Poetry.comReviews of poetry.com

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.

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 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.

This website helps encourage poets and writers to share their works and by doing so, we get to read and appreciate each other's creativity.

Title: A Creative Oasis That Honors the Heartbeat of Expression. From the very first verse I shared, Poetry.com felt like more than a platform—it became a mirror reflecting my voice, my rhythms, my roots. Submitting work here wasn't just about publishing; it was about participating in a living, breathing community of storytellers and truth-tellers. What I appreciate most is the space it gives to authenticity. Whether I’m weaving metaphors inspired by my culture or gifting lyrical tributes to loved ones, the reception has been warm, respectful, and affirming. It's rare to find a corner of the internet where sincerity meets style—and this site does both beautifully. The interface is clean, the feedback loop meaningful, and the exposure surprisingly humbling. I’ve discovered fellow poets whose words sing in languages I feel in my bones. That kind of connection is priceless. So if you’re looking for a place where your pen is not just heard but felt—where storytelling becomes soul-telling—Poetry.com might just be the stage your spirit’s been waiting for.
