Poetry.com welcomes all amateur poets and invites you to participate in the world’s largest and most vibrant poetry community.

Our community is built on the belief that poetry is a powerful form of creative self expression and that each person deserves to share their own personal message with the world.

It will be exciting for you to receive comments and feedback from the millions of people who will read your poetry on this site. In this regard, we hope that you will honor a simple pledge: For each poem you post to the community, please review two poems that have been written by your fellow poets.

By taking this pledge, you will be insuring that all of us receive the valuable feedback and comments that we find so rewarding. Please note that you will also be rewarded with twice as many points for reviewing a poem as you will be for writing one. These bonus points reflect how valuable your personal feedback is to the members of our community!
