Anyone good at Poetry?

Postby bozotheclown338 » Sat May 22, 2004 7:17 pm

If anyone thinks they are a good poet, they should see this:         http://www.poetry.com/contest/contest.asp?Suite=A44201        

You could win $10,000 :o


This was an ad on this site if you were wondering where I got it.

Interesting ad...I ain't no poet but I tried submitting a poem. Maybe I'll win and use it as a scholarship for college and money for Flight School  ::) ;D

Humm. Seem to remeber hearing about an organization like that. As I recall it was a scam. They'd publish your poems but wouldn't give you recognition. Don't know if these are the same people.

I sent them something once.  Basically what they do is publish EVERYTHING, and then try to sell you the hardcover book for a pretty penny.

I didn't do it to be famous or rich, I did it to have something published.  lol  It worked.
Great edit, Bob.
