Friendship-Poems.com is an archive comprising 600,000+ poems by famous authors and site users.
In it you’ll find mostly friendship poems and quotes divided into several categories and topics, so you’ll definitely find something that either meets your likes or mood. In order to publish your creations, you need to become a member of the site, which has some benefits, as you get to vote other people’s submissions and enter some of the frequent poetry contests hosted by the site. At Friendship-Poems.com users will also be able to find several forums where to discuss aesthetics and creative processes from a non-academic point of view, which means that you need not be aware of any particular theory or have any degree to read or join the forum, which is a really great thing, in so as much as it allows non-professional poets to engage in discussions they are comfortable with. However, the site encourages its users to get familiarized with the technical issues of writing poems, like punctuation, capitalization, grammar, metrics and the like through a series of articles submitted by users, and by providing a link directory to other poetry-related sites. I reckon this site will be of great use not only to poets themselves, but to publishers looking to sign deals with little-known or independent authors, whose work they can explore through this site.
