I actually don't think Garamond and Palatino look that much alike. I can easily tell them apart anyway, though perhaps either would look nice with your template.
I wonder what it would like like with Linux Libertine, though, which I have as all three formats: True Type and Open Type and Type 1, and is a pretty nice looking font in that sort of family.
I don't read a lot of poetry though, so I'm not sure that I'm going to get a lot of use out of this.

Well, I'll be making more templates, and the rest will be more general. I just wanted to start with something that I myself wasn't sure was possible in LaTeX (or, rather, possibly for me to achieve in LaTeX)... and the corner decoration was it.
I'll make a version for pdftex, which uses standard LaTeX fonts instead of truetype/opentype.
Edit: I did not mean to suggest that Palatino and Garamond necessarily look alike. They are, however, probably the most common serif fonts that are aesthetically superior to the dread Times New Roman.
