Fantastic poem Tamsin, I love the imagery you create, so good!! Titles are so hard aren't they, in this case I think 'Lost' works so well, but I know what you mean about trying to have better ones, there's a knack I think, I just haven't found it yet!! :-)
Thank you Lisa. Titles are hard, I’ve read that short ones don’t do poems justice and should be longer, but also that long ones can either give too much away early on or change the mood. The ones that won ( there are always two winners) had longer titles and concentrated more on the story behind Terry loosing his/her keys, rather than describing the scene. I felt I took a more autistic view. It was my first time trying this challenge and we were asked to describe the picture so I did exactly that, and even avoided the word Terry. Live and learn. It’s a fun challenge though if you ever fancy giving it a go.
It sounds complicating but worth giving a go, I tend to be more literal in my approach, same with prompts, I find it very hard to write descriptive stuff that strays away from the word in the prompt, ah well, the joys of a poet eh?! ;)
