    When writing a book, if the story includes a sports celebrity, do I have to change...

    Probably best to check on the legality of it, but I would say that it probably depends on how they are included. If it is just a passing reference to them that is one thing, but if they are actually playing the part of a character and having thoughts and opinions and speaking dialogue etc could...

    My father has passed away. We have found some poetry of his that should be

    If you do an internet search for publishers you will find an abundance of them. You will have to pay of course but just look for the cheapest and best offer. As for copyright. While a person is still living their work is automatically copyrighted by them and proof is merely the name and date...

    this is my first attempt at poetry, i am going through the toughest time of my life....

    I think it is not bad at all for a first attempt and the emotion of it does come across. However on the technical side....I don't think the word Awoken exists, maybe just "woken" and then "I have woken". line 9 changes tense and would probably be better as "life flows past me" rather that "life...

    will you please read my poem?

    The only verse I like is the last one. I think the good use of rhyme in this verse brings it together nicely and it makes a good statement about your attitude to girls in general. If the other 3 verses were as good I think it might be a good poem.

    Do you write poetry primarily for yourself or others?

    I ask this question, because in my own case, I mainly write humorous poetry and I honestly believe that I write mainly for others to enjoy and not just for myself. If others do not read my poems and find them funny there seems little point to them. I do enjoy writing them and obviously I am...

    Is rhyme still important in Poetry?

    I am interested to know other peoples opinion on this. I actually do usually prefer poetry that rhymes, as I think it brings the poem together and helps with rhythm. With humorous verse it can also add to the humour of the poem. However I know that 'free verse' is very popular these days. I do...

    Please rate this humorous poem?

    School Revenge Some of the kids in my class haven’t been that nice to me, Today’s the day the worm is turning as you’ll plainly see. I have some things that I have hidden in my school rucksack, In order that I’ll finally be getting my own back. Smelly Billy Johnson last year gave me...

    Has anyone ever actually been paid for their poetry?

    Purely out of interest, I was just wondering if anyone has ever actually made any money out of writing poetry. I have come across quite a few poets in the last couple of years and have yet to find anyone who has done so. Also, I know this is unlikely, but has anyone managed to make a living out...

    hi!! Please judge my poem...?

    There are a few mistakes I think such as v3 line 3 that should either be "she had won" or "she thinks she has won" and the last line in the last verse should be I think "she's" and not "she've". Some good points to the poem I like your use of personification of contentment in v1 although rather...
