All Poetry

I find AP one of the very best sites to post your poetry and to get positive feedbacks. You will be recognised, criticised and appreciated at the same time. This will be a manure to your budding poetry.

Most of the users are talented and creative in their own way.If you have the vastness of mind to enjoy each and every type of poems, and if you have the urge to find different styles of poetry, AP is the best place!

There are a very few people who scribble something that doesn't make sense, but Most of the writers are very talented.

I read writings of different poets &thus I understand different styles of writings, different viewpoints and different attitudes. This helps me understand poetry & human perspectives better!

I would thank Kevin for such a wonderful site :). In my opinion, the site can be made better and visually appealing in the course of time.

There are always issues and such. I haven't been bullied on this site but there are somethings I don't understand. I think there are a lot of favorites who win in many contests especially the main ones by Kevin but pure evil because it promotes homosexual and bisexual poets. Wow have to disagree with the evil part. I don't like everything on the site but peoe have been pretty cool to me. I dont care about if they are bi or gay and guess what I'm a Christian and proud of it. Never had troubles with bullies on here. I use to have more trouble over at poetry.com.

Most of the people are respectful and thankfully it's not like some sites like wattpad where you have to have a billion followers before anything happens. It really is about poetry. Lots of diversity. The only thing is that "autorank" feature which is really annoying and detrimental. It'll tell you that your favorite poem you've ever written is a 1/10 just because your verb syntax isn't normal or whatever. However, it's a very good, earnest community with good moderators. I also like that you can turn off the "points" and "levels" thing so that it really is just about poetry.

I must say I am shocked by the reviews that talk about bullying by other members and staff. I've been a member for eight years and have never had a problem. You can get comments on your work by commenting on other's poetry. Some people do not take constructive criticism well and will respond negatively. Same as in life. I've never had a staff member try to force me into a paid membership. In fact, they give you a week of paid membership perks on your birthday and your anniversary with Allpoetry. I use the site because it automatically copyrighted your writing when you post it. Mind you, it still needs to be registered w/ the Library of Congress to hold up in court but just the copyright symbol is a deterrent to plaguerism and theft. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was I have yet to find a group that I enjoy.

I have been a member on AP for more than 12 years (I did stop for a few years for personal reasons) The site is good there are many great writers other not so great but they will improve it they keep trying and read other people work. There is a pleasant community. You can find every style and fit in with your own There are many contests you can enter run by fellow poets. You can get critical review or just nice comment from people who read your poems and like them. Overall I never seen a better site for poetry that gives you the freedom to participate at your own pace with your style find your own voice and grow as a poet. You can be a pay member or go for free in exchange for a free ride you have to make 3 comments for every poem you post to encourage participation I have done it it is possible and friendly. Now I pay for membership and taking up some reduction offers it is actually quite affordable. Thank you to Kevin for running it it is absolutely fantastic.

It is way better than a fan story simply because you have more options regarding whether you want to be a paid member or be on the site for free. Fan Story doesn't have the free option.

Allpoetry.com is an amazing place, the site has helped me grow so much, I mean really, I wouldn't be the writer I am today without A. P... I have been on the site for two years now, and my only pain is I didn't discover it early, well it's a matter of personal choice, so for me, Allpoetry.com is king and will be till I no longer write... My only complaint is the lack of an Allpoetry app... Come on, please Kevin... We can do it... Allpoetry.com deserves more than even the given five in rating. Allpoetry.com, the best.

I have enjoyed AP immensely. There are amateurs who write from the heart and deserve to have their day, and there are some very fine writers as well. I have not had any of the unpleasant activities listed in a few complaints. I have two poetry books published. They are not Shakespeare, but they are good. There are snobs in writing as well as anywhere else, and there are occasionally people who are a pain. But that's life. Get over it. This is a great site.
