  1. It may be so obvious as to be non-creative, but:

    Poets United Anthology #1 ??

    I like Thoughts That Breathe also.

  4. I left this comment on the Poets United Forum, but thought I would also leave the thought here.
    Hope 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

  5. hmmm let's see, i came out with a few and some explanations and tagline =O

    The 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 :)

  6. 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.

  7. Love 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!!

  8. Amending my previous one, and combining with Sherry's suggestion, a title/subtitle:

    The Poetry Pantry
    poems from Poets United #1

    (start with a good name already on the site, and promote the source)

  11. Hi Robert,

    I 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

  12. 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
    there 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...

  13. I agree with Sherry and Paul - Poets United Anthology #1 it makes sense that it should promote the site too.

    But I also like the idea of a subtitle and there are a lot of great suggestions, I do like 'Thoughts That Breathe' among others.

  14. I really like Bernadine idea a main title and them subtitle.

    I 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

  15. The one up there that stuck out the most to me was 'Concrete and Sugar'.

    A 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.

  16. I like "Thoughts that Breath" and Poets United
    Anthology #1(Sherry n' Paul's) I like Bernadine's idea of a subtitle pulling our thoughts together a common thread!

  17. As an FYI

    Thoughts that breathe is a portion of a quote from poet Thomas Gray.

    “Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.” ~ Thomas Gray
