Poetry.com is a scam in the fact that, no matter what you enter into their contest, you "win" and then they offer to publish it for you in a book of a bunch of other kids' poetry, but the book costs you like $70. They make money off of the few folks who think they're the best poets ever and don't realize it's a sham (also referred to as scam/flim-flam. See Volume II, Episode IV, p. 921-922).
By the way, I don't really write poetry, I'm just a-joking.
Here's some new painfully bad stuff:
Cheese is best,
Makes you rest,
In a nest,
Not a jest.
Elk are great,
Really first-rate,
I could date,
An elk's net weight.

Enter any poem you like. Heck, enter a 9-page essay on the bad effects of philanthropy, and you will "win." If you really want to read what I submitted (half of the words in this were created by a randomly-opened dictionary) here it is-
Apocalypse
Yea, the great opposum,
upon his humble hind lay a flea of twenty,
who's vast fisheries exceeded rest,
"but why?" quoth the flea,
"must I tabanise myself upon this marsupial hide?,"
"The tollage lieth beyond."
Along the line of sand grains Crotalus basks awaiting,
till blazing sheets of flame parget the shining portal,
and death lie awaiting infenitismal legions,
abrasions on marsupial hides be lessened,
Pestilence cometh to the Siphonapteran.
The gate of peril gloweth before the fleafolk,
blazing like an unearthen comet,
pulling through the parasites three by three,
three by three they disappeared,
through the window of no mercy,
defenestrated.

hey sven, you know what... theres no way that everyone wins... they have like 30 books out... and theres 1500 poems per book... thats what? 45000 users... theres 6.4 million users on that sight... so maybe theres a lot chosen but still.... out of 6.4 million its almost nothing

Well they at least have extremely loose guidelines on what is good and what is not. And I don't like "winning" things when the prize is giving someone else money.

hehe... think of it this way... you dont have to buy the book, youll be published anyway

Probably only the people that buy the book get published. That's why there's only 45000 poems published out of all those people. Most were smart enough to say no.

you could still go to the book store and see it... and if its not there you can sew... beacause it would be false advertisement...

Jeez! You can sew anything these days!
As long as it's... cloth!

I sure don't.
By the way, I think you spelled "believe" wrong in your signature unless it's supposed to be some kind of play on words, whereas it's a bad one.
