poems up for contest

just an idea, not sure if anyone has suggested it before

but do you think that maybe the site could have the poems that are in the contest in a different color heading or perhaps even be in bold print or have a feather next to it or something so they can be easily identified?

i find that i keep deleting poems after the contest is over altho i love the comments i do it in an effort to keep the reader focused on what i have posted for the current weeks contest...

also perhaps expand the options of tags to maybe later down the line have the weekly contests be judged by categorizes it might give more opportunity for winners every week.

i realize there are alot of emotions out there but maybe you could narrow it down to the basics when being submitted with an extra button this way the poet would have control of what category they would like to submit it too for that weeks contest.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
