This is just for fun, but if you like the poems you find you can also create your very own collection of them. Simply click on the heart symbol next to the poem to build your own collection in your MyArchive space and call it ‘Challenge No 3. Then you can share it with your friends, and even share it with us via our contact page. Good luck!
