There’s a place where true poets go,
To tell their tales through poetry,
To let their feelings show.
This place is open to all who have that special gift,
That gift through words that can give a sad person an
Emotional lift.
This place is open to all who walk in darkness,
Through tears and typing you can release all your
Sadness.
For people with hope,
This place has poems to help you cope.
This place has weird poems, spiritual poems, nature poems,
Erotic and beat,
This place has poems about that special person you asked god to please let you meet.
And for that sweet girl or guy in your life from up above,
This place has poems about love.
This place is full of grace and is a wonderful world of rhyme,
A place where you could let go and spend some time.
So what is this place I speak of do you really want to know?
It’s called All Poetry, the place where true poets go.

I love this poem because it is pure, honest truth. Whrere would we all be without AP? It's the home of many lost souls, somewhere we can pour out our troubles and share in our joys. With every topic under the sun there is something for everyone on this site. It's were we make friends, share sorrows and ease the pain within our hearts. It is the true poetic homeland. I love the simplicity yet power of this poem. It speaks nothing more than the truth. The only negative I have to say is the layout. For me whereas the poem seems soft and emotinal the layout id sharp and jagged. But that is a minor detail. Well deserving place in my finalists list I think. Good luck.

Thank You so very much for your great god given eyes. You were right. I hope my little mistakes won't change my place in the contest. P.s I changed them.

I'm thinking in the second line you meant through instead of though. Also, I'm not really sure but I think you meant 'meet' in the second line. I could be entirely wrong, but you never know.

Nice job on this. It was very honest and had some feeling to it. I did see one little typo, but I don't really mind that. I just suggest you fix that. It makes it a little better. Nice job on this!
