Do all poems need a title?

No, not all poems *need* a title.

Here's why:

* Traditional Practice: Historically, many poems were passed down orally and didn't have titles.

* Modern Poetry: Modern poetry often explores non-traditional forms and structures, and titles might not be seen as essential.

* Author's Choice: Ultimately, whether or not to title a poem is up to the poet.

However, here are some benefits of titling your poems:

* Context: A title can provide context and give the reader a starting point for understanding the poem.

* Focus: A title can help to focus the reader's attention on the main themes or ideas of the poem.

* Memorability: A strong title can help a poem to be more easily remembered and shared.

In the end, the decision of whether or not to title a poem is a personal one. Consider what works best for the poem and your own creative process.
