I left this comment on the Poets United Forum, but thought I would also leave the thought here.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day :)
Robert, I don't know what kind of submissions there have been, or if they are inclined toward any specific theme. But how about the Anthology name to be something like: Poetic Symphony or Poetic Symphonies
This Anthology could be
Poetic Symphony: Thoughts that breathe
or
Poetic Symphony: Gems from the Poet's United Community
or
one of the other suggested names
Then, in the future if/when there are other anthologies, it can also be
Poetic Symphony: Healing & Hope
or Nature's Song
or any other themed or general name
But the Anthology itself would have a primary name to use for future editions that would be able to always be linked to the Poet's United community
hmmm let's see, i came out with a few and some explanations and tagline =O
ReplyDeleteThe Anthology of Unity
> Modify from the name of community and the book
LiteraFun
> Litera (Comes from Literature) Fun, everyone knows it >=P
The Teacher of Rainbows
>Sharing and encouraging within the community in the light of the rainbows!=D~~~ We are all "teachers"! It is not just an collection but a community within a book :D~
Prized Poets' Dream
> A place and a dream that shared between one another, it will be a wonderful journey through the book :P
Visions Upon the Sight
> Seeing through the eyes of a poet's work, you will be mesmerized...
Dunno if this works, but if you have a title of your mind, I can assist you on the designing part if you are interested :)
Bernadine love the idea and it makes total sense. I did want the title to always remain the same and have a sub title taht could change. As for a theme I really cant string one together as the poems are all so varried so far. So possibly Thoughts that breathe. I fiure we can narrow down the choices here by friday and then put it to a community vote. I am going to twist your concept into it a little bit though.
ReplyDeleteLove all the suggestions. I will tie them all together, narrow the field and then put the remaining ones to a community vote so please keep them coming!!
ReplyDeleteAmending my previous one, and combining with Sherry's suggestion, a title/subtitle:
ReplyDeleteThe Poetry Pantry
poems from Poets United #1
(start with a good name already on the site, and promote the source)
"Visions/Letters"
ReplyDelete(Visions)
1. visual perceptions/perspectives
2. inspirational experiences
3. goals and dreams
4. vivid conscious perceptions in the absence of a stimulus (hallucinations, mirages)
5. eyesight of multiple individuals
6. persons or things of extraordinary beauty
(Letters)
1. written symbol of alphabets (typeface)
2. messages
3. another word for literature ("arts and letters")
4. paper size for writing
5. submissions to a publication
6. as a verb, to assign symbols to objects/surfaces
7. correspondence of a writer or writers
So many great suggestions; I will throw a few in the hat
ReplyDeleteWhispers In The Wind
Transparent Dreams
Blueprints of The Soul
The Layered Loft
Open Window
Fragmented Souls
Convex Arc
Ripples Across The Pond
Hi Robert,
ReplyDeleteI think Sherry has hit the nail on the head:
Poets United Anthology #1
Promotes the website and leaves the option open for a subtitle for each future edition.
Best Wishes
Paul
I think Poets United Anthology # could work, but I think each issue should have a name, a focus. If it is coming out twice a year, then
ReplyDeletethere could be a seasonal pull or some kind of focus.
I like Grace Notes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_note
It is a symphony performing for one purpose with a pause. I like the idea of it, but not sure about the name.
Spilled Seeds
Familiar Pavement
Ethereal Pavement
Reflection
Mirrored Time
Just throwing these out there...
I agree with Sherry and Paul - Poets United Anthology #1 it makes sense that it should promote the site too.
ReplyDeleteBut I also like the idea of a subtitle and there are a lot of great suggestions, I do like 'Thoughts That Breathe' among others.
I really like Bernadine idea a main title and them subtitle.
ReplyDeleteI like Thoughts that Breathe
What about:I can see the two together. Creative and promotes the site.
Poetic Symphony: Thoughts that breathe
Poets United Anthology #1
The one up there that stuck out the most to me was 'Concrete and Sugar'.
ReplyDeleteA few I thought might be good:
- Scribbles of Nuance
- Planks Beneath Our Feet: Poetry (or something like that)
- Words Reinterpreted.
For me, picking up a book of poetry always starts with the name. It has to grab my attention, make me curious about what's inside, make me want to turn a page or two.
I like "Thoughts that Breath" and Poets United
ReplyDeleteAnthology #1(Sherry n' Paul's) I like Bernadine's idea of a subtitle pulling our thoughts together a common thread!
As an FYI
ReplyDeleteThoughts that breathe is a portion of a quote from poet Thomas Gray.
“Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.” ~ Thomas Gray
I LOVE the subtitle of the Poetry Pantry - again, a tie-in to the site, where we first posted some of these poems.......Philip - brilliant idea!
