# Poem From Titles (Destroyer, Muse, Metaphor)

Rating: 5.0


THE DESTROYER

Like life... the destroyer… he made me…absent…
knowing…at the finish… anything and everything…
from big to small…nothing…nothing is sacred...
what for why... the search…the connection...
small deaths...dead stars…mercy killing….
now or never...goodbye forever...the end...

MUSE

Enigma….
wonderment…
you are….
gold….the prize…
my muse…..
beautiful….heartbeat….
Listen…
magic happens…

METAPHOR

Day of empty…
lament in silence….
barely writing……notes for leaving…..
a living will…..

by the second line…
a sudden turn…a poem writes itself…

His life as a poem….
a lesson for living….
metaphor…

Note:
The poems above are made entirely from titles of my poems. I got the idea from the poem “Tying Up My Titles in a Titillating Way” by Shornjoe Crockpotter.

Great idea. Certainly a new source of inspiration. Names of people could serve the same purpose.

You and Shornjoe are the resident geniuses of this site, I've figured out. This is amazing. I might have to try this some day (I've only got 700+ titles to choose from; is that cheating I wonder? lol)
