Poetry.com?

Question

They scammed me when I was 11. I sent them money, etc. etc. You know the deal. Then I never got letters from them. So I submitted another poem, got the same d**n letter. So I sent them money, thinking I was a good poet. Then I found them out. I just laughed. Even though they basically robbed me.

So I inserted a poem it went like this:

"This is a poem

This is a poem

Poetry.com is g*y

they suck big meaty balls

and they wear my grandmas shawls

bahfdbhesagh"

**I did it as a joke. With spelling errors and everything. Then they sent me the infamous " YOUR A FINALIST " letter.

So please kids, don't even go to the website.

Answer 2

They did the same thing when I was 11 or 12! I sent this poem called The Hawk On The Tree:

In the morning through the window

I thought I saw a black widow

But no,it was a hawk perched on a tree

I looked at it and it looked at me

The hawk had a brillant beautiful color

It had a color unlike anyother

It simply spread it's wings and flew away

I'll always remember it to this day.

(It is also a true story!!!)

When I sent this they gave me a whole buntch of junk and me being a Ambassador!!!!! =0 They expect me to pay for my trophy and such... I didn't even win  when they say I'm a finalist!!! I agree the only good things is rating poems!!!

Answer 3

Sorry you had to learn the hard way. Publishing (poetry, songs etc..) & work from home scams (stuffing envelopes etc.. ) are the oldest ones going.

there was a great one for a "solar powered clothes dryer) for $19.99. You got 2 clothespins & some rope.

Answer 4

brilliant..just wished I'd thought of it when I recieved that letter from them.

Answer 5

A timely reminder for all.  Loved your poem...such a superb effort! lol

Answer 6

They scammed me when i was in highschool too. Some silly friends recommended me to that stupid website. Got the same d**n letter, invitation to the international poetry conference, etc everytime i sent them a poem. By now i hope everyone already know that it's a total scam. Loved your poem. Now i feel like doing the same thing too! lol
