so, like, if i wanted to post an image as a background to a poem,
I can't type text over it?  at least not within MSN's Poet's Place?
 
I would have to do so on image editor on my cpu before uploading?

one way to do it is to link from the Documents folder - although only if someone is a member & signed in can they see it.  i forgot how i did it - but i can run a test again to refresh my memory.  i know you can insert the background & type over it.
yup.  but you have to create a Table and insert your picture there and type over it.  let me try that too, to refresh my memory.  yup.
do you know how to do a simple table?
 
 

chasm

the muscle of her thighs,
each arm a daughter of mothersea
(unseen enemy)
hurdling forth
there, into the pitch-black
 
a monstrous sea creature wraps,
her eyes
swallow up in one gulp,
and consume flotsam,
bodies in the mud -
 
violence, pandemonium
pagan trumpets yelping
corruption long installed -
 
all appalled by the legacy
rotting
in the angry hum.
