Whatsapp DP People often comment at whatsapp DP, Be reciprocated with an exclamation-“Yippee”. Comment could be vague and opaque, Don’t send such for heaven’s sake.

Adios destino Te esperé, no apareciste, Todo parecía correcto, pero no se sentía claro. Mi mente estaba nublada, débil y frágil, Tal vez fuiste tú quien interpretó la historia de la traición. Deseaba tenerte cerca, para siempre cerca, Pero me temo... – *by Obed daniels*	added by It2it 1 hour ago
Trust Issues Trust issues Here I sit So simple witted. I trusted a fart, And nearly shitted. That's a gamble you take, And soon you'll regret. As you scurry for the shitter, Your brow dripping with sweat. You plop down on the seat, In the nick of... – *by DAVID DARGIS*	added by daviedarg85 2 hours ago
My Teacher from back in the day My Teacher from Back in the Day I saw my teacher from back in the day Got a flashback in the hallway The one who molded me, Scolded me Showed me the way What can I say, There was my teacher from back in the day.

Gone Fishing in Heaven Gone Fishing in Heaven Ode to My Step father, Alton Roy Milton You loved to fish, to pass the day, Caught catfish, bass and sa-ca-lait. Sittin’ on the bank thinking away, Trying to find the words to say. That was your off day, Wanting... – *by Stephanie Pitre-Kirk*	added by spitre71360 3 hours ago
Tin Pinch and Patty came by way of me and Bender O' Bender I did want to see. To be or not to be was the question of free and that's the way I came to me in the way I see. May sin and my sin was all that I could see but to be or not to be was not even... – *by Lon*	added by larryglunk 3 hours ago
Summoning courage Now I shouldn't be a little afraid if I pluck up the courage and measure myself once. I stand on the two tongues of a scale; I wonder how much my crimes actually show? And was I the only one to make a mistake?! Among traitors and accomplices, who... – *by Norbert Tasev*	added by oasev 3 hours ago

Do you treasure perplexity strive to confuse doubting the obvious pandering the ruse Do you live inside cloud cover avoiding the sun exposure avoided your fear on the run Do you hide behind bombast the panderer’s lie your costumes... – *by Kurt Philip Behm*	added by KurtPhilipBehm 6 hours ago
Whispers of Desire Shhh, let’s not speak on what we feel ….it will become real. Words spoken under cover of a soft breath that burns with a yearning you can barely describe.

To starve To starve - To be alone hungry and none offer help. To eat garbage just because. To tear a muscle in your self because you have no food.

An Echo or a Voice? Why don't you want to be yourself And show what you can do? Don't hide away upon a shelf As if your life was through. Don't worry if the others care About your personal style.

Mostly I mostly like to be outside When clouds are in the sky. The wind can make them dance with pride With Eagles way up high. The trees join in and dance around While swaying here and there.

Beginning to wonder about this site. I earned the 100 free views yet when I went to use it, I was told I had to pay $10. Figuring I missed something, I used the contact us form to ask for help only to find out that using the contact form costs $1. I am left wondering if I should bother trying for the free contest submission as I may not get that after I earn it either. more »

  Don’t fret just yet....Though these incentive bonuses are a brand new thing (and I don’t know much about them) I do know a little about the dynamics of the site and it just may be that the master site has not been fully updated to reflect your progress....in my experience, it seems that if you do anything new after 8pm (roughly) it won’t get recorded until the next day l, so just bear with them and be looking for a notification or email. more »

  Thank you. I will be patient. Though, I do wonder, is this site still moderated? I notice none of the people who run it have been seen for months.

  I cannot speak to the former owners other than they are just that, previous owners ....The poetry.com domain got picked up by the Stands4 folks in early 2021 and from what l gather, our running much better than the old rendition, --but it is different than probably what you remember, l’m sure. And yes, it is moderated.... more »

How can we "Subscribe" to an author, so that when they post a new poem we get a notice of it? That would be a really useful thing to do -

  absolutely! Under each poet name you can click the 'favorite' button. You will then appear on their fan page and be notified when they post a new poem :)

This new set up of poetry.com is a bit difficult to understand. No views are visible . views encourage a person.

  HI Anisa, welcome to the site! If you scroll to the end of the poem you can read information including: date poem was written, date poem was submitted to the site, how long it takes to read the poem and also the number of views. It can take a while for your poems to get noticed - one way of getting out there is to promote your poem. It then gets featured on our homepage in the promoted poems section and you can enjoy your views rise there ;) more »
