The posting of song lyrics is not the purpose of this board and as such please refrain from doing so. Exceptions can be made to this rule if you are the copyrighted owner of the lyrics and the lyrics are not found offensive by the majority of the population.

We have received word from Fencer that other's poetry can be posted to this board. These are the two conditions: 1) When someone posts a known copyrighted poem, he must add the author's name as well 2) If the author is not known, the poem can be posted without problems
题目: Re: Yes, Poetry.com I would have to agree is a scam..
ScarlettRose, I like your poem very much and found all 6 of them on the site under Cathryn Ann Higgs and one called "Or Do We Dare" under Cathryn Higgs; is this also yours? Have you ever gone to the library to try and find the books they claim they print? They tell everyone they have won to get you to buy other stuff they sell and conferences to attend which cost lots of money and when I inquired about it, they said that is how they get the money to pay all the contests for weekly, monthly and big winning ones. You could check with your Attorney General in your state to find out if a lot of complaints have proved they are scams or ligit. I purchased 2 CD's that have one of my poems in them and the plaques (3) that bear the only 3 poems I have written and submitted to them. I do not expect to win as I am not that good writing poems, chances of winning are too great even if they are ligit but had fun doing it to see it printed anywhere; even if it is on their site. I have read poems that have won and feel they were not good at all but I am not a ligit critic and have limited knowledge of what is good. Do not get discouraged as you never know. Look at people that spend thousands of dollars on the lottery and never win and some person bets $1.00 and wins millions. It is all the luck of the draw; right?
