poetry.com is basically a scam. They just want you to buy their leatherbound books full of any random poem people send in.

Poetry.com is a scam, a sales site to buy a $50 book of poetry that has no organization to it - just pages and pages of poems that gullible people paid to get into the book so they could see their name and poem in print, i.e., "published".

My son had sent them a poem and didn't win the contest, but they wrote back that his poem was "evocative and meaningful". Now, whenever we make fun of someone's story or poem, we roll our eyes and say how "evocative and meaningful" it is.

I'm sorry to say, but poetry.com is a total scam. I'd take my poem elsewhere if I were you.

If you have a copy of it, I'd just send it again. . .but just as a warning, poetry.com is kind of a scam. They tell you you've won all these poetry "awards," and then sell you a ridiculously overpriced book with your name in it. You could submit a dirty limerick and they'd tell you how great it was.
