Awesome well equipped online site and cool friendly community, only wish pics could be posted for free or at least if we write several reviews on different poems. Thanks and kudos!

I finally fit in a community with young great minds which something not all sites offer ....and there is such a positive environment for everyone... I just love it

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.

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.

Foremost, the site gives all poets from across the world the necessary voice to speak creatively and share soulfully. I love the comment section where we can offer each other encouragement on our verse. The fee for the contest well worth it. ****What I would like to see is a change to the structure of the contest. Each month we all get to enjoy the poetry of 150 or so of fellow artists. This can be taxing. The volume wears me out and I cannot devote all my efforts to all the poems. Let's revise it: Let 5 groups each read 30 poems randomly selected. They all pick 10 poems they like, in no particular order. Pool the poems together to make between 10 and 30 that would make a list of favorites. Then vote again on that list from 10-30. Now all the favorite poems will be guaranteed several readings , as from that list the top three will emerge. (In the contests that I was fortunate enough to receive a prize, not everyone read my poem, which tells me that in the current format, voters may be quitting after the first three they like). We can comment on poems we like as we go, making easier and more fun..

This world is full of talented writers who never get their work recognised because they do not have a “name” . poetry.com gives everyone a platform to show their work to a world wide audience. It’s a wonderful feeling getting positive comments from people all over the world. The gift you have been given would be totally wasted If the fruits of your labour are never tasted. Thank you Poetry.com

I like the site and the poetry collections, but the monthly contest is a bit pricey.

I love this site. It gives you your own space and you feel published. Also people who actually care about poetry read your poems because other writers read other posters poems. And lastly, I like all the options there are for entering important data a out your poems. I do wish the monthly contests had themes to help you decide what to submit.
