Could we please make the "Themes" option in "Submit Poem" actually optional, so you don't have to attach themes in order to get your poem posted if you don't want to? I wouldn't mind as much if it let you add your own themes, but it doesn't, and not all of my poems are easily categorised under the limited range provided, Also, I don't particularly like categorising by theme, as I think that it kind of defeats the point of a poem to add keywords explaining what it's about.

It would also help if theme suggestions were looked at occasionally.

I would say it's a good idea to add in custom themes, as the current ones can be very limiting. Sometimes I want to post a poem, and I struggle to find the correct theme for it,and end up choosing the one that fits most.
But adding custom themes would be great.

I think it's easier to find poems when their in themes, but it would help to have written ones.

All great ideas but as I write this the Theme category isn't even working for me. I can't begin typing a "theme" for that theme to populate. I have to click "Help Me Find Themes" in order for me to input a Theme.Very frustrating.

this proves one thing g moderators don't read everything cause know they have the way you access themes harder to navigate where it takes longer than the actual poem to find and add

when you read a poem you can see what its theme is,
you don’t need to explain it

Yes,but what if let's say you only want to find a specific theme of poem,like only love poems? You don't want to search for hours,instead you insert the theme; and you find said poems you want to read.

If you want a love poem, you click on Love Poems. There’s no reason to force writers to stick themes on their work when you already make them choose a genre.

I agree the themes are very limiting. I understand why they're there, but it would be helpful to have a larger selection pool or make them customisable, including the option to opt out of using them altogether.
