The sun soars,

My skin roars.

One Side burns

The other Numb.

 

The sun is free,

Guaranteed no fee,

Yet I sit out,

Protection none.

Hi Mono. Apparently the image you've used for this poem is not free to use. Also the image you used for the previous poem is not free either, though it may have been illegally used by bloggers and have given you the impression it might be free.

It takes our editors quite a long time to check these things so, while we love you using pics, it would be greatly appreciated if you could just get them somewhere like Flckr where it's really clear what you can use for free and what you have to pay for. 

If you could do that, and also please go through the pics you've used and remove those that need to be paid for. Thank you

Thanks for taking them down. Apparently the one you used for this piece is only marked as a stock image held by I-Stock and/or Getty Images, and the other is probably illegally marked as free to use because it's appeared on a blogger's site. I know it's confusing, but we have to be really careful as we can't afford to get fined (and people do get fined)
