Well, I take it that if you are reading this you found out about it the same way I did. I was shocked. To think that they meaning poetry.com list poems dedicated to Sept. 11th is a shame.

I myself was all to excited to recieve my letter stating that I had artistic quality and that my poem was going to be published. So I called family and friends telling them about my good fortune. Yes, call me a sucker because I sent off for the book and also paid for my artist profile.

Upon reading the reports listed in here, I got curious myself and gave them a call. They recieved my money all right. The check has cleared my account. So I wasn't to surprised when they told me that my artist profile was not recieved. Go figure. I wrote that with my artist proof and sent the check in at the same time.

How could they not have gotten the profile. It was only written on the same page. I was told that I would be refunded my money for the artist biography. That does not make me happy.

My poem was specially dedicated to those who have loved, lost and suffered with a disease called cystic fibrosis. A disease that my own daughter has. It was my one chance to get the word out about this disease and make a special dedication to my angel in waiting (daughter). I paid the money for it, sent it in and some how my check went through but nothing else was recieved by them.

I encourage those to not send in the money. Don't get your hopes up. It is the worlds largest poetry site and the worlds largest scammers for taking away people's hopes and dreams.

POETRY.Com, you should feel ashamed.

cannot say that this is not a scam

AUTHOR: Stacie - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 24, 2003

After research and waiting for what seemed like a lifetime to receive my book, I thought I was also going to be a victim of this scam, but surprisingly today I got home and found a beautiful book with my poem published in it. I cannot say that this is not a scam of some sorts, but my poem made it through and was published. I would probably never do this again through them, but would much rather go to a publishing company and pay for it all on my own if it meant that much to me.
