Your photo added to your poem makes a winning combination.
We welcome your poems in our Contact Us and Contributions sections; why not add your photo?
You may have noticed our simple website style: One small graphic on each page to help set that page's TONE. A very few pages have NO graphic, but NO page is picture-heavy enough to create what we think of as graphic static.
However, that single small picture is important...and if your poetry is published here, a snapshot could really make the entire page distinctively yours. In THAT case, the graphic wouldn't always have to be so tiny, either.
For example, let's say you wrote a bit of poetic humor about city smog and feel a somewhat LARGER photo would really get across the point of your masterpiece.
I live right in the city; I breathe the city air
That's where the money is, and I need to get my share
I love the local ambience. Every time I walk the dog
My lungs embrace that gray-brown stuff, that lovely city smog
I've now made twenty million, and will make twenty more
While fresh-air freak enthusiasts save whales down by the shore
I manufacture scrubbers to clean up all that air
Not to mention kidney cleansers. It's quite a fine affair
No, never would I ever wish that we could clean it all
I'd rather see smog hanging over every city mall
As long as we've got industry churning out gray-brown
I'm going to be a billionaire and own the entire town!
Yeah! That works, huh? I'm not even sure if that's mostly smog or fog in the picture; the image idea for this page came not from my own camera but from a cool website (see link below).
However, if you send us a photo to be included on your page of published poetic humor, you'll want it to be one of your own.
So, what do you need to do NOW? Why...NOTHING at all. Whenever a poem of yours is accepted and scheduled for publication, we'll send you a notification email. At that time, IF you want your photo to grace your C.P. (Contributions Page), you can simply hit Reply and send along the picture as an attachment.
Uh...then why this page? To let you start thinking, pondering, deciding in advance which masterpiece in your photo collection will be the very very best to enhance your poetic humor masterpiece.
