    Hey =)
    Firstly let me say that this is a marvellous contest -- great theme and lovely background.
    I have a poem about a secret place.. but it's not about me, it's about an imaginary girl and her own secret place, so i was wondering whether I could enter it?
    Thanks =)

    I put a poem in this contest. Then I removed it. You may get better entries in your contest if you understand that some people take poetry as a serious art and resent being expected to do stupid and clownish things.
