Submit Your Poetry
If you would like to submit your poetry for publication on this blog, you are welcome to do so.
Simply register for a free account, and post your poem. When you are ready for your poem to appear on this blog, hit “Publish.”
We will see your poem the next time we log on to the admin area, so that we can approve it for publication. However, we won’t be notified automatically when your poem has been submitted. So if you would like to have your poem looked at as soon as possible, please send us an email.
A Few Rules
- Any poetry you post must be written by you. No plagiarism, please.
- Please post poetry in keeping with the theme of this blog. This includes memorial poetry, funeral poetry, or any poetry written in memory of a loved one. If you have any other type of poetry which you would like to publish, you may submit it to one of our sister sites, Free Poems or Poems and Stories.
- If you would like to allow others to use your poems (such as in memorial services, letters to friends, or even cards or plaques) please state this at the end of your poem. Also state your terms of use. (We recommend that, if you allow others to use your poems, you minimally state that they must credit the original author.)
- When you publish a poem, you may include one or two links back to your site(s) with your poem, provided that it is your personal site or is otherwise relevant to poetry, the arts, or the general theme of this blog.
- You retain all copyrights to your poems. We will not use your poem outside this site without your permission.
- We do not wish to publish heavily erotic or sexually oriented material, obsessive obscenity, racism, hate, discrimination, writing which seems to condone suicide or crime or drug use, anything else which we deem inappropriate, or anything which violates the law.
- Any poetry you post on this blog is at your own risk. By posting poetry on this blog, you agree to indemnify and hold us unaccountable for anything that may possibly go wrong as a result of your having posted poetry on this blog. We ourselves will not act to harm you, or try to violate your copyrights in any way.
- We reserve the right to modify, add, or delete the tags or categories which are assigned to the poetry in this site.
- We reserve the right to remove any links in your posts, which we deem inappropriate.
- You are encouraged to comment on other poems which have been published in this blog.
- We reserve the right to publish or not publish any poem you submit, as we see fit. We reserve the right to correct obvious spelling mistakes or obvious errors in formatting (such as occurs when people copy their work directly from a Word Document into the blog, which is not advised).
- We reserve the right to make any changes to our blog which we see fit, and to add, delete, or rearrange the poetry and content herein, but without changing the content of the poems, except in the case of obvious formatting or typographical errors. We reserve the right to include any content we choose, alongside your poetry.
