People can put their best poems straight onto the web.

I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.
Poems seem to have a life of their own. They tell you when enough is enough.
We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.
Poems are endlessly renewable resources. Whatever you bring to them, at whatever stage of life, gets mirrored back, refracted, reread in new ways.
Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.
The number of people writing poems is vast, and their reasons for doing so are many, that much can be surmised from the stacks of submissions.
I like poems that inspire, that make us think and reflect. It's like putting love into the world for whoever picks it up.
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
In a funny way, poems are suited to modern life. They're short, they're intense. Nobody has time to read a 700-page book. People read magazines, and a poem takes less time than an article.
Poetry and lyrics are very similar. Making words bounce off a page.
