titles in poetry

I chose to write about the title in poetry and how it relates to the author's work. In the poem “We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks the title is very significant in the way it creates emphasis. This poem is very thought provoking in terms of what it could be about as it is very short and nothing is repeated. We real cool is the first line of the poem, but the poem could be about something completely different if the title didn't emphasize the We Real Cool part.  I really enjoyed reading this poem and the title of it helped me absorb the meaning and theme. Over all, poetry is an interesting thing and the title can really help the reader out when he is trying to find the idea of it. In some cases I would say that the title can be just as important as the text itself .
