My Poem

If your poem was being submitted anywhere else but the place you have chosen, I would rate and encourage you to win; HOWEVER the address of the company you are submitting your poetry too is, unfortunately, part of a huge scam. Contact poetry.com today Our street address is: poetry.com 1 Poetry Plaza Owings Mills, MD 21117 I received an "Outstanding Editor's Choice award" from The National Library of Ppoetry, also located in Owings Mills, MD doing business as poetry.com They pick your poem out of hundreds, publish it in a leatherbound book, expect you to attend a dinner, conference, awards ceremony at $500.oo per person AND your poem engraved with name, date, isbn, and framed ! Or, you can just send $50.oo (3 monthly payment installments of folks ! )for the book ! Well I got the book, a small award, but the poem was never copyright protected and after having their logo on it, I can never re-sell it, re-print it, or do anything I want with it . . . cannot even sue because I won an award ! If your poetry is good, and Woman coming in as a good poem, I discourage you from sending it to fraud-influenced poetry scraphouses like poetry.com in Owings Mills, MD. I just care to not see you get ripped off and treated like a buyer instead of an authentic writer . . . sharing the light, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire http://www.associatedcontent.com/content.cfm?content_type=user&content_type_id=1556

great poem my friend i hope you get plenty of votes.i did hear from other people that this site is a scam though.im really not sure though if that is true.pattie

You sure have my vote my dear friend, that was a passionate poem from the heart, and you too are talented, thank you for sharing, I hope that you get lots of votes x

This poem was well written. I gave you a 10 for it. I hope you win it. I might try it. I haven't wrote any poems in a while though. Most of mine were about sadness or anger. i think to help me get over things. So that's not really good.

That was truly a beautiful poem worldwise...I rated it a ten... :)

ok now my poem! I voted already for urs. As I was going up the stair, I met a man who who wasn't there, He wasn't there again today! I wish that man would go away!

I voted and gave you a 10 before I read the other posts here and I must admit I'm very disappointed. I've also got a poem I was going to ask for votes for and I guess I felt pretty proud of myself for having won an award but I guess poetry.com is a scam. Your poem is very good and quite worthy of the prize. I hope we haven't both been scammed. I didn't give them any money although I get e-mails daily with offers for the book and to join some poets' organization. I passed on all of that figuring if I win the grand prize I'll buy the book. Oh, well, great poem and good luck with it! Wish me luck too. Annie
