The problem of titles



When I wonder
how I mean
and
who I feel
I reach for this . . .

It puzzles me
what then appears
without
a recipe

I have a confession.
Sometimes, the title comes before the write.
Blaming my muse for this problem.

Yes...

you have not truly met the poet.

Most of the time my titles come after the poem. It is rare that I have an untitled work.

Cool poem. Kinda liked its melancholy tone.  I also thought of replacing the word "recipe" for "receipt" initially and was left wondering how the use of "receipt" would have changed the intent of the poem
