poetry.com?

answers1: It just something poetry.com come says to anyone who sent a
poem too. Trust me, I been in poetry.com for a year and so have my
friends...it just a thing they say to make ya feel better.
answers2: The responder above me is absolutely correct. They are a
vanity press, meaning you pay them to publish your poem/s. They tell
you that you have talent, that your poem has been selected, etc.,
etc., etc., and it all serves to boost your ego so that you'll more
likely pay the price to have your poem published in a hard cover book.
That being said, if you really want to see your poem in a hard cover
book alongside other poems and poets, then pay the fees and they will
deliver a handsomely bound book and I can almost guarantee your poem
will the be first one in the book. They do this to promote their
company and so you are more likely to order more books and will feel
some degree of pride in having your poem listed first. Face it,
there's nothing wrong with self-publishing as long as you do it with
your eyes open and understand that you got your poem published because
you paid to have it published, not because it will win any awards. To
those who have never been published in a hard cover book, it's worth
trying at least once. To those who want to be published based on
merit, then don't pay the fees and delete any emails you receive from
them (and there will be many). Just don't be fooled by the
hype...that's all.
answers3: complex issue. look onto google and yahoo. that could actually help!
answers4: Oh no! You have been scammed. Poetry.com accepts and
publishes everyone's poetry. If you send them money (for a book or
something), then they will steal it.
answers5: Poetry.com is what is called a vanity publishing company
where they try to get poets to pay them to publish their poems.
Everyone who submits a poem gets the same response. Soon they will
send you information on their book and how to get you poem in the next
one. Try this...write the most ridiculous poem you can think up, no
rhyme, no meter, nonsense words and submit it. You'll get the same
response. I know because I did it.
answers6: Yes.. i concur.. the whole thing is a ploy to get you to
spend money to attend their "poetry awards show." Don't fall for it
bookey!
