New Inspiration

Looking at my page recently, I feel that I need some new inspiration for my identity as a poet. My life has been pretty hectic, and I would like some ideas for a new border, new quotes, new poems, and anything uplifting, inspirational, or even controversial that you would like me to display on my page! I'd like to completely revamp, so please pass your ideas and help along! This is open to everyone, and I appreciate all your thoughts!!!

Thanks for your help!

love, faith

P.S.

You can look at my page for ideas, but I'm really open on this one...try to submit something that you think would help my page stand out!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 22
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 150, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you so much for all your entries! Some of you entered a little later than others, but I tried to think through all the poems. The ones I picked I felt best represented what I was thinking about, and I especially appreciated it if it was more personal! Thanks for making this a great contest, and let me know if it's okay if I use your poem for my new page also! Thanks again!

    To my mind, there is nothing sets a poem off better than a totally plain white background. A good poem does not need fancy work... and a less-good poem cannot be improved by dressing it up with fancy borders etc.

    Forget the art-work, and let your words speak for themselves!
