We read comments left on poems and the name of the reader who came to play, sometimes they just leave a name, sometimes an image. There are many reasons why as individuals we have by choice created an illusion in how we appear to the Allpoetry world. Some are just happy to leave their name others leave behind an image. This got us thinking what do these images mean or why just leave your name…..so here it is guys, ladies, gents and all those in between, a contest where you can say what that image attached to your name means …..if you don’t have an image then why your AP name what does that say about you….yes I know some use a ‘proper name’ tell us why. Have some fun be creative…….enjoy.

Pre-writes
You should add pre-writes. I've written many poems about the tale behind my name/image. I've pretty much used up everything I have on the topic ^^ Food for thought. -
good idea for comp...sadly i have a perfect poem for here but pre-writes not allowed but here's the link anyway you may like to read it >> http://allpoetry.com/poem/3164472

Oh too bad you're not allowing pre-writes since I already have a poem with my AP name.... next time.... good luck
