Re: please help

When you post them on your page the judge's read them there and judge them.

Re: please help

Best way to get your poems read is to read and rate other folks.

They want to hear what you have to say about their work as well.

As far as i know, the judges are the other poets on this site. I do not think their is a panel of people who read every poem on this site.

By reading and reviewing other peoples work, you expose yourself to a broad variety of styles and improve your own skills at writing.

I have not notice any character limit I go to add poems - then after I hit submit - it usually ask do you want to add a photo - then ask do you want to send it to facebook and etc. but I just hit skip this part / continue I forget exactly what it says.

There is a limit, but its tens of thousands of characters long. How long is the poem that you're trying to paste in? Also, what error is it throwing up?

Sorry, didn't read this close enough the first time.

In the yellow portion, at the very end of the message in there, if its a character limit issue, it'll say "Your poem can't be longer than 50,000 characters" or something like that. Is that what you're seeing?

Yes something simular to that. its a pretty long yellow code and at the end it says your poem in over 10000 characthers long. the poem is copied from my word doc and pasted into the area for submitting poems. I am hoping that i dont have to maually type in the poems. that would be t long

You can copy and paste just fine. We bumped up the character limit this morning, so try again, and it should work for you.

that worked. thank you very much!!!

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
