Does anyone know of any sites where I can find some good poetry to read?

I believe fiction press has a huge poetry section you could check out. And Jupiter-Lightning has some poems on that site too that I found to be pretty good, only on there her user name is Dawn-n-Dusk44 ...I think I spelled that right, if not you'll have to ask her, lol. ^.^ Well, if you're interested that is.  |

Yeah, I knew about fictionpress. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other sites where good poetry could be found. I'll be sure to check to see if I can find JL's stuff. |

Do you mean poetry by famous, classical authors or poetry by aspiring authors?

Both, either. Whichever.  |

I took contemporary poetry my sophomore year of high school. My class was assigned a project where we created an archive of ten reliable poetry websites. These were the ones I found: I've got annotations for each of the sites if you'd like them. |

Yup, no problem. I'd also recommend fictionpress.net, but that site's just overflowing with poetry... and not all of it's that good (not to criticize anybody here, of course!) There's so much of it that it tends to be difficult to sort the good poetry from the bad. The other sites I listed have archives that are organized more precisely and offer more professional poetry. I guess if you're looking for amateur work, though, fictinpress is the place to be.

Yeah I agree with you blondie about finding good poetry on there. I don't normally go on there to read I just post my stuff there, but sometimes I get lucky and find some great stuff on there.
