The Art of Heart [Title workshop]

How would an art
be an art
if it hurts,
if it doesn't bring
a heart to a heart,
if it doesn't stop
a war, or if it gets
a war to start?

Poets aren't just
dream-makers, but
rather the successors
of messengers,

With their
messages poets
can bring the whole
humanity
together
with a clean pen
and a clean heart.

Your suggestions are always welcome, but my line supposed to say that (poetry) as an art should only bring the good to humanity and life.
I don't see how artists hurt, or do you mean are hurt?

Hi dear Rula
please excuse me for going into semantics, I do not if I am right it is just my feeling. In your title I feel heart is the subject and art the modifier, whereas in -the heart of art- I feel art is the subject and heart the modifier.
Since we are talking about titles what came to me was the purity of art, with art the subject and purity the modifier.

The most powerful reaction
of mind on mind
is transference of sight

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I'm not sure I'm getting your point. By titling "The Art of Heart", I wanted to say that poetry is not any art but the art of love (as heart usually the symbol of love)
Now does that in your opinion contradict with the title in any way?

While I cannot agree that poetry should always bring good to the reader, I will admit that the [Art] of the heart should be about how good [or bad] the writer brings the heart to the reader. Nice job of illustrating that the heart is touched by what we write. ~ Geezer.

SOME LOVE BLACK ART
What now thou sayest
of ARCHAIC harts
like butter jam tarts
poets have now gone off track
sad

all want a NOBEL
Four *** POETIC HEART
What of art
not many read poetry today
visit other sites
all *** display
poets galore
to make money*** more

You got through to my message. So I would take this as a yes to the title?

Since this is the poem which you think could use a stronger/different title I'd suggest "POET'S PURPOSE"

thank you Stan for the suggestion and teddy for the approval.
Are we supposed to edit the titles immediately as suggested?
