Explicit Poem

    Hi,
    I've just posted a new poem called "Damak Rose" which could only be posted in the explicit section.
    As you may realise by the title, it is nothing explicit, and is actually about the American poetess Emily. It's obvious now, her surname caused the site to "think" I was using inappropriate language.
    I was wondering if there is anyway I could post it in a more appropriate category for the poem's subject, as I know I will get very little feedback on my work there. s I canot get improvement suggestions on a poem that isn't accesable.
    I realise I may be able to put stars through her name, such as D**kinson, but that spoils the poem, don't you think?
    It's a shame such a great poetess has such an unfortunate surname, well for posting on this site anyway.

    Can any one help please?

    Edit the poem and put the regular name there. Don't worry about surnames or anything. Just edit it and put it in the normal category you wish.

    I can't, that's the whole point....
    An error message comes up saying

    "We cannot accept your poem since there might be some inappropriate words!"

    I've tried it all, honestly.

    The inappropriate word is Dickinson!

    I mean come on, if I can't use my favourite poet's name in a write of mine, what kind of poetry site is it?

    Anyway. I take it there is nothing that can be done, so I'll have to deal with it....
