You can find our enormous collection of famous and classic poets there, newly added poems, as well as our <a href="/promoted-poems" class="referall"><b>promoted poems</b></a>. If you like surprises try hitting our random poem button.</p> <p><b>I love a poem I just read.

Once you become an active part of the community it becomes easier to get noticed, generate more views and receive feedback.</p> <p><b>What is a Promoted Poem?</b></p> <p>You can pay as little as $10 to promote a poem. This guarantees you a minimum of 100 views to your poem and visibility across our website as part of a rotation.</p> <p><b>Why should I pay to promote my work?</b></p> <ul> <li style="list-style: disc !important"><p>The number of poems submitted per day is high.

Online since 2001, we are a leading digital media provider of free online reference, education & creative resources — serving millions of unique visitors worldwide with genuine content and community tools through our globally collaborative network of premium brands.</p> <p><b>What are your plans for Poetry.com?</b></p> <p>As the new owners of Poetry.com, we aim to be a warm, welcoming community for poets worldwide - experienced veterans and newcomers alike.

We did our very best to retrieve whatever we could from public internet archives. All we are in possession of currently, is available on our site.</p> <p><b>Do you have access to my poems from previous versions of the site?</b></p> <p>As the new owners of Poetry.com, we acquired the domain name, but couldn't obtain the accounts, poetry or publications that were associated with the old Poetry.com website.</p> <p><b>What's the best chance of finding my old work?</b></p> <p>We have created a system on the new site for users to locate and claim poems we have been fortunate enough to retrieve from internet records. Here's how to get the best chance of locating your work on our site, if we managed to save it:</p> <ol> <li style="list-style: decimal !important"><p> Use our search box to look for your poetry, either by poet name or poem title. If you think you may have used a slightly different name please try searching using all variations.</p></li> <li style="list-style: decimal !important"><p> You can also explore our poems by searching alphabetically by name of poem, or poet.</p></li> <li style="list-style: decimal !important"><p> You can claim ownership for the work by clicking on the 'Claim this poet' link that appears on the unclaimed poet page.</p></li> </ol> <p><b>Why wasn't my search successful?</b></p> <p>Some material dates further than records go, other work remains inaccessible for reasons unknown.</p> <p>You may still have a chance to find what you're looking for by going through pages on Archive.org at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/poetry.com">https://web.archive.org/web/*/poetry.com</a> - it is a public service website, unrelated to us and you may just get lucky if you search around the dates you posted...</p> <p><b>My poem was in a published book/anthology.
