We are open to poetry of all types from serious poets. However, poems that exhibit any of the following characteristics will likely be rejected:
Sloppy grammar, punctuation, and spelling when the sloppiness is clearly not intentional
Cliches in diction or content
A style that reflects more familiarity with greeting card or "inspirational" verse than what is typically considered serious postmodern or contemporary work

Thanks... Umm I hope my work doesn't get rejected. I know my poetry is different than what most people consider to be poetry. So we'll see.

I'm confused by this post. So your basically saying NOT every type of poety is welcome.. even if they are a serious poet? I have been writing for close to thirteen years.. and most of my poetry always rhymes.. thats just my style.. thats how if comes out.. do you consider that to be "hallmark-ey" I was once a member of this group a few years back.. and I NEVER read anything like this saying some could be rejected :( I know I am not the creator of this site.. but that doesn't seem fair. All poets and their styles are different... we all have our own opinions and like different things.. but I think ALL poets are wonderful... wether or not they use my style of poetry or not.. I think EVERYONE is talented.. but thats just my two cents.

Err, okay... if everyone's talented, it implies that nobody is.
Take care,

I saw you on my last tough
and meet you on my last breath
before I know what I feel about you
you came to me and say "we already meet when you`re dream recently"
I was sock because I know how kind you are

That is so seriously editorial I'm afraid to submit anything. I'm pretty sure every one of my poems would fail on one of those points. Possibly the one about taking it very seriously. Not that I don't take the poems seriously, just the rest of it.

Paul,
One of my favorite movies is called
The Shootist.
You may have seen it. I like that movie because there is one scene in it that changed my attitude about life and everything I do.
I'll sum it up:
John Wayne plays a gunfighter who is dying of cancer. He comes to town to get an opinion from a Dr. While there he meets a young man played by Ron Howard. He agrees to teach Howard to shoot and while target shooting, Ron Howard exclaims that Wayne "must be the best there is." Wayne tells him, "It's not being the best, or the fastest, it's being willing."
Being willing, Paul, is what gets us everywhere in life. People who are Willing to walk out into the street and face the bullet are going to reap the reward.

Not sure what the patient's disease is but I'd start google the disease+poetry and see what you come up with. Underage accounts aren't approved at our site.

Dear Matt
You can join the army in America if you are 17 and have your parents permission
yet now i hear in this thread that you have to be 18 to write poetry at this circle.
I can not seem to remember having had
to show my drivers license when i signed up here
but then again if i was blind i would not
have one any way.
