  Guidelines for submission
« on: October 18, 2005, 07:41:05 PM » by Jay Dougherty
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



To submit your poetry:

Make sure you have created an account on Poetry Circle and logged in. To create an account now, click click here.

Note: We encourage you to sign up using your real name or the pen name by which you are known. If you have signed up using a fanciful name, click the Profile link under MemberTools, click Account Related Settings, and in the Name text box, change your user name.

1. Click the Submit your poetry link from the Contents menu on the Poetry Circle home page.

2. Under Board Tools, locate and click the Start New Topic link.

3. You'll be taken to the Start New Topic screen. There, type the title of your poem in the Subject box, and then type or enter the text of the poem in the large text box below the row of smilies.

4. Click the Additional Options link below the large text box if you wish to see other posting options.

5. Click Post when you've finished.

Your work may be moved to the read-only Editors' Picks board or to the Front Page board by one of Poetry Circle's roving editors. Poems most recently moved to the Front Page board will appear on the front page of Poetry Circle.

Note: if the quality of your work is deemed unsuitable for Poetry Circle, it may be moved to a board called Rejected Work. This board is visible only to registered users of Poetry Circle.

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  Sad 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,
