Hey, I posted about poetry.com a few days ago, and you seemed to think I was wrong about it. I'm not asking you to believe what I said, but if you don't trust me, then please, don't trust poetry.com, read about them for yourself:
She asked for a place where she could share her poems, and by posting them on the website, other people will read them. There's nothing wrong with that!
I got a letter in the mail too, but just tossed it in the trash, would I actually think that they'd accept MY poem out of thousands?? Duh! Who cares about hte dumb contest, I love poetry!
Though they do make it look exceptionaly convincing, with ads in local newspapers and on sites, I agree with you that they are frauds and shouldn't be given any money. But I think that posting poems on the website is harmless and fine.
