You may enter as many times as you would like. You may use more than one per entry, but don't make several creations/poems and enter all in one.

If you are unable to use the picture in your post, please put the link in your author notes, THIS IS A MUST!

If you just like the picture, and don't know how to make backgrounds/borders/tags and so forth, I still want your poems based on the image(s).

 

If you are inspired to write a poem for what you have created, YES, include it!

 

Please label accordingly.

 

Check back often, I may add more images! 

 

If you have any questions, please ask.
