Every now and then I have a flash of an idea that turns into a title for a poem or story or expository piece for this blog. Sometimes these ideas pop fully blown into my head leaving me to type as fast as my fingers will allow. Sometimes I have to coax them along to fruition. Sadly, often these ideas go no further than the title stage.
I’m still suffering from some mental lag brought on by a combination of travel stress and daylight savings time. Nothing other than the desire to nap, snack, and repeat has manifested itself into my brain in the past two days. So I went to the place where titles go to percolate or expire–the dreaded “draft” folder.
Here’s one. What was I thinking? Wine must’ve been involved. And maybe paddles. Wink, wink.

Well, I guess this next one might’ve gotten a bit sticky….

And the age old question didn’t awaken my muse.

Here are a couple of ideas that so far have gone nowhere.

And maybe I could combine these next two.

Fellow bloggers, do you do this? Keep a file of “might work” titles?

Some of these need to go in the trash file. But not today. Today I’m feeling desperate.
Peace, people!
Some great raw material to mine…..try mixing the titles and see what you get ……..” the Virgin Spaghetti ” ….”Future Beach Combers “…..” Which came first….sex or ping pong ?” …..

I like grey day but change the title to gray. According to the internet the Brits use grey whilst we Americans use gray so there lies the confusion to your brain. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

I would borrow the ‘grey day’ and ‘trouble came looking for me’ – no one would even notice that these are borrowed. And also the ‘last night I made…’ – to confess the violation of my diet. Don’t scrap them, you never know.
