I Write Sad Poems Instead of Talking About My Feelings
The castle is distant, and him without a horse,
faithful lord thwarted; my lover
thought to find a princess
and instead: a lonesome dragon, a stony fortress.

I love how poems short as this can still say so much. And that title really amplifies the meanings of this one. It’s very comforting to know that we can always turn to our craft as an outlet when it can be hard to open up to others. Great poem, thank you for sharing.
This long title is less powerful than these four lines that follow.
I’m going to disagree with mtpoet–I LOVE a long title juxtaposed with a short poem. The title is doing WORK–almost drawing attention away from the poem itself for a minute as you are drawing your attention away from your feelings and onto the poetry.
