    I just went outside and checked my mail, and i had two letters from poetry.com, and get this:
    after submitting one of my poems, not only have i been submitted into the semi-finals of their contest, but im also nomitated for the poet of the year award and am getting my poem published in a book with full copywright! AND ive been invited to read my poem at a convention/ceremony in las vegas, and induced as an international poet of merit and honored member of our society 07-08.
    along with this i get a crystal trophy and some kind of metal, and since in in the semi finals i have a chance at winning 20,000 dollars!!!!
    this.
    is.
    amazing!
    this isnt even one of my better poems!

    I agree. I mean...i did that when I was like 14 and they sent it to me. I think I've gotten that same letter like 3 or 4 times from them since then. Plus, several friends of mine who used the site had the SAME letter sent to them. It's disappointing to know, but at least you won't waste your time or money!
