Poetry.com is a scam! Here are a couple of links to illustrate what I =
mean:

http://windpub.org/literary.scams/endall.htm

http://www.stopilp.com/

http://www.writersweekly.com/warnings/poetry.html

My daughter sent a poem to this outfit 2 years ago. They have an online =
submission form, so I didn't know anything about it until we received =
the "congratulatory" letter in the mail. We continue to get one of these =
letters every other month.

Don't fall for the hype. It is a slick method devised to separate =
earnest writers from their hard-earned money.
