The
Creative- Poems website (http://www.creative-poems.com) is a wonderful site, where you can receive recognition for your work through
member comments, weekly
Featured Poetry Awards, and monthly
Poetry Contests. They do not pay for the poems they post, though they
do offer prizes in their monthly
Poetry Contest.
At
Creative-Poems, non-premium (free)
members--as well as trial members--are
allowed to place up to five
posts on their site in a 24-hour period. (Premium members are allowed eight.) This is somewhat misleading, though, and requires a bit of clarification.
At first glance, it would appear that you'd be able to post up to five--or eight--
poems to the site every 24 hours--and this can, indeed, be the case, provided you are very careful not to leave any typos or other errors in your
Poem, which might require its modification
after it's been posted! The reason for this is that, should your poem require editing
after posting, you will be
resubmitting it after making your corrections--just as if it were a
new poem--and thus you will be using another of the finite number of posts you are allowed daily. So,
always preview your work before submitting, to be sure your formatting is the way you want it and your work contains no typos. (Occasionally, you'll miss something and need to resubmit--we're all human--but at least you'll know that you aren't wasting most of your posts simply correcting errors!)
Both regular and premium members may save, for later posting, up to five
drafts in addition to the five--or eight--poems they may post in a 24-hour period, in case they aren't quite ready to post their work when they must leave the site. With a little prior knowledge of the workings of this great site and the obstacles you might encounter there, you can be well on your way to a long and fulfilling relationship with a dedicated group of site administrators and moderators who are friendly, helpful, responsive, and eager to showcase your work!
Creative-Poems.com is a
fabulous forum for your work and a great community of friendly poets, who will help encourage you along the path of self-expression through that most magical of mediums:
Poetry! If you are a
Poet and haven't yet visited this site, check it out!
You'll be glad you did!
