POETS-BEWARE OF THIS CON GAME

I recently entered 2 of my poems in Poetry.com's Poetry contest. Not long after I received a notice in the mail,not that I had won anything,but that they wanted to put one of my poems in a Coffee Table Book of poetry. I was very excited until I got to the page that said " and for the low price of $49.99 you can own a copy for yourself! Of course I sent them a big fat NOTHING. Then yesterday I get a notice that they want to put my Poem on a CD. Of course it was followed by the same send me money and YOU TOO can own a copy of your own work. I will not pay you for publishing and profiting from my own work! Are these people nuts? Wait till you see what my next "POEM" will be!ROFLMAO...

Flattery does not impress, as compensation does. The End

Date: 11/16/2001 8:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 15033    There have been several posts about Poetry.com in the past year. WHAT A RIP OFF!!! They should be sued. Someone should see to it that their fraudulant site be taken down once and for all. Love,

Date: 11/16/2001 8:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 38906    mine was said to be published also! what book did they say it was? much luv  
Date: 11/16/2001 8:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 14015    I know. I put a few of my poems on their site. I wont ever again. Sure they give you a copyright for you poem, but it doesn't apply to them. As soon as you put something on their site they can distrubite to anyone they want, making money off your poem! The'll even try making you pay for a book of your own poems!!! So please, listen! Don't give you poen to Poetry.com, like a lot of people mistakenly already have.
