No exposure

No exposure. Poems are chosen based on monetary reasons and the BBB gives them an F. I'd never share another poem here or join another contest. They're about money not good literature

Love this site

Love this site. I use it more than any other. You need to make an app and redo the website/app as a whole. Give us more options. Fonts. Backgrounds. Layouts. Etc. outside that... Love it. Thanks

Poetry website greedy and not good

Dear poetry team,

Thanks for the coupon code but unfortunately, I try to apply it and it doesn’t work.

So much for promoting me after all the work I have put in on your website contributing over 700 poems of the 2000+ that I have written and published in my lifetime.

I hate to tell you this, but your website is a joke. You only take PayPal for payment and even though my debit card has a MasterCard logo on it. You have to pay to submit a comment? What kind of poetry website are you?

Honestly, I really think your website is very greedy and you’re not very open either. You charge people money just to send a question or a comment. How greedy can you be?

Well, I guess this coupon code wasn’t any good.

Thanks for nothing. I am going to reconsider whether I should allow you to display my work any longer. Your word means nothing!

Same as last time

Same as last time, four stars are being offered to rate the poetry platform.
The rate is not to affirm that I have a good acquaintance, or it is not a matter, whether I trust or not trust the poetry platform, however, as stated time and time again, this platform is a relieving window of my inner self, it is helping to vent out, what I inhale, all sorts of information, after digested/processed:- finally, time-to-discharge-what is stored in that inner-part-of-self/vacate to give in a space for other information to inhale to digest. The platform, means pricelessly a lot for me. This is not in terms of financial, but, more than that, - sometimes, after I jotted down what I feel and what I consider needs to be vented-out/ all that ideas which touch different areas of life, [ the feeling, after venting out, using this platform’s window, it is ‘ health’, by itself- to vent-out, what you consider/refer as analyzed-ideas from your soul/your inner body. Thanks for such platform of window. Thanks 🙏🏻 again.

Have always liked writing poetry as an outlet and this allows you to have your poems seen by people with a similiar disposition,they have monthly prizes to win if poem noteworthy enough, you can also review fellow budding poets work and get points for it, the more you do the less you may need to pay to promote and enter competitions, all in all a great site for those of us with a poetic bent.

Treasure Trove

I have collected over the last few years the incredible and inspiring works of contemporary poets whose works I would have otherwise never have known. This is one among many of the virtues I have discovered at this site. Another and closely related virtue is that Poetry.com provides writers from around the world to share their poetry to an exceedingly large community of readers: comments and words of encouragement and support are often left, and bonds of friendship among writers often fostered. That every poet from any background is offered an opportunity to share their voice is no small achievement.

I love this site.

I started using this site way back in 1996. I discovered it when I starting writing poetry and I wanted a place to keep all my writing. I loved it then, I had over a hundred on site and they would always offer me special products with my poetry on it. Once the new owners adopted this site, I started to feel excitement again cause I wanted to support this platform I’ve used since I was in high school. It’s different in many ways, but it has the same idea. I’d really like to see my old works but I think it was all erased after the new ownership.

I was introduced to your site by a friend who received information through mail in 2002.She encouraged me from her love of my poetry to enter the contest. I have a published poem in your book from that year. I love poetry when I’m going through tough times, it truly helps me express myself.

Good platform for sharing poetry, but room for improvement

I've been using Poetry.com for over a year now to share my poems and connect with other writers, and a won a few of their monthly contest. Overall, it's been a positive experience. The community is genuinely supportive - I've received thoughtful feedback on my work and discovered some talented poets I never would have found otherwise.

The submission process is straightforward, and I like that they have different categories for various poetry styles. The layout is clean and easy to navigate on both desktop and mobile.

My main gripes is that while most community members are great, you do occasionally encounter some harsh critics who aren't very constructive.

Poetry.com offers you decent features, though some of the premium tools seem overpriced for what they offer. That said, I've found value in the basic features and have improved as a poet through the feedback I've received.

Would recommend to anyone looking to share their poetry and get genuine feedback from fellow writers.
