Just food for thought

In a digital world overflowing with noise, it’s refreshing to find a website that actually listens. This platform isn’t just another social site—it’s a living, breathing gallery of real human expression. Whether you’re a poet, visual artist, writer, musician, or someone with a powerful story to tell, this space gives you the microphone, the stage, and the spotlight.

What makes it truly special is the community. People don’t just post—they engage, support, and uplift one another. There’s a genuine atmosphere of encouragement that fuels creativity and brings out voices that might otherwise go unheard.

The interface is clean and easy to use, making it simple to upload work, browse others’ creations, and connect with like-minded souls. It’s a space where art meets advocacy, where personal expression finds its audience, and where creators of all kinds feel seen and valued.

If you’re looking for a place to share your truth, showcase your talents, or just be inspired by the courage and creativity of others, this website is more than worth your time. It’s a home for the unheard, and a celebration of the human spirit.

I have been a memeber of poetry.com since the Spring of 2018. Since then I've published many poems and enjoyed reading and reviewing the works of many poets. I have been personally moved and inspired by the works of many of those poets.
I find the administration of the site efficient, respectful and encouraging. They encourage participation by promotions and contests. I have appreciated their individual communications to me.

I like Poetry.com

I like Poetry.com. They have an AI bot that analyses your poems. The only problem is, they seem to delete some of the older comments by other members on your poems.

Poetry .com is a good place to start out and to read and share interests in poetry and writing

There are many sites related to poetry and writing on the internet .Many have gatekeepers, guardrails and restrictions to publishing and are extremely controlled.What I like about poetry.com is that it is accessible to anyone . You can write your poems and share them .People comment and give advice on your work . It encourages novices to think about poetry and be creative . And this access gives confidence to many who would not try or think about writing .

Devoted user 😃😁

I love how easy it is to find any poem I want to read, and it's super simple to submit my own stuff too. This site's awesome, and I've been using it since high school. I graduated in 2008, so, yeah, I've been a dedicated user of poetry.com for a while now.

Until you can restore the archived poetry lost on this site before you took over and make it available to the previous incarnation of poetry.com's authors and poets i will have nothing to do with it. Let me know, Jason Jerome, jasondrinksalot, the only reason you're messaging me at all is because I've enquired previously though you've failed to respond.

Poetry.com a greedy exploitive website

My name is Charles Edward York and I am an American author and poet of 27 books of poetry. I realize this poetry.com doesn’t like to be criticized or held accountable for its ongoing mistake of greed over poetry. It’s pretty clear to me whoever runs this thing is not a poetry lover. They are in fact, more concerned about making money at the expense of exploiting others. I’m writing this because it doesn’t matter to me whether I am a platinum member or not. The simple truth is that I have to pay to send a comment and I am denied any comment directed towards poetry.com as well as an allowance to pay by any other means other than PayPal. They censor critical comments about them! I have the feeling foreign interests are at work here. I am an American author and poet of 27 books and this website won’t even allow me to pay with my own debit card to enter any contest. I am not even allowed. If this website kicks me off, I will know that it’s because they are more concerned with making money than they are honoring the good work of a very humble poet who is prolific profound and actually cares about other people.

I paid them $10 to promote a poem

I paid them $10 to promote a poem. They did not promote it. Furthermore, there seems to be no help, or support. I emailed them and received no reply. They have three accounts for me and I want them all merged. Do not deal with these folks.

Hi there,

Thanks for your review, and I'm really sorry to hear about your experience — that's not what we want for anyone using our platform.

First, regarding the $10 promotion: promotions are rotated randomly on our homepage and sidebar display, so it's possible you just missed it when it was active. That said, we're happy to double-check the status and ensure you're getting the value you paid for — just let us know the title of the poem.

Second, we sincerely apologize if your earlier message didn’t get a response. We do our best to reply to every support request within 24–48 hours, so if we missed yours, that’s on us.

Finally, we'd be happy to help merge your accounts — please send us the email addresses or usernames associated with each one, and we’ll take care of it.

We appreciate your patience and hope we can turn this around for you.

Warmly,
The Poetry.com Team
