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.

Dear Teddy
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
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.
Dear Tyro
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?
The art of heart...
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.

You got through to my message. So I would take this as a yes to the title?
Yes...
is the word. I think the title fits perfectly. ~ Geezer.

Hi desert flower
Since this is the poem which you think could use a stronger/different title I'd suggest "POET'S PURPOSE"
Interesting
thank you Stan for the suggestion and teddy for the approval.
Are we supposed to edit the titles immediately as suggested?
NO
In fact you don't even Have to use Any of the titles . But any one of the suggestions if not used Might just inspire a new title of your own
