If you want to improve your site, you’ll have to get people excited about poetry. To do that, improve engagement. Daily competitions will get your members engaged. Chatrooms will get your members engaged. A ranking system will make it interesting for members to take poetry more seriously. Eliminate the monthly contest. Rather, build up a contest with a higher prize pool. And, “all” of the buy-in money should go to the contestants. I know your company thinks it’s okay to use that money, but you’ll have to make sacrifices in order for a bigger prize pool. Do away with members voting; they’re not reading the poems, at least most aren’t. Rather, they’re picking the poems closest to the top. That system doesn’t work. Maybe have a panel of judges, including an AI? Set the AI to judge on most original and creative. In the daily contests, not all prizes are cash. Rather, some of those prizes are buy-ins into the contest where the prize pool is much bigger. Answering question: I stopped participating in the contests because out of 250 participants, only 34 actively read my poem. I’m assuming those numbers were mostly the staff. It would be safe to say that over 200 contestants are not reading every poem presented, but randomly choosing three poems.

I enjoy posting my poetry on the site. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like it really gets much reading. I see a lot of great poetry there that has like two or three views so I kinda don’t know if it’s a place for people to post who actually want to have their poems read much. It also seems like a great place just to back up some of your writing and having it be available via a link for friends and family. All I wish they would clean up the site getting rid of like the classical poets et cetera that are featured there as well and only keep it for new modern emerging poets. My understanding is that the site had been down for a while and is now making a comeback so I do appreciate its efforts.

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.

My experience on poetry.vom has been great because I am able to read others poetry and find clarity of peace of mind into seeing others point of view. I do not have any complaints because I like what the company is doing.

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.

awesome superb excellent experience i am having here thank you
