asked:


So for my poetry project, I have to write a poem about a theme like America, Freedom, Dreams, or any other theme that has to do with the Harlem Renaissance.

It’sJustMe asked:


I write a decent amount of poetry, it is really a stress reliever for me. My neices were going through my works and some of them really moved them. I was wondering where a non-scam poetry wedsite or online forum might be and how I could submit some of my poetry for publication.
I don’t want to just get them printed. I would like to know if my work is good enough to be included with other great works of poetry. I have put some of my work on my blog, just to express myself.

One has noticed many people using Yahoo Q & A to share their talent or attempts at poetry. Now a person would like to inquire if you, having admitted or denied that you like poetry, would share at least one thought on poetry or poems or poets. Do you write poetry? Why or why not? What would it take for a person to be considered a poet? What is poetry? What is poesy?
