Poetry

An outlet for players whose creativity extends beyond the board. Post your original works here!

The posting of song lyrics is not the purpose of this board and as such please refrain from doing so. Exceptions can be made to this rule if you are the copyrighted owner of the lyrics and the lyrics are not found offensive by the majority of the population.
This board is a place to post your original works of poetry and prose and also a place for discussion of poetry and related areas.

We have received word from Fencer that other's poetry can be posted to this board. These are the two conditions:
1) When someone posts a known copyrighted poem, he must add the author's name as well
2) If the author is not known, the poem can be posted without problems

Subject: Re: Yes, Poetry.com I would have to agree is a scam..

Yes.. that is me as well..

I probably would have put more of my poetry on their site.. but, every time I submitt one it has to be submitted through a contest.. and then they have a limited amount of space you can use.. so I end up having to reword the poem.. or chop it in other ways..

That "Today was your B-day was put on to CD as well as in a book.. I had 3 or 4 others that were to be published.. I never bought any of the items since I could never afford it.. I was also a bit upset that my name wasn't showing under the published pages they have on their site..

And like you.. some of the poems getting awarded the prizes weren't all that great..

Mostly I use the site so I can show others my poems and they are stored somewhere so I don't loose them totally if I have puter problems..
