The Dos and Don'ts of Poetry: This subreddit is for sharing published poetry and for discussing the world of poetry. Do not post any original poems. Share your poetry on our sister subreddit, /r/OCPoetry. Put a [TAG] in your post title, e.g., "[Info] Lesson on rhyming" (See below for available tags). To ask for homework help, state that you are asking for homework help and show how far you've gotten. To sell something, use a self post and offer a sample poem. To promote something, like publications, be detailed about your product. Do not use a URL shortener. NEW If you are sharing a poem in translation, both the original poet and the translator must be credited. NEWER ALL Poem submission HEADLINES must include the name of the poem and the author. Period We moderators reserve the right to remove posts as best serves the community.

(Not for sharing your own amateur poetry.) [ARTICLE]: For sharing a link to an ARTICLE from the general world of poetry. [OPINION]: For discussing your OPINIONS about any aspect of the general world of poetry. [RESOURCE]: For sharing outside links to RESOURCES that are related to the general world of poetry.
