Destinational Wordplay
This week we would like you to take the name of your home town and use some word play to make it into your title for example I come from Nuneaton: Nuns Eat Tons or something along those lines and let the title you come up with inspire the theme of the poem. |
The Times They Are A-Changin'!You may have noticed that we've given a slight facelift to Poet Share this week. Trying to minimize loading times so that you can get the most out of the forums, we've switched to a text menu at the top and removed some images here and there that we didn't really need. With a new header pic and a redesigned portal page, we hope it isn't too much of a visual change for you; you should notice the pages loading more quickly, at least. If you have any suggestions, send me (Jamie) a PM and I will read every one of them with sincere interest! |

| Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
