| Poets' Corner |
|
A well designed site, with a lot of great poetry. Categories
include Love, Insight, and Nature, as well as a very interesting Interactive category
(visitors add their own stanzas to existing poems). They also have a chat room (not
terribly active the few times I was there), and a great Search feature so you can look for
just the right poem to suit your needs. All in all, a very nice place to visit! |

| The Web
Post -- Love Poems |
|
The only category here is - you guessed it - Love Poems. It's not a fancy
site, which makes it easy to navigate, and you won't find hundreds and hundreds of poems
(unless you visit their alphabetized Archives). But those that are there are nice ones.
There's also a Top Ten feature worth checking out. |

|
| A Little Poetry |
|
A Little Poetry presents a wide variety of contemporary poetry, including
poets from around the world--from famous faces to burgeoning beginners. Features include a
Poet of the Week and a Poetry Site of the week. |

| Lovestories.com |
|
You could easily spend several days here, perusing the articles and diaries
and even a recipe or two. And that's before you even get to the 12,000 poems, submitted by
over 5,000 poets like you and me. Can you say WOW??? |

| The
Bridge |
|
The Bridge publishes exciting new poetry, fiction, art and photography -
with the self-proclaimed distinction of being real and gutsy rather than glitzy or
glamorous. This link takes you to their Current Issue (monthly), but be sure to check out
the Library for a whole lot more great poetry and art. |

| Beyond The
Mist Poetry Page |
|
This site hasn't been up long, but they're quickly building a good list of
poems. Read those already posted, or submit your own. |

|

| The Poetry Emporium |
|
If you like cute, you'll love Andrea's home page. She features poetry by
herself, by personal friends, and some submitted by people like you and I. |

| Pete's
Best Loved Poems |
|
A wonderful collection of poetry, organized by author or title, and ranging
from the famous to collections submitted by every-day people like you and I. A very nicely
designed site, too. Recommended! |

| Electronic Poetry
Center |
|
Put together by University at Buffalo, the EPC "serves as a central
gateway to resources in electronic poetry and poetics produced at the University at
Buffalo as well as elsewhere on the Internet." At first I thought this site was
simply hard to navigate. Then I discovered they have over 23 GIG of information and poetry
on line, and I realized it was simply too darn BIG. Warning - try to limit yourself to
just seven or eight hours at a time or else your eyes will will be crossed like mine... |

| Farvin's Masterpiece Palace |
|
A *very* impressive web site, with beautiful graphics (okay, so it's a bit
slow) and exquisite balance. Oh yea, there's a darn nice collection of poetry (and other
stuff) lurking beneath the beauty, too! |
