Poem Online

Welcome to Poem Online.

Poem Online is a community of poets helping each other to hone their craft. Have you ever wondered what others may think of your poetry, or if you need to learn to be a better writer?

If you have then this is the place for you.

Poem Online is now a large community of poets and is more than willing to read and comment on your work. We have been online since 1998 with always the same motto, "Bringing poets together."

On the Poetry Forums,
We encourage peer to peer critique.  Challenging the poet not to only write poetry, but to offer suggestions to other poets to help them improve as well. We expect poets to have a thick skin and not to take it personal if they are unhappy with a critque from another member. The goal is to get honest feedback from other poets to help each member improve as a writer. At the same time we encourage poets to critique the poem and not criticize the poet personally. Poets here are from all over the world with many different backgrounds, We encourage poets to keep an open mind when reading poetry from members that do not share the same values or cultural background.

On the Poetry Blogs,
We encourage members to post poems they consider to be finished. If you are wanting critique of your poem you should post to the poetry forums.

  • You're an Idiot
    Following a brief pause, the argument continued once on the train and it wasn#39;t long before the swing returned. You weren#39;t listening, I wasn#39;t either (I say retrospectively in order to keep the peace). Eyes diverted from all angles Ears pricked at my tone Stunned silence surrounded our words. I wanted you to accept that sometimes, you...

    If you see me, do not judge me in my particulars. With me, feelings and faces and meanings they change.

  • Focal Point • Re: unfinished texture
    oooo interesting idea. I'm wondering about color too...I use way too much blue and yellow (as is obvious in all my pieces) ---perhaps I should bring in some maroon just for you, my blood queen.

  • Poetry Central • Re: Countries are not People, My Friend
    How many have died because they stepped over a "line" ---that is a terrible thought. I'm torn about the title, though. Not sure it reflects the vast richness of the piece. But then, who am I to say? Wonderful deep thought-provoking as always.

    I wonder who Amanada is...is this a person of historical value that I should recognize (an allusion?) because honestly I don't. Capitalization of each line of the poem is a personal choice, but honestly I find it a tiny bit distracting, especially since you don't even cap the...
