in to her treason

It's a crazy slide, it's a lonesome fight
And she never says goodbye
She just keeps driving me into her darkest night

And I enjoy, face to the sky
I never tried hard to deny
But when it ends I will move on,
Cause somewhere there's a sudden stop

WOW!!! All of you are great!!! lol
I had fun reading all your poems....
And all the titles without poems. he he he

The Porcupine Ball

Your love is so well protected
Even when you have rejected
Nothing I can control anymore
You are my only love to adore

Yet you shield yourself from me
But through your shell I can see
Your heart does beat for me still
So through your shell I will drill

Underneath your spiky comments
You are soft with loving torments
Release your love and your heart
The love between is beautiful art
