Fees

I love the site! I'd also love to enter any contests available , but having to pay a fee is not good for me and I have such a tight budget.

A gentle push forward

To me, Poetry.com is something that I have wanted for a long time. I was looking for a space where I could finally share my words without pressure or judgment. Publishing my first poem there felt like opening a small window into my world. The site gave me a sense of quiet pride. It wasn’t about perfection, but it was about beginning. What I appreciate most is that Poetry.com invites you in as you are, with your thoughts, emotions, and creativity. That openness gave me the confidence to publish my first poem, and now I’m seriously considering submitting to their monthly contest. It feels like the natural next step, which is to challenge myself while still being supported by a platform that values authentic voices. Another feature I hope to explore is the opportunity to publish in more than one language. As someone who works and thinks in multiple languages, this possibility excites me, as multilingual publishing would be a wonderful way to reflect the diversity of voices across the globe.

My Best Friend

I absolutely love poetry.com. I entered one of my poems, it's been a while. I won a trophy and some other things. I was supposed to go to Florida to accept my award, which was given to us by Florence Henderson ( Carol Brady R.I.P.). I didn't have the money to go to Florida, but my poem was entered into a poem book. So cool.
I enter these contests, here and there.
I am entered in the July 2025 contest.
I love having an avenue where I can share my poems with other poets. Everything I write is true stories, of people in my life.
The poem I entered for July is about my Best and closet friend. We were like sisters. She passed away March 20, 2015. 5 days before my birthday. I will truly miss her.

One in a life time

Poetry.com has long been a recognizable name in the world of online poetry, known both for its accessibility and its controversial past. Over the years, the site has undergone several transformations—from a once-flawed vanity publishing platform to a more refined user-generated content space. In its current form, Poetry.com is an open-access poetry community where users can share poems, read others’ work, and connect over a shared love of verse.

Amazing Opportunity

It was great. Being able to share your original poetry and the chance to win a prize is wonderful. Even if you don't win, the opportunity to be a part of the community with others sharing their gift of writing poems is priceless.

A way to portray..

I've utilized Poetry.com in the past with "publications" on their platform and had poems in a few books. (Even though I paid for them). I was able to share and have my work read with people who also share the passion. I plan to continue to use them. Good people and company.
