We’re getting down to the wire on the three anthologies. So far, about 35 writers are participating with about 116 of their/our selected written creations.
I’ve had so much fun with these projects, and the quality and quantity of the creations have been so wonderful, that I’m considering compiling a second poetry anthology. I’ll probably begin a list of additional poems I love once the last of the 104 slots in Heart Whispers are filled so we’ll be off to a running start if I decide to go for it.
I mention all this because I’m toying with some possible titles for the second poetry collection and could use your help in selecting the best one to use. Four I have in mind all refer to something I often say to creative people when I experience their work:
“Thank you for sharing glimpses of your heart and spirit with me and the world.”
One is related to various sayings with a similar theme. I’ve adopted a version as a personal mantra and motto:
“Time spent doing anything without love is wasted.” (It is why I sign off “With Love” in my posts.)
Two other options combines the two ideas.
If you’d be so kind, please tell me which of the following you like best, or, if you don’t like any of them, please let me know.
Glimpses of Us
Glimpses of What’s Inside
Glimpses Inside
Glimpses
With Love
Glimpses of Love
Glimpses of Our Hearts
None of the Above
Perhaps with so many options you could mention favorite and least favorite ones. Thank you for your support.
With Love,

I like the third one. To be honest, they are all good.
Thank you, Shian. I appreciate your help!

Russ – You’ve gone beyond all expectations in assisting all writers, including myself, in getting their work out there. I have no idea how you keep track of everything, but you do a masterful job. From the title choices above, I’ve taken a lead from what you’ve suggested and changed it just a bit, but then I’m a romantic when it comes to poetry. I’d always pick up a book titled, “Glimpses Of Our Hearts.” However, all of your suggestions are excellent.
Thank you Sheri! What a kind and beautiful thing to say. I’m honored to have your creations in Slices of Life. I love your idea and will add it to the list of possible choices for feedback from others!
Russ
I like Glimpses of the Heart.
Glimpses of Our Hearts I’d Good too. What nice sayings Russ! Enjoy your projects.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. The tallying continues!
Russ
I heartily agree Sheri! You support writers so well. We appreciate you!
Thank you for such kind comments. I too appreciate you and all you bring to my life.
Russ
Glimpses of Love yep that’s the one
Thank you, Joanne!
Russ
Russ you’re amazing! I like “Glimpses” but I know that whichever one you decide upon will be perfect!! One day I hope to be able to participate!
Thank you! I would love to have you participate, my friend.

What about a glimpse of a soulful heart? I find glimpses plural a bit awkward, singular I love;) as I’ve enjoyed a glimpse of our future in heart whispered words:)
That’s a good point about the plural of glimpse, though since the anthology would include a glimpse of many soulful hearts, if I went with the idea I’d make the word “heart” plural.
Thank you for your suggestion!
Russ
🙂 sounds right:)
Glimpses, as plural has also thrown me….A Glimpse Inside Soulful Hearts….A Glimpse Inside Hearts of Soul…A Glimpse Into….?
I like simply ‘Glimpses’…. Diane
Thank you for taking the time to support me yet again, Diane.
Russ
Glimpses of What’s Inside… reckon this is pretty good… but then they all are,,,
I appreciate your support, bulldog. Thank you for your feedback.
Russ
Glimpses of Us ~ Glimpses of Love ~ Glimpses of Our Hearts
are my 3 favs. You will know which one is best. Go with your intuition dear Russ. I am sorry I didn’t make your deadline of 5/31. But I will try again if you do it next time. xo
Thank you for your feedback. How soon could you send something to me? I may be able to make room for it if it’s a fit.
Russ
I don’t want to cause you any trouble Russ…♥
It’s no trouble at all, my friend.
Russ
Russ, I’d go with Glimpses or Glimpses of Moments
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and another suggestion, David. both are appreciated.
