Karma in HD

[Tiger the Lion]

I would like to see the fact you are talking about karma indicated by some image or action (which could still be in the title); as it is now the title kind of steals that journey for the reader.  

I like to write short poems as well, and the brevity can be very challenging. I consider titles for such a short poem tricky. If a title is too heavy handed, then it becomes a device the writer uses to circumvent brevity, by directly telling the reader what is happening (show don't tell, even for titles).  In short poems brevity is the key:  leaving a taste, a single impression, or invoking a focused thought. I think titling a short poem is much more involved than titling a standard length poem, and sometimes brevity works better without a title at all.

I also think in short poetry it is so much more tempting to break the rule, show don’t tell, as there is such limited space. I know I find that to be the greatest challenge of short poems.

Jeremiah, you are absolutely right about the title. I don't actually title most short work, and for awhile was posting them by date. The problem I've had is the poems become very difficult to locate, both here at PP and for files in general. So, the title is really a bit of a file name really. 
Excellent comments though. Your points are welcome reminders.

Thanks,
Paul
