171.  That’s Just Icing
And I saw a hummingbird today.  Today has been marvelous.  I am happy and keen.  The hummingbird in her tiny motor sounding glory is marvelous too.  That’s Just Icing to see and hear the nectar thirsty hummingbird.  Whenever I see the hummingbird in my garden I say aloud - ”Today is a good day,” and smile. 

172.  CULMINATION
This is an intellectual title as one or two of you reading this won’t know what that word means.  In writing song lyrics, your audience has 1 or 2 seconds to get an image in their mind from your words/lyric.  Best not to use abstract intellectual words when you can use nouns.

When I say “My red hat” you get an immediate image.  When I say “CULMINATION of heartbreak” you have to THINK about it, like poetry, and it’s best to use such words for writing projects other than song lyric.

This is a good instrumental title as CULMINATION = Reaching of the highest or lowest altitude or point.  The highest point, zenith; climax. (Webster).  A great definition of jazz riffs, classical tangents and music in general.

173.  PLUS ONE
What a positive title = PLUS ONE suggests expansion, addition, more.  It even suggests intimacy.  PLUS ONE - one person - the lucky guy or - the lucky gal - one coin - addition, one color, pink,  one chord one movement BDE - your art - for all to see.  Me + 1 = 2.
Bop be-do, Bop be-do, Bop bedo one
Bop be-do, Bop be-do, Bop bedo one

PLUS ONE PLUS ONE PLUS ONE

159.  Rogue Is Vogue
With the great success of Sarah Palin’s book titled  Going Rogue, the word “rogue” is enjoying some popularity.  Rogue, which is defined by Webster as :

1.  A wandering beggar or tramp; vagabond 2.  a rascal; scoundrel 3. a fun-loving, mischievous person 4. an elephant or other animal that wanders apart from the herd and is fierce and wild 5. an individual varying markedly from the standard, esp. an inferior one- 
can certainly mean several different things.  So the title Rogue Is Vogue, which can be proven in an essary - is a great title for a writing piece or an instrumental.

88.  Fat Dog
After reading an advertisement in a magazing about a drug you can buy to give your overweight dog so it will lose weight, my dog started looking fat. :-)  He doesn’t look fat when he’s playing.  But when he begs for my food he looks fat.  Fat Dog.

89.  CHECKLIST
The sound of a hard K gives a word power.  I am reminded of the main character in the novel/movie The Bridges of Madison County - Robert Kincaid.  That name is pronouned with vocal force - 2 hard Ks - Kincaid.

So CHECKLIST makes a great title and is easily pronounced.  I’ve got a checklist for you baby.  One - you’re beautiful, two - you give me chills and thrills and three - you’re all I see tonight, you top my checklist.

90.  Noticeably Quiet
A poetic singer-songwriter lyric title or can be a title for an instrumental piece or a piece of art/photoography/video.  Noticeably Quiet shows how an object can have impact and at the same time be subtle.  A huge redwood tree can be noticeably quiet.  So can a mountain, so can a snowflake, so can a lover sitting across the bed as he puts his shoes on.

19.  Wind Down Time - Friday is my favorite day/night to kick back and turn the knob up a notch, open a bottle of beer and dance.  Friday nights are for making noise - moreso for me than Saturday nights.  Maybe that’s because I used to have 1 1/2 day hangovers and needed the extra recovery time.  :-)  I’m tamer these days, but still enjoy a good Friday howl and know that Wind Down Time - is a necessary practice for sanity.  Wind Down Time,,, come on now stepping up and stepping out.

20.  Make Friends With The Butcher or The Butcher’s Bone
Make friends with the butcher
I tell you why
He’s got the rump and he’s got the hind
He’ll sell you some t-bone
He’ll sell you some prime
Make friends with the butcher
steak burgers ribs & shishkabob time

Moved to a new town.  Met a new butcher.  Asked for a dog bone.  He had some in the freezer and got me one.  He wrote on the beef soup bone wrapper = Dog Bone = and put it into my shopping cart.  I really wanted a fresh bone, but felt the occassion of our first meeting should be one of my gracious acceptance of the butcher’s bone.  I said “Thank You” and smiled.

13.  Menopause Relapse - This goes into Adult Contemporary about a woman who thinks she is grown up but suffers a menopause relapse and makes adolescent choices that reek havoc on the world.
14.  When Dreams Get Ugly - The other morning I woke & told K. - “Wow, I was just dreaming my dead mother was chopping off the sunflower heads with a nail file and the devil was collecting them and laughing hideously as he ate the seeds and spit the shells at me.”  Well, it wasn’t quite like that but then I said “I’d rather be in this world than that world” and I got up.

15.  3 Forevers - A special love gave me this one.  She said it will take - 3 Forevers - She used it as a measure of time.  I wrote her a poem and titled it 3 Forevers.  You’ll be my friend for - 3 Forevers.  I love you BRR~

7.  Romance Me - Run through the field picking wild daisies.  Come to me with a ribbon and a flower.  Once you kiss my lips, write a love poem.

8.  Don’t Bite My Leg Dawg - Create your own words like - dawg.  Not sure Webster has that one yet and I’m not sure what it means.  I am literally referring to the canine dog when I say this.  My dog Ada came to us about 5 months old and would bite our calves as we walked past her.  I told her “Don’t bite my leg dog,” and liked that as a title referring to this dog and all the dawgs the word dawg refers to.  I’m certain it works both ways. 

9.  Sninny Dip Dippin’ - My husband said he wanted to buy a pool.  I said, “It’s like this.  I’ll swim naked in the pool but won’t lift a finger to keep it clean.  It’s your baby.”  We bought the pool.  I swam naked and he cleaned.  Happy ending.  Ever skinny dip?  While vacationing in Canada we crawled over a fence one night to swim naked in a motel pool.  Happy ending.
