It would be dope as fuck if non-English submissions were accompanied by an English translation, though.
Poetry memes?
Original work welcome! Go ham, any day of the week.
Image submissions, i.e. photos & scans, are totally cool

I heard a word
I meant it in my brain
Another word sounded absurd
Everyone thought she was insane

The second word in truth they said
Was 'I', but it was never known
What speech the word, what tongue the talk
What power has the telephone

And in the end when words are null
And all is but an inky black
The power of the word is clear
The word's power is only here
