I like writing poems and I have loads of them in my diary. But I don't know how and where I can publish them. I would like other mylot friends to share their poems with me. If you have any please send me some. Help me get a website where I can publish them to be viewed by everyone.

In addition to the ideas other posters have given, look at lulu.com. It's a self publishing company where you can do print on demand or ebooks (ebooks cost nothing) and they list them. A lot of people go there to buy small books of various kinds, so if you're poetry is good, you stand a chance of selling some.

I also liked to write poems and I would buy a notebook just for my poems but I don't read them at all once they are written. I write them all in my head and play around with the words and try to rhyme them but there was very little sense in what I was trying to do. Cheers!!

We all are in some way or other a poet. We do imagine our feelings but we do not write them on paper. I too did not read my poems when written but my kids read them and find them interesting and asked me to continue with it. Bye Have a nice day.

You could also consider publishing them in the creative writing parts of Helium and Associated Content. They'd earn you a few cents there from page views. (And you can also keep them on your own site, provided you don't give exclusive rights to the directories.)

Thank you dear for giving me such a good idea. But i don't know how to make a blog. If ever I make one I'm sure you will like to read my poems which are more about love and friendship. chao
