Have You Ever Submitted A Poem To Poetry.com, Or The International Library Of Poetry?

Is the contest legitimate?

    No.  Well they may publish in a book but you have to pay for the book and all of the places they say you can go to you have to pay money to attend etc.  My family members have done these in the past and nothing came of it, they just want you to send money for all types of books that they publish your poem in etc.  So they can make money off of you.  Even if you dont do anything they will continue to send things by email and mail for years to come regarding your poem lots of spam trying to make things sound neat and winning things but wanting you to buy things etc.

      I have sent two poems both were included in books that were published. I believe they tell you are included so you will purchase the book. It was two different contests but same gimmick.
