CabCool, are you selecting A visual entry under the image before you submit your work? You can still post the entire poem; however, the image will be much larger, allowing us a closer look.
This is so heartbreaking—nothing should be caged. . .

Dear Ahavati
Thanks for your observation, as well as for endorsing this work.
Please note that every poem I post carries a link in Author's Note that takes readers to a full-page view of the exact visual that appears above the poem. Unfortunately, one has to copy/paste the link because this page does not allow hotlinks.
Sometimes I DO publish a separate visual version, which then follows the regular route for an enhanced JPEG image.
Sincerely
